In Full Zoom: United Airlines’ Aviate Academy

Nestor LIcanto learns all about the United Airlines Aviate Academy, the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary that trains pilots for a professional career in commercial aviation. The airline has plans to hire more than 10,000 pilots in the next decade, so this is a huge opportunity for their line of work. Nestor talks with captains Curtis Brunjes and Pierre Frenay about the innovative program.

No 4 year degree requirement to start, but you still need a 4 year degree to be hired at United. Keep that in mind...
