United Aviate’s career pathways offer pilots at all stages of their journey the most direct path to flying for United. The Aviate program also provides coaching and development for pilots to mold them into leaders who should exemplify a professionalism, level of excellence and commitment to providing safe, caring, dependable and efficient service that United expects from its pilots. Mr. Bryan Quigley, United’s Senior VP of Flight Operations added “we are excited about our partnership with PEA. The Aviate program depends on outstanding partners to train the highest quality aviators in becoming the next generation of United pilots.”
Once enrolled, some benefits candidates can expect include PEA’s professional pilot flight training, an interview with United, travel privileges, opportunity to fly with United Express partners, and the ultimate goal of transitioning to United Airlines.
