Gateway programs
 
Hey has anyone been thru, used, known any information, or known a person that has used a gateway program to become an FO for JB? I’m a student at a college with my pp w/instrument rating trying to look into the not-so-distant future options I have.
Thanks!!

There’s plenty of cape air and ERAU guys here now. None of the zero to hero guys are online yet.

Jmo but there’s much better options out there than the complete pilot program that JetBlue is offering. Again jmo but it’s a gamble with a large sum of cash.

I've already graduated so i am not in your exact situation, however I'll be starting at Republic's LIFT Academy in November. It may be worth inquiring as i know they work with Vincennes University and are half the cost of JetBlue's program.

But where would you get a job at republic? Isn’t united doing a gig now? That would be the place to go

I'm going thru the process now, all that's left is the in-person interview. I know someone who got in. What would you like to know specifically?

What are you going to tell people when they ask where you worked before? I don’t feel like baby sitting a brand new to the airlines/flying first officer.

That require’s a 5 year commitment to RAH - or so I’m told.

IMHO would be a better move to get into UAL’s or our program and avoid the regionals altogether.
