jetBlue Pilot Interview:
JetBlue now interviews on a competitive basis instead of "first-applied, first-interviewed". I was told by HR at the interview that the old way did not give them enough quality pilots.
JetBlue will fly you out and back from any city they serve. They also put you up in a hotel while there and take you back to JFK after the interview. All you have to do is get yourself from the hotel to their offices. A $15.00 cab ride but everyone shares with someone else. I recommend even if you have to go out of the way, try to get on a JetBlue flight. I think you will be impressed.
First order is turn in paperwork, log books etc. Then head to lounge.
They interview at different times of the day but show up early and sit around in the lounge talking "pilot-talk" with the VPs and even the President if he is around. A very informal Q&A session.
We were given a nice package which list benefits, compensation etc. They also gave us with bumper stickers and buttons
Two interviews are accomplished about 50 minutes to an hour each. One with a pilot, the other with HR. There is no particular order. Very relaxed, informal but they are VERY percise in how they want you to answer. All questions were: Tell me about a time... There were no technical or situational questions. No sim and no testing. All questions must be answered with a specific example in the Situation, Action, Result format. Even the paper they take notes on is divided into those three areas. So you must present your answers in that manner.
These were the questions I was asked. The first five from the pilot and the rest from HR. But they may not be divided up as such for everyone.
TAAT you had a very challenging flight and how did you work through those challenges.
TAAT you had a supervisor you did not get along with and why.
TAAT you forgot to do something important.
TAAT you did something to enhance safety procedures.
TAAT you took steps to make sure a customer was satisfied.
TAAT you spent a lot of time helping someone with an idea they told you about.
TA the toughest crewmember you ever flew with.
TAAT you had to talk to a coworker about being unsafe or ignoring/violating a regulation/procedure.
TAAT you had to convince someone to do something that was in the best interest of the company.
My last question was: What three things would your references say about you.
Will Fly For Food has additional questions on their JetBlue post but I was not asked any. So check it out.
HR told me no news is good news. If you hear something in several weeks it is bad. If things are going well you should hear in about 60 days. It takes a while for their background checks. This is definitely a "people-person" company. If you have an attitude or don't like to work with others then don't bother to apply, you won't make it. I was told they had a couple of people make it through the interview but were kicked out of initial training not because they couldn't fly, but because their true attitude and personality did not fit the JetBlue culture.
