Expressjet Airlines Forms Pilot Recruiting Alliance With FlightSafety Academy

Airlines Are Energizing The Pilot Recruitment Process

ExpressJet Airlines has formed an alliance with the FlightSafety Academy in Vero Beach, Florida. An agreement has been signed by the Vice President of Operations for ExpressJet that clearly defines the qualifications expected of its successful pilot applicants. The document endorsed by both parties indicates the confidence of ExpressJet in the quality of the Academy’s training procedures.

The alliance creates a well-defined preparation path through the FlightSafety Academy, for the professional-to-be, with respect to the logbook time, and academic, simulator and in-flight training. The training steps necessary to be competitive towards an offer of employment from ExpressJet is called the Direct Track Program.

The Academy’s advanced full flight simulators are an important part of the ExpressJet Direct Track program. The ERJ-145 FAA Level “D” simulator on the campus provides an opportunity for the trainee to prepare for a first officer position on the exact duplicate of the airline’s aircraft.

The FlightSafety Academy’s Direct Track Program for ExpressJet anticipates a consistent need on the part of the airline for well prepared pilot candidates. The agreement with the airline recognizes the quality of the Academy’s training programs. It validates the training program as providing a suitable preparation for pilot recruitment. With the clarity of the program’s training phases at the Academy, and its step-by-step goals, the qualified applicant can work with confidence to successfully complete the Direct Track program.

The FlightSafety Academy has been preparing pilots for professional flying careers for nearly 40 years. The Academy’s campus at Vero Beach Airport encompasses student and academic facilities and includes one of the largest fleet of training aircraft in the United States. The Academy is the only initial training establishment to include FAA- close approved Level “D” full flight simulators in its facilities, along with a wide range of advanced training devices. The Academy’s fleet includes two aerobatic trainers for upset and disorientation training.
