NEWBURGH – Low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines, which operates flights to several destinations from New York Stewart International Airport, has begun a cadet program to train the next generation of Frontier pilots.
Systemwide, airlines are facing a pilot shortage and Frontier will operate its program in partnership with ATP Flight School, seeking up to 35 individuals per month who seek 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 with the program lasting about 24 months.
Cadets must be at least 19, willing to relocate, and clear a background check. An associate degree or higher is preferred but not required.
Participants must pass all required tests as well as obtain all necessary certifications prior to becoming a Frontier pilot.
