Offered With Or Without Transport Category Rating
It's been six months since
Flight Training Services International (FTSI) took over the
Commercial Airline Pilot Training (CAPT) program from Embry
Riddle... and in that time, FTSI has worked to make the program an
industry-leading flight training organization. In fact, FTSI notes,
80 percent of CAPT cadets have been pre-hired with two of the
program's five regional airline partners before completion of
training.
Effective February 12, CAPT lowered the price of its ab-initio
program from $89,995 to $74,995 for the first 50 students that
enroll. In addition, CAPT announced two new courses:
- The Airline/Jet Transition Course is designed for the
individual who holds a Commercial Pilot Certificate with
Multi-Engine and Instrument Ratings with at least 300 hours of
flight time. The program prepares the candidate for an airline
pilot position and includes a Commercial/Multi-Engine/Instrument
review course (academics and flight) in a crew concept environment
then on through the Airline/Jet Transition course culminating with
24 hours in a Transport Category Type FTD. Cost of this course is
$24,295.
- The Transport Category Type Rating Course mirrors the Airline
Jet Transition Course with the option to add a type rating in any
of the following aircraft: CRJ, ERJ, EMB 170/190, MD-90, 717,
737NG, 757/767, 777, and the A320. Cost of this course is
$39,995.
The individuals that complete either of these courses are
eligible for employment in cooperation with CAPT's partnering
airlines at reduced experience requirements.
The CAPT Program provides a full immersion approach training
individuals with little or no previous aviation experience to the
highest standards of the commercial airline industry. CAPT uses the
latest technology to deliver airline specific training, including
in-flight video cameras, self-reflected journals, line operation
safety audits, and curriculum centered on the fundamentals of Crew
Resource Management. Upon completion of the program, graduates are
fully prepared to meet the demands of the commercial aviation
world.
