Or they're coming from the military. The G7 guys will be going through their first airline training curriculum at JetBlue.
As far as the cape air guys they come here with around 4000 hours total time. Most of that as PIC in challenging flying conditions. So you cannot even compare the two programs.
The G7 guys will come here with 1500 hours. Competitive hiring mins for a new hire is 5000.
No different than some of the other established gateways (3 and 4) that hire people with no prior turbine or airline time.
20 guys a year will come through G7. A drop in the bucket. Tinfoil hats much?
