A glass cockpit doesn't have the round gauges on the instrument panel. Instead the plane has CRT tubes--like your TV. So there is a graphic display of the engine and navigational gauges.

JetBlue flies A320's. Guess what? A320's have--glass cockpits. JetBlue recruiters seem to think it's different. They want pilots who are computer savvy since they outfit them with laptops and do all of their calculations and reporting that way. Of course, now they probably want pilots with tons of A320 time! They can be selective now because they can. In the start up stage, they were hiring people with 1,500 hours TT. They hired some one we know with zero PIC time in a turbo prop in May, 2001--he was an FO. He is a captain with them now--although he had trouble upgrading (duh). He got the job cause he is personable, looks the part and when they asked why he wanted to work there, he told them, "Because I look terrible in a hat--no hat ever fits me right." (They don't have to wear hats). They loved the answer! But, who knows what their minimum is now...
