JetBlue Pilots
Design and digital strategy for all the ways to become a JetBlue pilot. Since its launch in 2016, the gateway programs have expanded and rebranded to include new pathways.
A Starting Point
Multiple sites, a gaggle of domain names, banner ads, and partner marketing tailored for student populations made this inspiring career path less than accessible.
Design Inspiration
The thrill of the flight deck. We sought to see the world through the eyes of the pilot.
New Branding
First, we established a the naming, brand identity, and visual hierarchy for the gateway programs.
A Flexible System
While the gateways are all part of the same family, each program has a specific audience.
When one program becomes the focus, that gateway takes on the primary lockup.
Next, we tackled the site. Design working in parallel with teams, we took to the whiteboard to figure out all the components.

Takeoff
The site launched with the announcement of Gateway Select. Day one saw tens of thousands of visitors and hundreds of applications to the new program.
