"We are thrilled to launch the Accelerate Pilot Pathway program and partner with universities across the country. This program provides an excellent opportunity for talented and motivated students to pursue their dream of becoming a first officer with a major airline without the need to fly for a regional carrier. We look forward to welcoming our future first officers and supporting them through their training and career with Allegiant."
