Aspiring pilots pursuing an airline career now have additional financial incentives to follow their dreams, thanks to a new tuition reimbursement program offered in partnership by ATP Flight School and GoJet Airlines.
The program, unveiled last week, will provide up-front financial assistance to ATP pilots in exchange for a commitment to fly with the regional airliner after they acquire their requisite 1,500 flight hours. ATP pilots are eligible for a guaranteed interview with the airline once they’ve completed 300 flight hours, and the tuition reimbursement program will start paying dividends beginning at 500 hours by paying $5 per flight hour to cover student loans. Once pilots begin flying for GoJet, they will receive $500 per month of tuition reimbursement during their first year of service.
