We’re excited to announce our 2016 Airline Pilot Pathway Program (AP3) Summer Camp. The camp is an extension of our commitment of educating, engaging and empowering future aviators across the country. This enrichment camp offers attendees an opportunity to expand their horizons and embark on a new adventure that will challenge and enlighten them both personally and professionally.
What is the Airline Pilot Pathway Program?
The Airline Pilot Pathway Program, AP3, is a partnership between ExpressJet, select flight schools and universities, and students in the program. At its core, AP3 is a mentorship-based educational program that gives students a highly structured path through school, building hours as a CFI, to a career at ExpressJet.
What is AP3 Camp?
Tailored to senior level aviation students and/or certified flight instructors, AP3 Camp provides an opportunity for student pilots to explore, grow, develop new skills and form lasting relationships in a friendly, career-focused environment. This all-inclusive experience will be offered to 48 students each year, chosen by ExpressJet leaders based on individual applications.
