Group Of 17 Selected
Mesaba Airlines
(Northwest Airlink) has hired 17 graduates of Pan Am International
Flight Academy's Career Pilot training program, bringing the number
of graduates recently hired by Mesaba to 20. Since the beginning of
2004, the airlines have hired 30 Academy graduates.
The Academy's Career Pilot campuses are located in Phoenix (AZ)
and Ft. Pierce (FL) -- each of which houses a CRJ FTD constructed
to Level 5 standards, and are exact replicas of the interior of the
CRJ aircraft. Each FTD is equipped with a 3-channel, wrap-around
projection visual system, which provide day, dusk and nighttime
scenarios and detailed visual representations of numerous U.S.
airports. Their navigational databases encompass the entire
continental U.S.
"The ACE course and
FTDs enable us to accomplish our primary training objective, which
is to familiarize students with a glass cockpit environment so that
they can effectively function as crewmembers in modern jet
aircraft. This is exactly what our Regional Airline customers like
Mesaba have been asking for - students who have experience with
advanced technology like that which they will encounter in a jet
aircraft," said Chuck Glass, Vice President and Executive Director
of PAIFA's Career Pilot division."
The Academy operates additional training facilities in Miami,
Orlando, Fort Pierce and Vero Beach (FL); Cincinnati (OH); Memphis
(TN); Dulles (VA); St. Louis (MO); Minneapolis (MN); Phoenix and
Scottsdale (AZ); Beaver Falls (PA); and Livermore (CA).
