Pilot Placement
Placing Students and Flight Instructors at an Airline
At Aerosim Flight Academy, we’re passionate about helping our students learn how to fly, and we focus on achieving two main goals:
• Training students how to be the most knowledgeable, safe and sought-after pilots in the aviation industry.
• Helping Aerosim students and flight instructors achieve their dreams by placing them with an airline.
Our Regional Airline Partners
The Academy has partnership agreements with several regional airlines, including American Eagle, Compass, GoJet, Trans State and more. These airlines are so confident in the training provided at Aerosim Flight Academy that they offer conditional job offers to students who qualify BEFORE they even graduate from flight training.
In the past 5 years, we have successfully placed more than 275 flight instructors at 29 different airlines. (See chart below).

Hear What Aerosim Alumni Have to Say
“The transition from being a flight student to an instructor then an airline pilot was smooth and effortless. The way the curriculum is set up, there are no big surprises when you reach the airlines, so the airline training is rather easy.” − Captain Dipesh Patel, (Atlantic Southeast Airlines)
“I have no doubt the airline simulated atmosphere Aerosim Flight Academy provides is the reason why I was successful during my airline interview, and have been successful during 121 training. I have seen first-hand the many similarities in how Aerosim’s structured training is similar to the airlines.” − Terrance O. Smith, First Officer (SureJet Airlines)
“During the hiring process, I felt much more prepared than pilots coming in with more flight hours than me. I can only think that was due to the experience I gained at Aerosim Flight Academy.” − Jorge A. Martinez, First Officer (LAN Airlines)
