It will possibly depend on how the operation is going to be run at the station. Most of the smaller outstations are ground contracted out so the only hiring they would need to do would be for gate and counter. Then they would have to send you down to MCO for computer and operations training and I believe that is a 2 week course? I think they might start looking at about 3 months out. Maybe 4. I'm not too sure really. If you're looking at DCA i'd say good luck. I'm sure we are going to have a TON of transfers from IAD and BWI to DCA. BDL may have some bleed off from BOS but I wouldn't expect too much there.

The best bet is to keep checking jetblue.com for updated postings.

Thank You
 

Thank you JetBlueFA! Its BDL that I am talking about. I do look everyday in jetBlue.com but 6 months may be too far out. I am interested in the ticket counter/gate position. I am a former USAirways ticket counter/gate agent. I see that jetBlue uses Sabre Sonic computer system. Do you know how different that is compared to Sabre? Thanks!

I use to use SABRE at ATA and I call this version the "hello kitty" version of SABRE where as the old SABRE is the DOS version :) It is all point and click now and looks like windows compared to DOS but does the same thing. I haven't used it but just looked at the gate agents using it and it seems ok.

Thanks Again
 

Thanks again JetBlueFA for your help!^

hi,

i did fingerprinting this past week and the background check company followed up on some missing items.

when should i wait to hear back from jetblue? i am so anxious. i hear there is a training at the end of the month...which is next week.

I got the Airport Ops Position!
 

After almost 3 months of interviewing, finger printing, drug testing, and going through a very detailed background check, I finally was offered the job!!! Very excited! I am headed to MCO in June for training. :)

First off congratulations sir :p....Now guys i need your help..Tomorrow is orientation for me i have to go to MCO and come back to the classes..what could i expect through all of this? ....thanks^

Congrats!

Welcome to Jetblue!!

Congrats on being hired!! Best of luck in training! I had my in person interview last Friday, I think it went very good so now I am just waiting to hear back and hopefully I will be moving forward too!

Well I got an email today stating that they choose another canidate for the position :( I will continue checking the website, but does anyone know since I was not choosen for this postion at this time can I still re-apply for the same position if another one comes available at a later time?

I guess I am little confused because they sent me another email stating that I was not eligible for A/O position at another city which I applied for as well, since I already interview with in the past 12 months. Does that mean any A/O position that comes available I can not re apply for a year? :confused:

JB Application
 

I applied for a position at JB two months ago and the app is still saying "under consideration"
Anyone have any similar instances with JB employment apps?
It is a long time to be under consideration.....

AO Training
 

Are there any recent new employees who went to training in MCO for airport operations reading this thread? If so, how were the 4 tests that they give? Hard? Easy?

Hello all!

I'm new to these forums and have recently gone through the initial stages of the jetBlue interview/hiring process. I went to the group interview and was given the form to take the drug test. Well...I went to my testing site but was unable to *ahem* complete the test. Anyhoo, the technician said I could "just come back on Monday (the 30th) with the form" problem is, I was given the form by the jetBlue recruiter.

I have since called the number that was on the form (Drug & Alcohol Dept) and left a couple of messages but have not gotten a response. I'm worried that this missed drug test will screw my chances of getting the job. :confused:

Thoughts? Advice?

Welcome to FlyerTalk!

Do you no longer have the form? Did you lose it? Or did the testing center keep it? Or is there something else that I'm missing???

If you do not take the drug test you definitely won't get the job. I'm pretty certain of that.

The testing center definitely kept the form.

Dependant
 

Does anyone know if jetBlue accepts dependants on their flying benefits? My son is 31 years old and handicapped (does not walk) and would like to know if I were hired by jetblue would they accept him as well as a spouse. Anyone out there in a similar situation? Thanks!

Kids get flight benefits IIRC.

Dependants
 

Thank you, but this isn't a kid. He is 31 years old and physically handicapped. He does not walk and is my child. Being 31 years old, I would think would be over the age limit for flying benefits, but he is a dependant. Does anyone know of any situations like this? Thank you.

Children up to age 21 or 23, I forget which.

Thank you. I am just wondering if they allow dependents ... family who are disabled, past age 21. Anyone out there is a situation like mine?

job interview next week!!!!
 

hi,

I have a interview next week for airport ops position. I've heard the interviews are pretty intense. What happens during the 6 hours? Is there anything I should be prepared for? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

jet blue AO training
 

does each crew member get their own room at training or do you have a roommate for the Airport Crew postion

I'm pretty sure everybody gets their own room while at training.

