Pilot Interview Profile:

Jet Blue paid for hotel and cab to interview in New York.

Everyone goes into a large waiting room to wait for their two interviews. One with a Pilot and one with an HR person. Set up just like a Southwest interview. While waiting to interview you could talk to other candidates or ask questions of the President of the Company Dave Barger, Chief pilot, Director of Safety, or David Neeleman the man who started it all. This was not part of the interview, but was a way for your to know the corporate culture and learn about jetBlue. The interviews were both very relaxed and consisted of the following questions:

Tell me about a time a subordinate came up with an idea and how you helped them developed the idea and what happened?

Tell me about the toughest crew you have ever flown with?

Tell me about a time you had to roll up your sleeves to get the job done?

Tell me about a time you effectively handled a guest complaint?

Tell me about a time you ensured a customers needs were met?

Tell me about a situation you took steps to make sure customer was satisfied?

Tell me about a time you saw a coworker unsafe?

Tell me about a time you were under staffed at work and what you did about it to make sure safety was not compromised?

Tell me about a time you enhanced safety procedures?

What procedure do you use to keep track of items which need to be done.

Tell me about a time you forgot to do something important?

What do you do during idle time at work?

Tell me about a time job opportunities were limited and was it good or bad?

Tell about a time you had to work closely with others and was it good or bad?

Describe a time you had the most fun at work?

Describe degree of community involvement the organization was involved in and how you viewed that?

Tell me something you want us to know about you which we may not have learned from the interview.

All questions should be answered in situation action and result format. They want to see what kind of leadership and team building you have.

The best information I can get is that JB is approaching the hiring just like SWA. Their Head of People is former SWA.

Pilot Interview Profile:

They are now doing interviews in NYC. Jet Blue paid for Hotel and cab to interview. Interview lasted about 2 hours. Separate session with Pilot and HR each about 1 hour. Questions were typical SWA questions. There was a larger room that they jokingly called the safe room. They had bagels and beverages and several tables and chairs. The V.P. of Flight Ops. along with the head of HR spoke to the group of us that had assembled there. This was very casual and did not appear to be part of the process in terms of them evaluating the applicant. They spent most of the time answering questions and I enjoyed a good bagel while listening to the random questions. I learned alot about Jet Blue, and left with a genuine desire to be part of the future there. We were told that 150 people were being interviewed during a 4 day period and that they hoped to hire enough to fill 3 classes( 30 Pilots ). The experience level was very high. Almost every Pilot I spoke to was a Check Airman at his current employer.
