Colton Notterman
Why Colton Chose ATP: ATP's established Career Tracks™ with the airlines helped him identify a structured path toward his professional aviation goals.
Career Change
The Problem
Finding an efficient path toward the airlines
Growing up, Colton spent much of his time skiing in the Nevada mountains, where he developed “a strong appreciation for freedom and independence” while exploring nature and its beauty with his family.
Those experiences helped shape his adventurous mindset and appreciation for new challenges, qualities that would later draw him toward aviation.
He says he had “always been interested in aviation,” but that interest grew as he learned more about the industry and what it takes to become a professional pilot. As his interest became a professional goal, Colton needed a training program that could help him grow and progress efficiently toward the airlines.
