perks
 

hi, as employees if we want to purchase airfare for family or friends do we get some sort of a discount as well? also, do you get discounts on international airlines that jetblue has contracts or deals with?

thanks!!

Some airports went into a hiring freeze, even after a position was posted. This is the case for BOS. A friend of mine applied for AO in BOS (she would be a rehire) but has heard nothing. I recently found out about the hiring freeze. This may be the case for your position. I would expect it to start opening up in the next few months..

We have agreements with many domestic and international airlines which you fly space available for a nominal fee. This is eligble for most parents, spouse, and eligible dependents.

Ok thanks for that tip about the hiring freeze. I will continue checking and hope that I will get a call soon :)

I just completed my automated phone interview yesterday! Hopefully they will contact me for the next step. Is the next step the face to face interview? Is that at the home base of which you applied for? How long does it usually take to hear back about the automated interview?

Well I have my face to face interview on Friday the 14th! I hope all goes well, things seem to be going good so far :)

Good to know! Keep us in the loop with how things go! We're rooting for you.

Thanks so much, I've got my fingers crossed!

Wishing you luck!!! I just finished with the finger printing last week, so now I wait to hear the verdict...I'm very hopeful.

Oh that's great, best of luck! How was the in person interview? I'm really excited and hopefull too! Where abouts are you applying?

Employment
 

Does anyone know how far in advance jetBlue interivews for airport operation crew members when they open a new station?

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!^
