Even though it's less than 3%, it's still a lot when you compare it to the amount of new hires. Attrition accounts for 25-35% of new hires. Jblue has hired about 200 so far this year and about 65 has quite...still have almost 5 months left. Attrition most likely will increase next year as well. JetBlue plans on hiring 370 next year with 10 pilots leaving a month.

Wow, 65 new hires out of 200 quit already?? I can see an FO with some time on property or Jr Capt leaving for a legacy, but why such a high turn over among new hires? Having aalmost 1/3 of your new hires leave in less than a year has me either questioning the job HR does in selecting candidates, or if there are underlying issues with the job itself. I certainly appreciate the insight you guys have provided on the attrition there.

Money talks, Bull$hit walks- until JetBlue starts having a competitive contract they'll become an increasingly revolving door outfit like SWA, frontier, Spirit, Atlas, and all the others have started to become...
All the majors are targeting the same applicants. It's a matter of economics for a lot of people... Management will be the first to tell you this is business. I'm glad there are some pilots willing to treat the industry the same way.

Anyone here know what kind of success 2nd time interviews have? My first interview with jetBlue was almost 2 years ago. I had never interviewed with a 121 carrier and was the 1st interview I had in 14 years. So, I know for a fact that I was not polished. I have some 121 time now and a few interviews under my belt, so I'm hoping to show better the second time around. Any advice or info would be appreciated.

I didn't do a professional prep course so I don't know what they would say about mentioning a previous interview, but I ran with my gut feeling, and it worked..........OR jetblue just needed warm bodies, and I fit the bill.
