I know ALOT of people who want to be pilots. More specifically they want to be JetBlue pilots. They've all been struggling and sweating for 8-10 years TRYING to get to a company like JetBlue. Raising kids on Regional pay. Flying legacy passengers around for years while being spat on by "real" pilots and mgmt. some of them flew combat. Now they want to bring ALLLLLLLLLLL that time, experience, and knowledge to make our pilot group safer, more professional and bring value to a brand we care about.

To spend the better part of a decade squiring this experience was hard work. Now we have a program for people to jump to the front of the line. All for the low low retail prpice of $125K.

So you'll excuse them if they feel a bit short changed by the millennial with mommy and daddy's checkbook. Who "wants to be a pilot"
