The Problem

Wondering what it would be like behind the controls

Prior to beginning her pilot journey, Hollyn built a career as a flight attendant, starting in 2019. She quickly fell in love with the job, enjoying the opportunity to travel the world and experience the aviation industry firsthand. However, she often found herself wondering what it would be like to be at the controls of the aircraft rather than in the cabin.

Much of that curiosity was inspired by her late father. Although he was never a pilot himself, he was deeply passionate about aviation. His enthusiasm left a lasting impression on Hollyn that played a significant role in her decision to pursue a career as a pilot.

Once she decided to make the transition from the cabin to the flight deck, Hollyn needed a training program with the structure and resources to help her reach that goal efficiently and successfully.
