No idea if it was true.... But it sure did seem that in 2002-2006 they hired primarily regional captains, and a few years later it was a lot of regional FO's..

I think it is going to come down to the individual and his background. One of my internals was hired at JB over 3 yrs ago, and he had 3200TT, no internals, nothing, call out of blue. However, he also had been with 2 part 121 carriers and 3 type ratings, which to me would tell me he can probably pass a training program. I think any 5+ yr regional FO can probably pass a major airline training program and be successful. Just my line of thinking...

What do you think would cause a non 121 background to fail training.
I haven't heard any feedback as to the background and experience level of those failing training. Also, how much different would an A320 type be than a CRJ or EMB 145 type from a level of difficulty?
I'm 135 background.

mins are not competitive mins
5000 is BS guys , they are looking to see how you react , plenty of people getting hired without 5000 TT, a mix of everybody here . 135 guys , 121 non Pic guys and even guys without jet time which used to be a huge factor for JetBlue , appears they are easing up on it tho ..
Good luck to all those who want it and don't let the recruiters so called quals get in the way... 5000 is a dream world for JetBlue with the Legacy hiring that's about to start taking place

Please understand that 5000 is not a dream and telling others would be a bit dishonest. Plenty getting on at Legacy carriers with far less than 5000. There are many that continue to update wondering why they are not getting the call for an interview.

Just curious,

I don't think 121 training is all that difficult, I have been with two different 121 carriers and usually the people that are having difficulty are the ones with a bad attitude or not taking it seriously. If you have a good attitude, pay attention, listen to the instructors, there really shoulnd't be an issue, no matter if you are 121/135/military/etc.

Fly in the night before if u can. That's what I did and I highly recommend it. I had a late morning time but still, it made things a lot easier. I was able to fly home after the interview but I guess that depends on where home is for you. Fly in the night before, give yourself time and be yourself. Good luck.
