Better plan:

Go find a job at the airport near ERAU or back home that flies Part 135 pistons or turbos. Get a line job with them and then see about flight positions when you get your multi commercial ticket. VPJ out of EVB does that a lot.

Crank out some hours, get your CFI still, and by the time you graduate you will have over 1000 hours. Then re-evaluate where you want to be in this industry and make your decisions from there.

Cape Air time is going to be worthless imo. You are going to spend approx 4 years after graduation before getting into JBLU.

If you spend that 4 years at a regional, you will have Turbine PIC to take to an interview; which I think is much more desirable.

Also, the program says you are eligible for an interview with JBLU - no guarantee of hiring or even the interview itself.

But the entire industry is one big risk. You need to get information and decide on your own, you cant expect people's "advice" here to decide for you.


Or you can forget everything I said and keep your fingers crossed about future Spirit hiring from ERAU.

On a side note, since when is 3.0 GPA something to brag about?
