There has never been a better time to pursue an aviation career. Flight schools, corporations and the airlines all need professional pilots. There will be more pilots hired in the next five years than were hired during the last two decades. The airlines historically employed pilots trained by the military, but today most will have received their training from schools like American Flyers.

What are the credentials that the airlines are looking for? Good health, 20/20 or corrected vision, at least a two year degree, the appropriate licenses and a minimum of 1,000 hours logged as a pilot. That will get you the interview, but not the job.

Regardless of how many hours you have in your logbook, the quality of your education will be very important to your success. We've been telling pilots for nearly 70 years the value of excellent flight training and have launched more professional pilot careers than anyone in the world.

The sure track to employment is not your hours, but instead your ability to fly an airplane safely and professionally. Another super important aspect of choosing a flight school should be the amount of time it will take to complete your training for two mighty important reasons. First and foremost, the quicker you are qualified for employment the quicker you can be employed. Second, living expenses would be eight times more costly if you enrolled in a course of study requiring two years instead of the three months required by an American Flyers Eagle or Academy program.

You and up to 5 other classmates can enroll into this Accelerated Professional Pilot course and after only 4 months, hold a Commercial License with Instrument Rating and both Airplane and Instrument Instructor Certificates.

To secure your front office job in the cockpit of todays modern jet airliner you will need to gain practical experience.

Becoming a Certified Flight Instructor is the best way for you to gain experience and accumulate the hours you need to compete for the best jobs. Our Nexus graduates top the list of newly hired flight instructors at our schools throughout the country.

In addition to drawing a paycheck as a Certified Flight Instructor, you'll be a Professional Pilot and be part of the Aviation Industry flying company and customer aircraft in high density areas, gaining exactly the experience you'll need to land the job of your dreams.

American Flyers is proud to have launched more Professional Pilot careers than any other organization in the world. The quality of education and experience you receive is the foundation that will last your entire lifetime.

Nexus, Combining Licenses with Employment. . .

The Nexus Program is unique because it is a seamless connection between licensing and employment you’ll train with the same company that hires more flight instructors than anyone in the country. Think of the advantage of having the same address, work with the same people, use the same equipment - it’s sort of like one stop shopping, but you might prefer to call it: One Stop, Career Building.

The fastest track to the airlines job is not to spend a lot of money rather, earn money while you gain your experience as a teacher. It s also important to know that most airlines will also test you in a simulator to determine if you really know what you’re doing, and there is no better way to sharpen your skills than teaching others.

Regardless of flying experience, you can embark on a career path without being tied to a fixed training schedule. The Eagle Programs “ala carte” feature is perfect for those career change individuals who cannot train on a full time basis. We re open seven days per week and always have the aircraft and instructors available to meet your unique training schedule.

Whether you are a pre-solo student pilot, a Private Pilot with 200 hours or anywhere in between, we can create a program to expedite your aviation career.
