For individuals who are interested
in a career as a professional pilot, langaAir has developed
a structured step-by-step approach to accomplish that goal.
As you may already know, there
are basic ratings or licenses that must be held in order to
fly professionally. Once the basic, professional flight school
training is completed and the ratings are awarded, the pilot
will then be concerned with building flight experience, which
is measured in flight hours. Airlines, cargo operators, charter
operations, and corporate flight departments will normally consider
candidates who posses a minimal amount of flight time for employment.
Since most individuals fall short of the "employable level"
of flight experience immediately after completing their initial
flight school training, the next step is to find an economical
means of building flight time experience. Through langaAir's
flight instructor internship phase, you will gain the valuable
flight time needed to move to your next career step.
Further, most employers in this
industry prefer pilots who have some college. Through our affiliation
with a local college,
you will receive college credit for every course completed at
no additional charge - this may be the most cost effective,
best valued pilot degree program in the country.
For those interested in a career
with the airlines, langaAir has established a relationship with
GoJet
Airlines. While an instructor with langaAir, you will be
eligible for advanced training including Crew Resource Management,
CRJ 700 systems training, GoJet operations training, etc. GoJet
provides preferential hiring to langaAir's graduates over other
applicants at a reduced minimum flight experience level.
