Part 135 time
So My goal is to eventually get to Jetblue I’m currently at a regional in which the quality of life is subpar to say the least. I’ve been trying to gut it out but it is just horrible. My question is if I jump ship and build the rest of my time in a part 135 how much harder is it to get picked up by Jetblue or any other major. I’ve heard they heavily prefer part 121 time.

JetBlue hires from a very wide variety of aviation backgrounds. Build time, be a captain, show leadership. That’s it, probably some luck too.

just to add on here-
do what is best for you and your family—just keep flying. We hire people from a wide range of backgrounds— from PC-12 drivers to A380 pilots.
the overarching rule is don’t be a dick.
