I could not speak more highly of my experience at Inflight Pilot Training. I spent about 3 years receiving training for my Instrument, Commercial and CFI ratings and working as an instructor. I completed my private license with another competitor in the Twin Cities, and the reason I left to go to Inflight was because I needed a program that took my needs seriously, had a diverse bunch of training aircraft, instructor availability, and a range of teaching styles/ personalities to make sure I was flying with someone who met the needs of my learning style. I looked forward to each lesson because inflight had all this and more. I really enjoyed my time as a student and CFI there. You are in such great company with all the staff and students at Inflight. They will match your desire to learn at any pace you’re willing to work at. It’s a company I’ve watched grow and am proud to have started my dream there.

I came to Inflight in 2017 as a private pilot with my sights set on flying jets for the airlines. I chose Inflight primarily for the culture of excellence and professionalism. The large fleet and flexible scheduling allowed me to continue to work as I earned my ratings which was very important to me and helped me avoid going into debt. After obtaining my commercial and flight instructor certificates, I was hired as a flight instructor at Inflight. I left a little over 2 years later for my first job flying jets. By that time, I had accumulated more than 2,000 hours of flight time and made friends and memories that will last me my entire life. I now fly for a regional airline and have my sights set on the majors.

I stumbled upon Inflight when things with my freelance instructor fell through. This ended up being one of the best things to happen to me in my aviation career. Because I was going to school and working full time it took me longer than others to complete my initial professional pilot training from Private Pilot to Airline Transport Pilot. I enjoyed every second of my training and time at Inflight. They also pointed me in the direction of an online college to attend year round in order for me to receive my Bachelor’s of Science in Aviation Degree. During those years with the help of Inflight, I had the pleasure of being a student, an instructor and a friend. Thanks to them I now have the pleasure of flying a Boeing 737 for a Minnesota based airline.

I chose to do my training with Inflight for many reasons. The biggest reason of them all was the quality of flight training I received. Everything about Inflight seemed right for me: the friendly people, the aircraft, the energy, the structure of the courses; all of it felt like home. My private pilot training started in May of 2016 and took 8 months to complete due to my limited budget of both time and money. I was working full time and pursuing my bachelor’s degree while flight training. I wasted no time jumping into the rest of my training. To become a flight instructor took me 2 years in total. Inflight made it all possible by offering competitive prices that fit my very limited budget. Inflight’s training program allowed me to also have time for my other commitments. I was fortunate enough to remain with Inflight as a Certified Flight Instructor and enjoyed 2 years of passing knowledge to my students. I was and still am very passionate about education and I never have had more fun in a career than when I was teaching at Inflight. To me, Inflight is still my home.

When I decided to pursue a new career in aviation, I had no idea where to even begin. After doing some research I decided to stop by Inflight and check them out. From the moment I walked in I immediately felt comfortable. My primary flight instructor subsequently turned into a lifelong friend and also a current colleague. The training I received at Inflight truly paved the way for my career, and I would not be where I am today (currently the Assistant Chief Pilot at a Part 135 charter company flying GIV’s and GV’s around the world) without Inflight. I could not recommend the whole team at Inflight any more!
