Envoy Air Cadet Program Become An American Airlines Pilot

Envoy Air Cadet Program How to Participate

The Fastest Path to an American Airlines Career.

Envoy Air has selected ATP as a preferred flight training provider and Airline Career Pilot Program graduates have the most efficient path to an American Airlines career. ATP's proven training takes you from zero experience to the American Eagle airline in about two years, allowing you to then flow-through to an American Airlines pilot career in just over 5 years. Here are the steps you take to participate in the American Airlines program offered by ATP and Envoy Air.

1. Step 1

   Graduate the Airline Career Pilot Program

   Attend ATP Flight School and graduate from the Airline Career Pilot Program with Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) certificates. Train in Dallas, home to the American Airlines training center, or at any of ATP's nationwide locations.

2. Step 2

   Gain Experience as a Flight Instructor

   Next, begin working as a flight instructor with ATP to gain experience. Successful ATP Graduates are guaranteed a CFI position with ATP.

3. Step 3

   Enroll in the Envoy Cadet Program

   Complete your first and last airline pilot interview with Envoy to join the Cadet Program (no future interviews will be required at Envoy or American). Participation in the Cadet Program makes you an Envoy Air employee, allowing you to enjoy health and travel benefits from the airline while you instruct and gain flight experience. Once you reach 500 hours, earn $500 in financial assistance for every 100 hours of flight time, up to $5,000. Payments are made until you reach Airline Transport Pilot certification minimum requirements (1,500 hours).

4. Step 4

   Begin Flying as an American Eagle Airline Pilot

   After you reach 1,500 hours of total flight time, you will attend the ATP CTP course paid for by Envoy Air (valued at $5,000). Once complete, you’ll be scheduled for the next available new hire class at Envoy. An additional signing bonus of $17,100 (less the amount received in financial assistance) will be paid on the first day of your new-hire Envoy Air First Officer class.

5. Step 5

   Flow-Through to American Airlines

   

   Finally, you will have the option to take advantage of a flow-through agreement between American Airlines and Envoy, allowing you to fly for the major airline after just over five years at Envoy, with no additional interview required. Learn more about how to become an American Airlines pilot »
