Details on JetBlue's ab initio program
From JetBlue yesterday. Here is the direct link to the zero time to right seat program (Cost to pilot is $125,000): Gateway Select ? JetBlue Pilot Gateway Programs
Media coverage: JetBlue Shakes Up Pilot Hiring by Training Them From Scratch - Bloomberg Business Ladies and Gentlemen, Today, I’m pleased to share that JetBlue’s innovative and accessible pilot training program, Gateway Select, has launched to the public. We first shared our plans with you in September 2015 – when the program was still under development, and called Gateway 7. Since that time, the program team has continued its excellent work and JetBlue is proud to commence with the 2016 application process. This competency-based training program for prospective pilots reflects ideology and programs that are in use within the U.S. military and among leading international airlines. CAE will be our partner in Gateway Select, helping to develop and deliver the training curriculum. After successful completion of the program, including the FAA's 1,500 flight-hour requirement, pilots will become a new hire E190 FO at JetBlue. I know that many of you expressed interest in sharing the details of this program with others, be it family members or friends, and I think you’ll find robust information on our new JetBlue Pilot Gateway Programs website, Squarespace - Claim This Domain. You’ll find details on the program, how to apply and FAQs on the various facets of application, process and program requirements. The new website also holds information on JetBlue’s five other Pilot Gateway Programs. I encourage you to learn about each and share this information with aspiring pilots in your life. |
Thinking of applying
Just to see if I am qualified to train for the job I have been doing for the last 30 years |
Innovative?!! Jesus.

Just read the details of Gateway Select. I could be reading the wrong program, but Gateway Select sounds no bueno. 125,000 to the pilot, repaid over a course of 15 months? That's 8300 per month!
|
Is it me or does this sound like bad news for the open market for pilot wages?

Why would someone pay $125k for this when they could go to ATP for 6 months for $65k?

I'm sure it's longer because that's still 2800 a month. |

I'm sure it's longer because that's still 2800 a month. The cost of Gateway Select is approximately $125,000, payable in installments over the course of roughly 15 months. We are currently exploring multiple options for financial assistance to help alleviate monetary barriers to this program. Check back in the near future for more details." |
