my 2 cents
Hello all,
Im new here. Just to throw in my 2 cents. I love this industry and worked most of my life as a ramp agent with Comair before I was laid off last year in September. I had an offshore job but the time away from my family was too hard on them even though the money was good. I now am trying to get back in the airline biz. I live in Orlando and just applied yesterday (2/11) when I saw that JB was hiring for PT ground ops. I am hoping I get the job and hope the process don't take too long.

MCO and BOS are the 2 main cities that are forecasted to double in size in the next 2 years. I suspect you will be seeing quite a few new positions at both of these cities.

I recently lost my (non-airline) job, and the first thing I did (literally, 9 AM the next morning) was check out JB careers and put together a cover letter for a position in yield management. Full day of interviews tomorrow!!! I am so psyched.
Good luck to all my fellow applicants, though perhaps not if you're applying for the same job

The rumor about WN has been around for a while. The only gates that are/will become available in BOS are the E gates after NW leaves for A, as well as FL's old D gates. Either way that is 4 gates in E or 4 gates in D, or 8 gates as they can/do share an interconnecting walkway.

Great thread folks. Question, how hard is it to get into the sales/marketing side of B6? Also do they have positions like that at IAD? I filled out the careers page on the website and attached my resume and get job updates every so often but mostly for Ground ops, which is something my body cant handle anymore. I have a sales background and am interested in getting into the B6 Sales/Marketing side of things. Any ideas or pointers would be great even if it is possible that they have something like that at IAD being it is not a Hub for B6.
Thanks again

training is a bunch of tests and tutorials done via computer/online. It will be based on customer service as well as the reservations system. There will be an instructor that will teach you obviously. I don't remember exactly but you must get at least a 70 or 80% on every test. Most people pass, but there were 3 people in my class that got sent home.
