Pilot hiring continues to takeoff at Envoy, so, to meet the climbing demand, the Flight Training Department will add Professional Simulator Instructors to help expedite training the hundreds of pilots filling up Envoy classrooms.
“We’ll still rely on our existing Flight Training team and Check Airmen to maintain the highest level of safety and proficiency,” said Captain Allen Hill, Managing Director Air Operations Training. “But by augmenting our existing staff with additional experienced pilots, we’ll be able to enhance and expand our training program without having to remove active line pilots from their schedules to help train new hires. This allows Envoy to perform more flying on behalf of American and its customers.”
Envoy is fast becoming the regional airline of choice for pilots wanting a long-term career in commercial aviation. With this additional training capacity, new hires will be flying as Envoy First Officers even more quickly.
Beyond hiring more and more First Officers to Envoy, pilots within the company have been upgrading at a faster clip than previous years. This also means that more Envoy Captains are flowing to American in even bigger numbers – more than 300 pilots in 2017 to be exact.
“Boosting our hiring numbers, upgrading Captains faster and sending American our outstanding pilots in a shorter amount of time is not only good for Envoy, but good for the aviation industry as a whole,” said new Director of Pilot Recruiting Natalie Nielsen. “Bringing professional trainers to the Envoy team will greatly benefit the pilot-hiring cycle, and continue to help us grow as American’s largest regional carrier.”
