I'm in a similar situation. Because you're a Nov9th I think you're going to have more of a wait. JBlue will work with you and the military stuff. If you deferred a class while on deployment they would understand and wait for you to get back.

I am also from Nov 9th. Have you tried emailing them and telling them your situation? It sounds like some people have emailed though, and JB is saying to be patient, which I understand. It would be nice to know something, good or bad, but it sounds like the story is different every week. I know you can differ a class once, but with you being on an assignment, I bet they will work with you. It looks like we have several months to wait unfortunatly. You gota do what you gota do man! Good luck and let us know if they give you any insight!

I was down at the schoolhouse last week. What I heard from very reliable sources was pretty much what the other posters have said. New classes will continue until around the end of April which translates into 60-80 new hires. There will not likely be any new hire classes over the summer and hiring will resume late fall in anticipation for next year. This info comes directly from the people that make the decisions.

In regards to whether or not JetBlue would flush the pool I seriously doubt that would ever happen. It just doesn't coincide with their previous history in these matters. If for some reason you are officially in the pool or just a long time phase 2 guy I would rest easy knowing that you will get the invite eventually. I know the angst of waiting is tough but don't do anything rash. I think you are in a good spot. Hang in there.

Sorry to hear that! Had you received the email that you were in the pool?

Ouch, man. That sucks.

Did you have any busts in your background or was it clean? That's what makes me nervous. Guys still getting FedEx letters with clean backgrounds. I just sent an e-mail to HR to update my address. I hope I don't see a letter, but it's better to know about it than have FedEx sticky notes piling up at my old address while I'm still thinking I've got a shot....

Background was clean(live more than 10 years in the US. Working in Part 135 , flying 2 types same time, no DUI, no busted check rides, clean driving record...). But what I think... I've never worked before in Part 121. And my PIC Jet time from foreign Air Force. And by the way I did not get "pool" Email before.

Was down at the schoolhouse 3 weeks ago and heard the very same thing from the #2 in flt ops....

But then had RM (#2 at the company) on the jumpseat last night and I asked him about this and he said No to 65 NH's and told me it would be north of 200 for 2012....just saying
