Competition is fierce at UND\u2019s John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences \u2013 but not\u00a0between\u00a0<\/em>students.<\/p>\n

Instead, the competition is\u00a0for\u00a0<\/em>students, between airlines and other aviation giants hoping to recruit the students as the next generation of pilots.<\/p>\n

Among major airlines, hiring pilots hit rock-bottom during the Great Recession 10 years ago, but the upswing since then has been dramatic. A key force behind that upswing is a rapidly aging workforce. United Airlines recently announced half of its 12,500 pilots will retire over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n

And according to estimates from Boeing,\u00a0reported by CNBC<\/a>, airlines worldwide will need to recruit 645,000 pilots through 2038.<\/p>\n

Many of these retirements will be prompted by a mandatory retirement age from the Federal Aviation Administration. It\u2019s not just airlines, as freight, corporate and military flight operations abide by similar rules.<\/p>\n

As carriers dramatically increase compensation and dig deeper into pools of potential employees, they\u2019re partnering with flight schools such as UND Aerospace to streamline the job-hunting process for pilots-in-training.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpportunities have been exploding since economic recovery started ramping up in 2011,\u201d said\u00a0Chester Fritz Distinguished Professor Kent Lovelace, the school\u2019s director of aviation industry relations<\/a>\u00a0and a person who\u2019s had his finger on the pulse of the aviation industry throughout his near-40-year career at UND Aerospace.<\/p>\n

Lovelace\u2019s years of research alongside UND faculty warned industry stakeholders of pilot shortages early in the decade, when hiring was still frozen.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In August 2018, Delta Airlines unveiled its career pathway program called Propel. It\u2019s now one of the many programs of its kind available at UND. Students are able to apply to these programs while still in school and receive conditional offers, providing them a streamlined option for their careers.

Pathway options increase alongside enrollment<\/h4>\n

As hiring has recovered, enrollment at UND Aerospace has soared. Just from 2018 to 2019, the number of commercial aviation majors went up 8.2 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the 20 years I have been in aviation education, I have never seen this many unique Pathway programs for our students,\u201d\u00a0Associate Dean Elizabeth Bjerke<\/a>\u00a0said. To date, there are 17 such programs at UND: defined paths laid out by commercial carriers, companies and agencies for pilots-in-the-making to develop their careers.<\/p>\n

\n

Though the same certifications and amounts of flight hours are required, Pathway programs let aviation students go through application and interview processes while still attending school. Some programs accept applications from students as early as their sophomore year.<\/p>\n

Most programs offer conditional employment to successful applicants. If they maintain good academic standing and abide by a program\u2019s guidelines, their placement in an entry-level pilot position is secured following graduation. That position usually is with regional or corporate carriers, where pilots typically build total flight time to become eligible for first officer positions at major airlines.<\/p>\n

The first carrier to bring such a structure to UND was JetBlue Airways more than 10 years ago, in 2007. Bjerke said many alums have since followed that \u201cPathway\u201d and now fly as first officers for the airline.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was truly a way to help connect and mentor students throughout their career progression,\u201d said Bjerke.<\/p>\n

In September, JetBlue returned to campus to unveil an updated Pathway option specifically for UND. The Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) Gateway program presents a new means by which graduates can accrue flight time while helping UND with its need for instructors.<\/p>\n

The recent development came through collaboration and JetBlue\u2019s understanding of UND\u2019s unique challenges, Bjerke explained. As enrollment numbers at UND Aerospace rapidly expand, chasing aviation hiring trends, more instructors are required to prepare undergraduates. But because opportunities abound, it\u2019s hard for the University to retain qualified instructors.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kent Lovelace<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Students accepted into JetBlue\u2019s program can now apply to stay at UND as an instructor, then go directly to JetBlue as a first officer after accruing 3,000 \u2013 4,000 hours of total time. Typically, graduates in the original JetBlue Gateway Program would spend a year at UND instructing before going to regionals such as Cape Air or ExpressJet to gain flight experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will allow us to retain highly experienced flight instructors to teach our most advanced flight courses for a longer period of time,\u201d Bjerke said. \u201cThis is very much needed for our program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lovelace, who continues working with airlines and other industry partners to develop opportunities for students, said those who stay at UND for such an extended period will need experience in advanced instructing before they progress to JetBlue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll need not only the certifications, but experience instructing on multi-engine aircraft and our jet transition course in the simulator, among other lead instructing duties,\u201d he said. \u201cTeaching primary students for 2,000 hours isn\u2019t going to float, and it\u2019s a big jump to go from UND to JetBlue with regard to knowledge, experience and skill. That\u2019s why there are requirements for advanced, higher-performance instructing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re able to provide that at UND.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than airlines<\/h4>\n

Bjerke was eager to point to another type of Pathway opportunity that has already come to fruition: the Air and Marine Operations Pathways Program.<\/p>\n

Established in 2017, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) career program recruits UND pilots of all types \u2014 fixed-wing, helicopter and UAS \u2014 for federal positions as air interdiction agents responsible for protecting the nation\u2019s borders. U.S. Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., developed the program with CBP, which worked exclusively with UND in its inaugural recruitment run. By the end of the year, 15 students had been selected for training.<\/p>\n

Bjerke said that one of those students is already back in Grand Forks, flying for the CBP\u2019s local National Air Security Operations Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are more [pilot] opportunities in the military than there ever have been,\u201d said Lovelace. All areas of flight have been affected by the scramble to recruit the best and brightest.<\/p>\n

According to a student survey, almost a third of respondents indicated they were pursuing or had been accepted into a Pathway program at UND.<\/p>\n

While less data is available about how the growth of career development partnerships affects things such as student retention and recruitment, Lovelace said the industry is reaching out in ways it never has before. Regional carriers are boosting their recruitment budgets and trying to create more social engagements. National carriers such as United and Delta want to have a regular presence on campus, to keep their names in front of students.<\/p>\n

Lovelace encouraged students to look into career pathways and find what might be the right fit. While they aren\u2019t necessarily fast lanes to first officer positions, they represent the quickest and surest routes to an airline pilot\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents need to keep their noses clean, dot their i\u2019s and cross their t\u2019s and gain the experience,\u201d he said. \u201cMost of them will lead to a job with a mainline carrier.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
