The ExpressJet to JetBlue path takes a little longer than the Cape Air path, but it gives you more options.

Given the current state of XJT, this may no longer be true.

To my knowledge, no new Advanced Gateway candidates are being considered at XJT for the time being.

As far as XJT, it's a transitional time and a tough situation for those on the ASA side - many of them are understandably leaving. The overall outlook for XJT, however, is better than it was a year ago.
