Middle Georgia State University (MGA) and United’s Aviate program announce a new partnership to provide a career pathway for MGA pilots.
The pathway program will be provided through United Aviate, established by United Airlines in 2019 to support the airline’s pipeline of highly qualified pilots. As an Aviate university partner, MGA’s School of Aviation will give flight students and instructors an opportunity to apply to the Aviate program and follow a defined pathway to a career at United. Aviate is United’s industry-leading pilot career development program, offering aspiring and established pilots the most secure path to the United flight deck.
“We are proud to welcome MGA to the Aviate program, as their longstanding history of attracting and developing skilled aviators incorporates well into our pilot recruitment strategy,” said Capt. Mike Bonner, managing director of Aviate & Pilot Strategy. “Former, current, and future MGA aviation students and instructors will benefit from this partnership in their journeys to becoming professional pilots.”
