Pan Am International
Flight Academy's (PAIFA) Career Pilot Development (CPD) division
has restructured its training program to minimize out-of-pocket
expenses for US military veterans. Active duty military personnel
and veterans may be reimbursed for most of their flight training
expenses through the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB). The Department of
Defense, Department of Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs have
recently signed into law a new bill which gives Reservists who were
activated after September 11, 2001 the same educational benefits.
The Academy's program is approved for VA training. Training is
conducted at the Academy's CPD campus in Phoenix, AZ.
In recognition of their service to our country, Pan Am is
including a free Air Crew Education (ACE) Course, valued at $6,120,
to all veterans who enroll into our full program; a prorated
discount will be given for those who enroll with prior flight
experience.
ACE is a
turbine-transition, airline-preparation course based on the
Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ). Completion of the ACE Course qualifies
graduates for placement into PAIFA's partner airlines with flight
times well below those set for the general public, thereby enabling
them to maximize their career earnings by obtaining an airline
pilot job much quicker.
"We have talked to numerous veterans who have been discharged,
and many who are slated to get out within the next year, and we
have found that there is significant interest in this program.
Therefore, we believe this is an excellent opportunity for us to
assist veterans with their post-military careers," said James
DeLong, Vice President of the Academy's CPD division.
He continued, "This makes becoming an airline pilot even more
affordable than before. After reimbursement from MGIB and the free
ACE course, eligible veterans will receive nearly $37,000 in
savings."
