One of the biggest aviation universities in the country, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, has teamed up with a major regional airline, American Eagle Airlines, on a program that provides a pathway for students to transition from the school into first officer positions at the airline.
The American Eagle Airlines Pilot Pipeline Program will offer select Embry-Riddle students at the sophomore level or higher training, employment and a $10,000 scholarship in exchange for a two-year commitment to the program, the university announced.
