San Diego Flight Training International (SDFTI) announced today
that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Mesa Airlines
(NASDAQ: MESA) that will guarantee interviews to recommended SDFTI
pilot instructors.
"The demand for commercial pilots is outpacing the training
pipeline," said Phil Thalheimer, president of SDFTI. "This partnership
is an important development because it builds a powerful combination
-- training with career opportunities."
SDFTI is one of only six flight training organizations nationwide
to be given this opportunity. With this agreement in place, select
pilots at SDFTI will move to the head of the line at Mesa when it
comes to securing a job interview.
With a fleet of 198 aircraft, Mesa is a major player in the
regional airline class of flight operations, flying 1,200 daily system
departures to 170 cities, 46 states, the District of Columbia, Canada
and Mexico. Mesa operates as US Airways Express, Delta Connection, and
United Express under contractual agreement with US Airways, Delta Air
Lines and United Airlines. Mesa also acts independently as Mesa
Airlines and "go!" which services the Hawaiian Islands.
"Pairing our training expertise with Mesa will create new
opportunities for our students," added Thalheimer. "We are
particularly proud to have had Mesa come to us after evaluating our
training program, fleet quality and safety record."
SDFTI was noted for several outstanding attributes making it a
top-tier training facility:
-- Having all owner-operated and maintained aircraft
-- An FAA approved "Simulator" or advanced flight training device
-- A perfect safety record for its entire 18 year history
-- An FAA "airman certification representative" status (held by
less than one percent of flight schools worldwide)
The demand for qualified commercial pilots continues to grow as
regional airlines expand routes and aircraft. Industry analysts
estimate that 10,000 pilots will be hired in 2007.
"This collaboration is another example of how San Diego Flight
Training continues to provide superior job and training opportunities
for people looking at a career in aviation," said Thalheimer. "We do
more than provide pilots; our training operation creates professional
aviators."
