Dear Vito,

Thank you for the opportunity to train at your center.

When I arrived at Aeroservice I had a multi/single instrument commercial and airframe and power plant license.  My total hours were about 350 total 0 engineer.

When I graduated Aeroservice I was hired by Arrow Air on the DC-8 and then went to Planet Airways as an FE on the 727.  From Planet I went to Centurion Air as a FE on the DC10.  Last year I was hired by Atlas Air as an FE on the 747. I now have about 400 hours total time (21 hours Multi in a Seneca) and last month I was Upgraded to an FO on the 747.  My first landing was at Hong Kong.

Thank you for everything,

Joe

Dear Vito,

Just like every pilot, it came a point in my career that I did not know how to proceed.  It was right after I had gotten my Commercial, Multi-engine, IFR license and had accumulated about 500 hours. 

I thought that I only had one option and that was to get my CFI and build up some time as a flight instructor in a small airplane.  Then you gave me another option.  That was to get qualified in a Commercial category airplane, to make myself different from other pilots and improve my resume.  I decide to take a Jet Transition course at Aeroservice.

To make a long story short, with my Jet Transition course I was able to get a job flying a business jet, and with some more flight experience, I took another course, a B737-300 Type Rating course with Aeroservice, and today I am flying a B737 NG for an airline.

Thank you for everything,

Mauricio

Your friend always,

Steve,

I wish to express my most sincere thanks to you and the dedicated team at Aeroservice.  I cannot say enough on the training, the instructors and the staff and facilities at Aeroservice.  The training I received from Miguel Gil, Clancey Prevost and Robert Schopaul was just fantastic!  These instructors gave what ever what was needed to get the training completed and done with great detail.

As a direct result from the training that was given, I am now employed at TradeWinds Airlines as a Second Officer.  I fly with their operations in China.  Who would of thought that a 750TT pilot would be operating a heavy, widebody jet in China?  Not me and all of my other low time pilots friends.  They are now considering turning to Aeroservice for their next training event.

Thanks again to you and everyone at Aeroservice.

Steve,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to earn my Boeing 737 Type rating.  Having this Type Rating on my license allowed me to add credibility to my resume with the low flight time I had to begin the application process with the regional airlines. After researching various regional companies I applied to one.  Soon after sending in my application, I received a phone call and was awarded an interview.  During the interview I emphasized how not having the flight time from being a flight instructor was replaced with a 737 type rating giving me the experience of a multi-crew cockpit, exercising crew resource management in constant emergency situations, and expressing the authority of a pilot-in-command that I could've never obtained as a flight instructor in general aviation aircraft. I was hired on the spot and now I am what I have dreamt of being since I was 5 years old, an Airline Pilot. Aeroservice played an essential part of my journey and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and everyone who helped me along the way.
