Purdue Global and Southern Airways
A great match!
Purdue's program allows students to earn pilot ratings at their own pace. This works well with our accelerated path into Southern Airways. If both programs are started at the same time, completion of the Southern internship should align with the completion of the Bachelor Degree program. Approximate timeline is:
* Start Purdue Global on-line and Flight Training at JA Flight Training
* Month 12- Complete flight training and start as a paid co-pilot with Southern
* Month 24 - Move to Captain with an average salary of around $60,000.
* Month 36 - Start at Skywest Airlines as a co-pilot and complete the Purdue Global program.

A two-year commitment with Southern Airways is required and estimated pay for the two-years is $85,000 and students come out with approximately 2000 hours of flying time.
