American Airlines and Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology announce a new partnership to expand the American Airlines Cadet Academy<\/a> for aspiring pilots. Spartan, based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is the Cadet Academy\u2019s first collegiate partner offering an Associate of Applied Science degree in Aviation Flight and increases its training network to five locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe American Airlines Cadet Academy is designed to address\nall of the obstacles associated with a traditional flight training path,\u201d said\nChristina Flores, Managing Director of Aviation Recruiting and Programs at\nAmerican Airlines. \u201cWe are thrilled to offer a new pathway which includes\nbuilding flight time while working towards a college degree with the support of\nmentorship and financial aid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this new partnership with Spartan College<\/a>, American Airlines cadets have an opportunity to earn their FAA certificates and ratings, as well as their Associate of Applied Science degree. The Aviation Flight program at Spartan College can be completed in as few as 17 months with reduced ATP hours, housing options, and financial aid for those who qualify. Certified Flight Instructors may also continue their education to earn a Bachelor of Science in Technology Management degree from Spartan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSpartan is well known for providing broad access to\naspiring pilots from all backgrounds and for the high standards of our flight\ntraining,\u201d said Rob Polston, Chief Executive Officer at Spartan College. \u201cWe\nare committed to working with American Airlines to train a pipeline of new\npilots to meet their needs for years to come. We are honored to partner with\none of the world\u2019s leading airlines and train the next generation of pilots in\ntheir innovative Cadet Academy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its launch in 2018, nearly 700 cadets have entered the\nCadet Academy, and more than 100 have already graduated with the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American Airlines Cadet Academy has a unique financial\npartnership dedicated to supporting cadets entering the program. The goal is to\neliminate the financial barriers prospective pilots face and support the growth\nof the pilot population while creating greater diversity among future and\ncurrent pilot ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students enrolled in the Cadet Academy will be paired with\nan American Airlines pilot mentor to guide them through the journey. Qualifying\ncadets also have access to American Airlines Federal Credit Union\u2019s Cadet Loan\nProgram for financial assistance in covering the cost of training. Upon\ncompletion of the required flight hours, American\u2019s three wholly owned regional\ncarriers (Envoy, Piedmont, and PSA) will offer graduates an interview. If hired\nby one of these regional airlines, cadets are well on their way to working at\nAmerican Airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
