Will Offer Tuition Reimbursement And Avenue To United Career Path Program
CommutAir has announced a partnership with ATP Flight School to provide ATP graduate flight instructors a financially subsidized path to a pilot job at fast-growing CommutAir and the opportunity to enroll in the United Career Path Program (CPP) at the time of entry into CommutAir. The Tuition Reimbursement Program allows instructors to have up to $11,000 of their flight training costs paid for by CommutAir, in exchange for agreeing to fly for CommutAir after earning the requisite number of flight hours.
The CPP provides qualified pilots with a direct path to a United Airlines' flight deck upon completing the necessary interview/testing, flight hours, and other normal requirements. The combination of the CommutAir-ATP partnership and the United CPP provides ATP students with a defined path to a long term commercial pilot career.
Joel T. Raymond, Chief Operating Officer at CommutAir, commented that, "We have always valued ATP's high quality students and instructors. With our new partnership, we look forward to welcoming even more of them by easing their financial burden, helping them gain commercial experience, and offering them the opportunity to springboard to a United career."
The Tuition Reimbursement Program with ATP is part of CommutAir's plan to address its hiring demands. These needs have developed as CommutAir executes plans to triple in size over the next 2 years through the addition of 40 Embraer ERJ145 aircraft. The ATP partnership and the United CPP build on a foundation of CommutAir's industry leading pay and benefits pilot package that includes:
- Up to $15,000 sign on bonus
- Rapid position upgrades for qualified applicants
- Top-tier pay and benefits including 401K match
- Unparalleled Commuter Policy including paid commuter hotels
