Get Paid to Fly
AlphaFlight fosters a strong culture of giving back and one of the best ways to give back as an aviator is to become a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). In fact, Jake, our General Manager and former Pilot Trainer for a regional airline, prefers training and mentoring pilots to flying full time.
“I enjoy instructing … teaching and sharing something with others.” – Jake Marohn
