Amerijet Opens Pathway Program with Embry-Riddle

Cadet Pipeline Offers Another Route to the Right Seat for ERAU Students

Amerijet International Airlines is the newest carrier to be added to the roster of Pilot Pathway Programs at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

The school is the first university to sign such an agreement with Amerijet. Like similar programs from other carriers, Amerijet will "recruit and provide mentoring and coaching to sophomores, juniors and seniors who are enrolled in the Aeronautical Science degree program", with preferential treatment in training and hiring once graduates complete 3 semesters as full-time CFI's at the school.

On its face, the program may offer just a little bit more than the usual "pathway program", which can offer everything from 'guaranteed' hiring interviews all the way to firm, conditional employment. Amerijet employs almost 300 pilots in all, and just like the rest of the industry, they're looking to replenish their numbers on the precipice of a long-foreseen 'pilot shortage'.

“Amerijet International Airlines is thrilled to sign our first Pilot Pathway Program with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University,” said Craig Bentley, chief operating officer at Amerijet. “Embry-Riddle is the leader in aviation education, and the graduates who join our airline will have the knowledge and experiential learning that prepares them to be valuable crew members in our airline.”

“One of Embry-Riddle’s most important objectives is to lead graduates into meaningful, well-paying jobs,” said Alan Stolzer, dean of the College of Aviation at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach Campus. “At the same time, we aim to collaborate with the industry by preparing exceptionally skilled aviators. This agreement with Amerijet will benefit our graduates and the aviation industry.”

“As we look toward the future,” said Colin Salmon, Amerijet’s talent acquisition manager, “we see true value in partnering with institutions such as Embry-Riddle, whose tenets and goals align with ours. This promises to be a synergistic relationship that will position both parties nicely by affording opportunities and realizing dreams.”
