Your Path To The Airlines

Step 1: Earn Your Private Pilot Certificate

Your journey begins with obtaining your Private Pilot Certificate, issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This stage builds the foundation for your aviation career, teaching you the fundamentals of flying a single-engine airplane.

Step 2: Obtain an Instrument Rating

This is the natural next step for most pilots. An Instrument Rating (IR) allows you to fly in various weather conditions under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). This step enhances your ability to operate in real-world airline conditions.

Step 3: Commercial Pilot Certificate

To get paid to fly, you’ll need a Commercial Pilot Certificate. At this stage, you’ll refine your skills, meet FAA experience requirements, and demonstrate advanced piloting abilities. At this stage, you have what most people consider the “basics” to making it to the airlines. The next two steps are different.

Step 4: Optional Flight Instructor (CFI)

You need to accumulate flight hours. One of the most common and effective ways to do this is by becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). This allows you to earn income while gaining valuable flight experience. While becoming a CFI isn’t mandatory, it’s a great way to accelerate your progress and get paid while you train.

Step 5: Add a Multi-Engine Rating

Most airline jobs require experience flying multi-engine aircraft. Our Multi-Engine Rating program ensures you meet these requirements, preparing you for larger and more complex aircraft. We can help you with this as well, reach out to us if you need assistance.

Step 6: Build Experience

As you gain flight hours through instruction and other opportunities, you’ll prepare for airline interviews. Many regional airlines conduct technical and HR interviews between 500-1,500 flight hours, offering conditional job offers to qualified pilots.

Step 7: Get Hired by an Airline

Once you’ve met the 1,500-hour Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) requirement, you’re eligible for commercial airline positions. Through our partnerships and career placement services, we help you connect with major airlines and land your dream job.
