Key Takeaways:
Frontier Airlines and the University of North Dakota (UND) have launched a new career pathway partnership program.
The program offers UND students a streamlined route to become Frontier first officers on their Airbus fleet, allowing direct entry after successful interview and meeting flight hour requirements by serving as certified flight instructors at UND.
A unique aspect allows selected students with 1,000 flight hours to go directly to Frontier for training, bypassing regional carriers, with some returning to UND as advanced flight instructors.
Frontier will also provide advanced training and type ratings for UND faculty and staff, enhancing their proficiency and aligning university instruction with airline new-hire training.
