For years every airline had the same posted minimums and they are just that, minimums - a starting point. The difference between two carriers who don't require a degree is one is still attracting the higher qualified pilot and able to hire such individual while the other one is attracting the pilot who simply meets the minimums because the other carrier won't hire said pilot.
It doesn't matter what the minimums are when you attract the most qualified from all applicants.
Jetblue is not attracting the highest qualified for a variety of reasons to include job is not viewed as a career(read compensation and benefits) or the targeted hiring is not aimed at the most qualified but rather those who are unable to leave in short order.

JB is not hurting getting applicants... yet. They are still getting some very qualified guys, the questions is, how many will stick around past year 1? A lot of the new hires are guys escaping the crappy and dying regionals, and JB is that escape, but I can tell you a good majority don't plan on making JB a career.

For others its a stone to step on or over.

The chief pilot in mco at recurrent said the app pool is shrinking rapidly. About 1200 competitive applicants but he doesn't see us getting more than 500 in the next year the way it's going. He also knows all those apps are also out at every legacy as well. Didn't paint a pretty picture. He knows we need a good contract to attract pilots.

This is part of the email I received...
"... Space will be limited and pilots must have an active application on file. Registration will open May 5 on the ALPA Fee-for-Departure Committee (FFDC) website. This event is for active ALPA members/pilots only. "
Funny they specify "active". Wouldn't want to open it up to furloughed ("inactive") ALPA pilots or anything, lol.