What is the dress code while at training?

Business Casual when ever at the training campus

Hi everyone!

I applied for an A/O position recently, took part of a phone interview, went on a face-to-face interview, and I am now awaiting the results of my background check. I tried to check the status of my application on JetBlue's website, but it doesn't list the staus of my current application. What could this mean? Does anyone have any insight as to what the next step is in the hiring process?

Also, I sent an email to thank the recruiter after the interview, but I was wondering; how long should I wait to contact the recruiter once again without seeming too desperate or annoying?

Any information would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks so much!!!

Background checks can take quite a while to process through. It all depends how easy it is/was to track your movements over the last 10 years. I think mine alone took 3 weeks. If you are being processed with a background check there is a very strong possibility that you will be offered a position as the background check is a huge endeavor to undertake to not offer a position to somebody, unless something negative turns up in their check. I'd give it another couple of weeks.

I echo that-- my JB background check was by far the most stringent I've ever had. Can't hurt to call the background check company or the recruiter and ask for a status update.

Airport Operations
 

Hi everyone,

I noticed that this thread hasn't been active in months but I am taking a chance to post my question just in case someone catches this. I applied for the AO position with JFK on 5/16/12 and I haven't been contacted as of yet. I know it can take time and I have to be patient but I'm a bit concerned with my application. I've applied for other positions before and under my candidate profile I can see the links for those older positions and click on them for a description. For some reason I am not able to click on the link for the AO position. Does this mean that the opening has been pulled and my application was withdrawn? Also if you are not considered, do they send you a thanks but no thanks letter? I haven't received one from the other positions that I applied for and I can't withdraw from them either. I've read on their site that if you are disqualified for a position you won't be able to withdraw yourself from it so that answered my question on those two applications.

This is the first time that I've really wanted to work for a company. I've done my research on this company and I love their corporate culture and values. So far I've seen that their employees are happy with their jobs and I would love to be in the same place someday. Any information is helpful.

Did you receive a confirmation email when you first submitted your application? If so, no worries...you're good. Also, don't worry that you can't pull up the specific job description. Just make sure it's under the positions you applied for.

Thank you for your response! Yes it's still under my candidate application section. I hope they call me back. I have to meet with a British Airways recruiter next week but I would prefer to be part of the JetBlue team.

I do have another question about the application process. I applied on 5/16/2012 for AO at JFK. From what I read on different forums and this one is that they can contact you in a few days from applying or even a few weeks. Is a few weeks normal? I know having patience is part of the waiting game but I would like to know how long is too long. I know they get so many applications that they don't send rejection emails anymore. I just really want this job. Actually I've never wanted to work for any company like I do for JetBlue.

On a funnier note, I made a mistake on my cover letter by typing Aiport instead of Airport, twice. I am kicking myself for that typo and not spellchecking my document before submitting it. I did submit a corrected one as part of my profile.

Any information given is appreciated!

Yes-- it's normal. I believe it took over 6 weeks when I first applied.

jj1987: Thank you for your reply. Did you wait six weeks to get contacted for your phone interview? Also which airport did you apply for and for what position?

I *think* 6 weeks to get a phone interview from what I remember. It's been a while. Working at JetBlue, from the benefits to the work environment has been the best job I've had, so hang in there and don't give up! :D

Completed the phone interview for Boston Ground Operations and Airport Operations back on May 27th. Attended the company presentation and interview on Monday June 18th and then went for the Physical Agilities Test, drug test and fingerprinting down at Logan on Thursday June 21st so now just waiting. Contacted Hireright to inquire about the status of my background check and she said that the file was completed so hopefully it won't be too long before I recieved a job offer.My friend who got hired for ground operations in Boston was supposed to attened training in Orlando June 26th but I guess the class was canceled so now he is leaving at the end of July which kind of stinks but at least he has a date.

anyone on here work for JetBlue corporate IT?

Wish you the best. Please let us know.

interviews for JetBlue
 

can anyone offer advice on the interview process? I applied several years ago, and was too nervous during the group interview....listening to other responses of their "helped out a crew member..." or "went beyond the call of duty...." stories....and thinking...."man...I don't have anything like that!" I'm hoping for suggestions to be better prepared and less nervous.
