As a respected flight school with a strong reputation for pilot training excellence, we’re proud to partner with several major and regional airlines to provide our students with direct pathways to professional flying careers. Our airline partnerships include SkyWest Airlines, American Airlines, Envoy Air, PSA Airlines, Piedmont Airlines, and Mesa Airlines. These partnerships offer mentorship, financial incentives, and a seamless transition from student to airline pilot. Among them, one of our most popular and widely pursued opportunities is the Envoy Air Cadet Program, featured below.
Envoy Air’s Cadet Program is designed to streamline the transition for students—from the classroom directly to the regional airline flight deck. This program equips aspiring pilots with structured support, mentorship, and financial incentives to achieve the required experience and certifications for becoming a First Officer. And, as the largest wholly owned regional carrier of American Airlines, they offer an industry-leading flow-through to American, offering you a direct path to a rewarding career.
