What does the Initial Pilot Training Program (IPTP) consist of?
Initial pilot training is conducted in Columbus, Ohio. Training is scheduled for up to six weeks and consists of ground school and final exam, simulator training, aircraft training (typically conducted in a BE-58), final flight test and then any required transition training in other a/c types. Once pilots are awarded a base, line training is completed on the actual run. AirNet Express provides upscale, fully furnished housing including utensils, weekly cleaning, towels/linens and crew cars. Basically, pilots need only bring their clothes and flight training gear. Dress is casual. Pay during training is $165.00 per week per diem. Upon successful completion of the initial flight test, pilots move to the full-time pay scale and seniority list.
