JetBlue calls its flight attendants inflight crewmembers. JetBlue doesn't publish its hiring steps, but candidates describe an online assessment, a recorded video interview and an in-person day called the Blue Review. Here's what to expect and how to prepare.
Last checked October 2026 against JetBlue's careers pages and candidate reports.
Candidate reports describe around seven questions of about three minutes each, with one re-record allowed, plus two short memory games. These reports are a few years old, so check your own invitation.
Reported themes include handling stress, helping someone with compassion, a promise you couldn't keep and a dishonest colleague. Three minutes is long: without a clear ending, answers drift.
Candidates report being asked to name JetBlue's five values. Know them, and know which story goes with each.
JetBlue's five values are safety, caring, integrity, passion and fun, and its mission is bringing humanity back to air travel. JetBlue leans on these more than most airlines: you may be asked to name them, so have a real example for each rather than reciting the list.
Paraphrased from candidate reports. Expect different wording, and questions built around the same themes.
JetBlue's Newark crew base closes in fall 2026, so check the bases in your own posting rather than older guides.
JetBlue doesn't publish its appearance standards. Candidates report that one visible tattoo is allowed, no bigger than an ID badge, on the arms or legs only, and that tattoos on the head, face, neck or hands must be covered. Visible facial piercings, including nose and cartilage piercings, are reported as not allowed. Covering tattoos for the Blue Review is the safe choice.
JetBlue doesn't publish an interview dress code. Candidates report business professional: a suit, or a shirt and dress trousers, or a knee-length skirt and blouse, with closed-toe dress shoes. That's more formal than JetBlue's own style, and that's fine.
JetBlue's process is one of the slower ones. Candidates report waiting anywhere from two weeks to three months between the recorded interview and a Blue Review invitation, and six to eight months from application to the start of training.
JetBlue asks that you can reach 6 feet 3 inches (75 inches) without shoes, and fit through the overwing exit and the jumpseat.
JetBlue doesn't publish its policy. Candidates report one small visible tattoo on the arms or legs is allowed, and none on the head, face, neck or hands.
