ATP Flight Schools and CommuteAir have partnered to provide students a new path to the friendly skies – By applying to our lottery with an essay, we’ve selected our first class of ATP students to receive up to $20,000 in tuition reimbursement assistance!

Peter is our first ATP student to complete the Tuition Reimbursement Program and transition to CommuteAir as a First Officer – We’re looking forward to seeing his fellow alumni join him in the field!

“I originally graduated college with a business degree but decided to follow in my father’s footsteps and become a United pilot. I chose CommuteAir because it’s a sizeable airline and has a community-focused culture!”

“I got into aviation because I was in a career that didn’t require much critical thinking and being a pilot is the exact opposite…plus it’s really fun!  I chose CommuteAir because I was really sold on the people and the culture, it’s different from a lot of regionals out there.”

“I chose flying because I wanted a career that was both skillful and fun, and didn’t want to be in the same place behind a desk every day.  My mentor is a United pilot and really sold me on the fact that CommuteAir was the right regional choice – he said it was the most fun flying he had ever done in his career!”

“I got into flying when I was a little kid – I started with my dad when I was just five years old!  I chose CommuteAir because of all the airlines I’ve spoken with, CommuteAir is one giant family. The culture, people and training are amazing!”

“After doing some research, I chose CommuteAir because they’re reliable, consistent, and care about professionalism.  Everyone I’ve talked to says the same thing, CommuteAir is a good airline to work for and they provide great training.”

“I picked aviation as a career because I knew I wanted three things: To travel, to not work behind a desk, and to have new challenges each day.  I joined CommuteAir because some of my closest friends work for the airline and they have nothing but great things to say about it.  The focus on people and the products they produce is something I want to be a part of.”

“Aviation runs deep in my family – My father, uncle, and grandfather were all United pilots and I want to do the same.

I chose CommuteAir because I felt the most comfortable and the opportunity offered through the Aviate program was great for me.”

“I got into aviation with my dad – he took me to an airshow and I really just fell in love with the sights and sounds of the whole thing.

I worked alongside United before becoming a pilot, and CommuteAir’s tight partnership with UA convinced me that this is where I want to fly!”

“I chose aviation at a young age – My mother worked at United growing up, and I got the chance to have experiences like “Take Your Kid to Work Day” at the airport.

CommuteAir caught my eye early on while I was working as a United Flight Attendant, and I’m looking forward to fly with them as a pilot!”

“My dad was an inspiration early on, and during college, I wanted a career that offered something a little more exciting…so I chose flying!

I chose to go with CommuteAir because of their efficient training program, but also because of their professionalism.”
