No-Cost Training for Recently Unemployed Business Aircraft Pilots and Technicians
Business aircraft pilots and technicians who have lost their jobs as a result of the economic downturn now have one less thing to worry about thanks to our new Proficiency Protection program, available exclusively from FlightSafety International, the world leader in professional aviation training. The program will help these Customers maintain their proficiency while they pursue new employment opportunities.
Pilots who have become involuntarily unemployed can receive recurrent training at no cost in an aircraft type they trained on under a FlightSafety Full Service agreement. Technicians enrolled in the Master Technician program can receive the next course toward their rating at no cost.
Who can take advantage of this no-cost training?
Those who met the following criteria at the time of job loss.
