No one denies the cost of learning to fly is high, even exorbitant to some. That’s why every opportunity for some additional financial support a new pilot can find is worthy of a closer look. The latest opportunity to feed your flight training bank account comes from the Regional Airline Association (RAA), the trade group representing the nation’s second-tier air carriers, such as SkyWest, Cape Air, Air Wisconsin, Envoy, Piedmont and dozens of others. According to the RAA, “US regional airlines operate 41 percent of scheduled passenger flights and provide the only source of scheduled air service to nearly two-thirds of the nation’s airports,” making this association a valuable resource.
