Normally JB would be a fine choice. Right now it's a consolation prize. Not sure that I'd pay $100K to miss the opportunities at the legacies right now. Regionals pay much better than they used to. But your choice either way.

I'm not sure I follow- what do you mean where to go with 0 hours? Once you have 1000 hours in the left seat at a 121, then airlines might look at your resume. Before that, you'll need to be exceptional.

Hello everyone I was recently selected to move forward with the JetBlue gateway select program. Does anyone know any pros & cons of this program? Also, does anyone know anything about the assessment you have to take 3 weeks within receiving the offer to move forward? Thanks for any replies. I know the program is 110K, which from my position with 0 hours isn't far from any other flight schools (like ATP) where I can go from 0 hours to flying commercial airliners.

I applied a few years ago and took the assessment but did not move forward. But as someone else has said, this program takes way too long and way too expensive. If you have the means to get 110K for this, why not go to a "mom and pop" operation or some other professional pilot program (ATP is not the only one out there) and with a little hustle you can get through your CFI in about 12 months and get your minimums in another 15 months??? That Jetblue program is about 4 years, with all the movement going on that is just not the best route.

To the OP, if you want something similar check out Republic Airlines Lift Academy, same deal but for less than half the price.

Well those who are uneducated on aviation/121 life are the only ones who would pay $100k+ for such a program, so I guess JB have it all figured out!
