Jet Blue has launched an ab initio training program that it hopes will help to diversify its hiring pool and also give the company control over a pilot’s training from start to finish. The program is now accepting online applicants, and has set a cost of $125,000 for the four-year program. “We are currently exploring multiple options for financial assistance,” the company said, “to help alleviate monetary barriers.” The ideal applicant, the company says, would already have a college degree, but no previous flight experience is required.
