The folks at PanAm Int'l Flight Academy note that, "For many, a career in aviation sounds exciting, intriguing and mysterious. While it is all of those things and more, the decision to pursue a career in the industry is also expensive and time-consuming. The Academy has found that a student who has thoroughly explored their career options before choosing a flight school is more successful in their career."

In an effort to help perspective students in their search for information or to introduce the idea of turning their hobby into a career, Pan Am International Flight Academy's Career Pilot Development division is hosting a series of free seminars that will explore subjects such as:

• The state of the airline industry
• A pilot's career path (opportunities for growth)
• How to become a pilot
• History of Pan Am International Flight Academy
• Life as an airline pilot
• Description of PAIFA's CPD program and admissions procedures

Representatives at the seminars will include school counselors, administrators, placement manager and a current airline pilot who has graduated from the Academy's CPD program (subject to schedules and availability). The 2005 seminar schedule is as follows:
