AVELO FIRST OFFICER CAREER PROGRAM

2FLY is delighted to have formed an alliance with Avelo Airlines which serves over 30 destinations across the U.S. from bases at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Burbank Airport, Southern Connecticut’s Tweed-New Haven Airport, Fort Myers’ Southwest Florida International Airport and Orlando International Airport.

The new Preferred Hiring Pathway with Avelo provides an opportunity for 2FLY graduate pilots and flight instructors who have achieved their 1,500 hour requirements to interview for a Boeing 737 First Officer position with the airline.

Completing the Avelo First Officer Program with 2FLY Airborne will guarantee an interview for a First Officer position with Avelo provided the training is completed successfully to the required standards.

The Avelo First Officer Career Program is an accelerated eight month program, taking an individual with zero experience through a course to achieve multi-engine commercial pilot and flight instructor certificates. Graduates gain additional experience as a paid 2FLY flight instructor and now, at 1,500 hours of flight time, earn the opportunity to interview as a First Officer with Avelo Airlines.

 

DELIVERED IN TWO PHASES (24 months):

PHASE ONE (8 months): is a full-time program that begins with the initial Private Pilot certification, and progresses to a Commercial Pilot with single and multi-engine instrument ratings, and finishing with a Certified Flight Instructor license. This phase encompasses all academics, simulations, and practical flying. Upon graduation, you will have logged 269 total flight and simulator hours.

PHASE TWO (16 months): after successful completion of Phase One, an interview with 2FLY will be extended for you to work as a Certified Flight Instructor. This is a full-time position and allows you to log additional flying hours you will need to be hired by an airline. During this phase, you will have the opportunity to meet pilot recruiters from our airline alliances and learn about their hiring processes.
