When you investigate flight schools or colleges with aviation programs, you will probably see or be given a list of partnerships the school has with various airlines. What are those partnerships for? What does it actually mean for a flight training program to have a partnership with an airline? Today I am here with Eric Crump of Polk State College Aerospace Program and Paul Grieco to figure all this out.
In this episode we discuss:
- The different types of partnerships and what they mean such as a marketing partnership, hiring partnership, and advisory board partnership.
- The importance of asking a flight school about their partnerships and what kind they are.
- If they have hiring partnerships, how many of their students have actually acquired jobs at that airline?
Listener Questions:
- Choosing between Part 61 or 141 training
- Benefits and challenges of airline scheduling
- Jump seat and other scheduling privileges: how often can you use them, can you bring family, etc.
- Opinions on All ATP flight schools
