It's exactly 100 miles from Foxwoods to Logan, majority all highway.I can't speak for the employee parking but I know without any major traffic problems you can get there under 2 hours. Two B6 guys sit SCR in my town and make it...

Eh..you must be a lead foot. I drive 75 going up I-95 and you're always going to hit some sort of traffic in Providence and Boston. It takes me 1:30 to the Chelsea garage with some sort of traffic and literally walk into the terminal with roughly 5-10 mins. to spare. The parking garage is $25 a day.

In line with what we are hearing as a reduction of hiring as I previously mentioned. Bumped into one of pilot recruiters at JFK and he told the numbers have been going back and forth.. Can change at any moment though.. Keep the faith!

That may be the cut off. I was an October 14th early afternoon interview, and I've heard zilch since the phase 2 email. Same with the other afternoon guys I keep in touch with. I'd be happy with a pool email just to end the suspense. With my luck, the hiring well dry up right before I get called.

It looks like they're slowing. I think if you're in the pool they'll keep us. Once they pick-up again they'll start where they left off. Hiring will start again. This is a pause. The economy will be stronger in 2012 and JBlue will continue its growth plans. Another note is December 31st 2012 is the day we've all been waiting for.

For those of us that are in Phase 2 and not received a Pool email to join the swimming party...What are your thoughts? Will they dump us and start fresh when things open up again? I hope not! I just hope my current job holds up...Hang in there everyone

My opinion only, I am 99% confident they will not do that. Anyone in phaseII should have a class in 2012, but not predicting when. Could be late in the year for those that interviewed last. But, can change quickly.
