“As a Southwest Airlines alum, this partnership has an\nentirely different meaning\u2014it’s certainly a full circle moment for me. The\nprogram catalyzes a new pilot’s aviation career, offering them mentorship,\ntraining, and the opportunity to build the needed hours. This partnership is a\ntestament to our shared vision of culture and innovation” says Chief\nExecutive Officer, Curtis Edenfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Destination 225\u00c2\u00b0 Pilot Pathways Program paves the way\nfor those launching their dream of an aviation career and gets them started on\nthe right foot. Cadets undergo a two-step process; the first phase is\ncompleting various courses and flight training requirements. From there, cadets\nearn their first few hours of single and multi-engine aircraft and simulator\ntraining. Once achieved, cadets receive their commercial pilot’s license. The\nprogram’s second phase includes cadets becoming certified flight instructors,\nearning additional hours, and qualifying them to apply for the program’s\nvarious partners until they’re competitively qualified for an opportunity to\njoin the Southwest crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
