I understand lots of things going on at B6 with all the different gateway programs. I live in Orlando, so considering all options at this point.
It's a common confusion. "Gateway" only means "way to get hired at JetBlue." All pilots were hired through a gateway. Most pilots are hired through "Gateway 1" (when they used to be numbered). That word simply means that it's one of the paths to become a pilot here, not that the time requirements are necessarily reduced. Some ways are reduced (Gateway Select, University Gateway), and some aren't.
Good luck no matter which way you go.
