Airline Career Pilot Programs Compared
Both the Airline Career Pilot Program and the 100+ Hour Multi-Engine Airline Career Pilot Program take you from zero time to a commercial multi-engine instrument-rated pilot with flight instructor certificates and fixed-cost tuition.
The difference is the multi-engine experience you graduate with. The 100+ Hour Multi-Engine Airline Career Pilot Program builds 101 hours of multi-engine flight time in the Piper Seminole and adds a Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI) certificate—giving you the competitive edge and opening the door to more career opportunities earlier in your career.
