If you do the math, this plan doesnt make any sense.

1500 hours instructing at riddle? that will take what.... about 25 months?! Guys at riddle are getting hired into regionals at 500 TT and 4 months of instructing. If you want to stick around and instruct for another 2 years knock yourself out.

Oh but wait, after wasting an extra year instructing, you get to go to Cape Air for 2500 hours of flying. Thats a good lock of what... 2.5 years if you fly your brains out. 3 years most likely. All of this for an interview at JB? Why would you do that to yourself.

It is no offense to JB, but in the time it takes to do this whole plan, you could opt out of flight instructing after a few months, go to a regional for 2 years, upgrade, and go to a major and skip the whole jail lock plan. Everyone at JetBlue seems to keep saying JB is just a stepping stone to a major anyway....

Why do more crappy flying, and take more time to get what you really want?

That whole plan looks bogus to me. But hey, im nuts.
