Mesa Airlines Airline Pilot Hiring Partnership
ATP graduates achieve their career goals sooner and have more choices of who to fly for. Mesa Airlines recruits commercial pilots trained by ATP and is one of ATP's 21 airline partners.
Airline Sponsored Tuition Reimbursement
The Fastest Path to United Airlines.
Mesa Airlines has selected ATP as a preferred training provider to build their pilot pipelines with the best training in the fastest time frame possible, offering Airline Career Pilot Program students airline sponsored tuition reimbursement in addition to a $22,500 sign on bonus. Airline Career Pilot Program graduates have an accelerated opportunity to also enroll in the United Airlines Career Path Program (CPP). Here’s how you can take advantage of this program:
Step 1
Airline Career Pilot Program
Graduate from the Airline Career Pilot Program with CFIs.
Step 2
Build Experience as a Flight Instructor
Become a flight instructor with ATP — guaranteed instructor job for Airline Career Pilot Program graduates, earning up to $42,000 annually with airline tuition reimbursement.
Step 3
Airline Interview & Airline Tuition Reimbursement
Between 300-500 hours total time, interview with Mesa Airlines. If you accept Mesa's offer, they make a financial contribution toward your loan payment and you make a commitment to fly for that airline. Payments are $5 per flight hour, based on how much flight time you acquire each month. If you did not finance your flight training, payments are made directly to you.
Step 4
Airline Pilot Job Placement
About two years after starting flight training, and with approximately $5,000 in airline tuition reimbursement received, you start your new hire class with Mesa Airlines. $500 monthly payments continue to supplement first-year airline pay for at least 12 months. Then up to two years or captain upgrade, whichever occurs first.
Step 5
Fly for United Airlines
As a Mesa pilot you can schedule your United interview immediately after successfully completing new hire training and United's Job Fit Assessment under the United Career Path Program. This program puts you on an accelerated path to transition directly to United with no additional evaluation or interviews required, after gaining 3,000 hours of experience flying as a Mesa pilot.
