NMC aviation students will get a guaranteed job interview with American Eagle and a $10,000 signing bonus upon hire under a pipeline agreement the airline and NMC are scheduled to sign on campus on Thursday, March 6.<\/p>\n

Under the terms, NMC students may participate in a first interview with American Eagle, a regional carrier based in Fort Worth, Texas, as early as their second year. Upon completion of both a bachelor\u2019s degree with Davenport University and 1,000 hours as a certified flight instructor, the student will receive an offer of employment and a $10,000 signing bonus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re really looking for the top professional aviators,\u201d said Richard King, manager of pilot recruitment at American Eagle. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot more to being an airline pilot than having the license.\u201d<\/p>\n

King visited NMC, inspecting everything from the syllabus to the aircraft fleet. He said the Aviation division\u2019s focus on safety, professionalism and customer service is what the airline seeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter getting to know their operations, we felt very confident in their level of training,\u201d King said. \u201cWe offer the financial incentive because we\u2019ve been able to show that pilots coming out of college aviation programs have a much higher success rate in our initial training than those without.\u201d<\/p>\n

NMC Director of Aviation Aaron Cook said the agreement is another asset to offer prospective students.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor our students to have a clear pathway to employment is important,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity for the students to start earlier in their job hunt.\u201d<\/p>\n

NMC aviation students typically graduate in two years with 250 hours of flight time. Then it takes about 18 months to accrue the required 750 additional hours as a flight instructor, which a student can do while completing a bachelor\u2019s.<\/p>\n

After four years, whereas a student in a traditional bachelor\u2019s program would just be beginning their flight instructor hours, an NMC student has the hours needed to get a job\u2014and now, a route to one.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur students are a couple years ahead of the game,\u201d Cook said.<\/p>\n

In addition to traditional, fixed-wing instruction, NMC Aviation also offers training in unmanned aerial vehicles and rotor wing (helicopters). Learn more at\u00a0www.nmc.edu\/aviation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
