Spirit Airlines and Wayman Aviation Academy have come together to offer a unique Spirit Wings Pilot Pathway program to provide graduates with easily accessible, local mentorship with Spirit Airlines pilots along with giving an opportunity as First Officer with Spirit Airlines.
“Our partnership with Spirit through its Spirit Wings Pilot Pathway program highlights the level of trust airlines are placing in Wayman Aviation’s rigorous training standards,” said Eduardo Luy, vice president, Wayman Aviation.
Wayman Aviation trains future pilots using Competency Based Training & Assessment (CBTA), a superior standard of flight training recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Apart from this, the academy also provides Wayman’s R-ATP certification, an associate’s degree in aviation sciences.
“As innovators at one of the best aviation colleges in the state, we have adopted a process called competency-based training which allows our students to be much more advanced in the principles of aviation safety at the early stages of their career compared to students from traditional flight schools,” said Tony Shen, president, Wayman Aviation.
