MidHudson News is reporting Frontier Airlines, which operates flights to various destinations from New York Stewart International Airport, has started a cadet program to train the next generation of Frontier pilots. Frontier will operate its program in partnership with ATP Flight School. Systemwide, the airline industry is facing a pilot shortage. Frontier is hoping to enroll up to 35 people each month to become commercial airline pilots. No prior flying experience is required, the company said from its Denver headquarters. Cadets will receive assistance in applying for financial aid to help offset training and living expenses. The program will take 24 months to complete. Cadets must be at least 19 years old, willing to relocate, and clear a background check. An associate degree or higher is preferred but not required. Participants must pass all required tests and obtain all necessary certifications before becoming a Frontier pilot. .Read the full story at MidHudsonNews [dot] com.
