Airborne-Flight Training 12.28.23: Elixir 4 Airbus, SWA Joins Thrive, Aerobility

Also: VelocityOne Flightdeck, StandardAero AMTs, Air Inuit Pilots, CAE-Riyadh Air 

Elixir Aircraft sold a handful of brand-new 4th generation Part 23 aircraft to Airbus Flight Academy Europe, highlighting their approved all-glass cockpit. 

The new EASA-certified flight deck layout allows the French concern to offer customers an affordable, but still sufficiently future-forward product for the training market. Thrive Aviation announced a new partnership with Southwest Airlines, allowing graduates to head into the carrier's Destination 225° Pilot Pathways Program. The program works in the usual cadet program manner, with students working their way through their ratings, instructing, and time building in order to become a SWA FO in "as little as four years." Aerobility’s Chief Flying Instructor Mike Owen is leaving the game, stepping out of his role after "more than 15 years helping thousands of disabled people to experience piloting an aircraft." The 65-year-old Owen has enjoyed his time with the charity, first starting in May 2008 as the team's first full-timer. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
