There are two programs through Cape Air. Both require you to have a 4 year degree from an AABI accredited school (UND, ERAU, Purdue, etc). Having been a flight instructor in the 141 environment is also highly preferred if not required.
Jet time is not a concern if you go through Cape Air and qualify for the program. They care about total time and PIC which you'll get a lot of on the 402. If you do the ATR you can expect to take a lot longer to get to JetBlue. Need 3000-3500TT to apply with 2000 of which should be PIC.
