ATP Flight School and United Airlines have partnered to provide aspiring airline pilots with outstanding training and a direct route to a United flight deck. United and ATP's Aviate partnership is an innovative career development program that combines ATP's accelerated fixed-cost pilot training with defined milestones to advance pilots toward a rewarding career with United.
Students in ATP's Airline Career Pilot Program earn pilot certification in just nine months and can apply to United Aviate early during their training. After graduating, participants in Aviate take advantage of ATP's guaranteed flight instructor job, allowing them to build flight experience and progress toward United. Once meeting the flight hour requirements, pilots first fly for a United Express carrier. Then, after satisfying Aviate program requirements, they are eligible to transition to United Airlines as a First Officer without any additional interviewing required.
