Congrats to the new Phase 2'ers!

If memory serves me correct, once you pass your checkride, you go from $2500/month to 70 hours guarantee. Once you pass IOE, you go to regular guarantee 75 hours. Your hotel is paid for during training, usually hotel has free hot breakfast and daily manager's reception, and rooms usually have a kitchenette.

Just a note about the guarantee mentioned above. You first go to 70 hrs after the check ride because that is regular guarantee. Then you go to 75 after IOE because you will be on reserve, and reserve guarantee is 75.

Im sure they go faster because it is easy for jetblue to get in contact with the military offices that deal with background checks, and like you said the mil background check is probably more in depth than the airline one. The ones that tend to take a little longer are those who might have worked for a carrier that has gone out of business, or a small corporate operator that isnt easy to get in contact with. PRIA is Pilot Records Improvement Act, or something, and basically outlines your previous training history and would show any failures, incompletes, etc.

I have a theory that it goes by interview time slots, and then by when your background check and previous employment is verified. That is why we typically try to keep track of who is getting called for classes based on when they interviewed.

Typically they call you and have a classdate in mind for you. If you told them in the exit interview that your earliest available date would be XYZ then dont worry. I had a previous obligation and was called early for a class. I just told them that I wouldnt be able to take a class before April, and said that I stated that in the exit interview, and they were completely cool with it. When April rolled around and I still hadnt been called for a class I called up the contact in the People Dept and told her I was available for the next available class. She got me all set up without any issues.

Try to get into the Part 121 regulations and review stuff like fuel requirements, alternate airports, etc. Besides that I wouldnt worry about training. The environment is very relaxed and laid back, just stay with the program and study what they tell you to study. Good luck!

Sorry to hear bud. Don't let it get to you too much. I was rejected back in January this year and was really down about it and then got another interview on 11-15. Still awaiting an email tho. Hoping for a better outcome.

I interviewed the same week and haven't heard yes or no, but I did get a call concerning a background check. Hoping that is a good sign.

If they are running a background check on you then you are in Phase 2. Same thing happened to me heard from the background company several hours before I got the email. Also check your spam folders
