The program will be operated in partnership with ATP Flight School. The program will welcome up to 35 individuals per month who want to become commercial airline pilots. No prior flying experience is required. According to Frontier, cadets will receive assistance in applying for financial aid to help offset training and living expenses. The program will last about 24 months. "This is an exciting opportunity for anyone who has ever dreamed of becoming a commercial airline pilot," said Brad Lambert, vice president of flight operations, Frontier Airlines, in a statement. "We are putting this program in place to not only train future pilots but to help them overcome the barriers to entry people may encounter when trying to pursue an aviation career. We are thrilled to embark on this journey that will lead us to a new generation of Frontier Airlines pilots." Additional Information from Frontier Airlines: Cadets must be at least 19 years old, willing to relocate, and clear a background check. An associate degree or higher is preferred but not required. Participants' progress will be monitored throughout the program and they must pass all required tests as well as obtain all necessary certifications prior to becoming a Frontier pilot. Partnerships with aviation university programs will be integrated, as well, to create a complete academic training experience.

After announcing a recruitment drive for cabin crew members a few weeks ago, Jet Airways has invited applications for another key post. The airline is ready to hire pilots for its future operations, suggesting it now has a clear idea about its immediate fleet requirements. Pilots needed On July 26th, Jet Airways posted a message on Twitter inviting applications for current and type-rated pilots on the Airbus A320, Boeing 737NG, or the 737 MAX aircraft. Jet has been actively recruiting employees across all divisions as it looks to meet its current launch deadline of September. It received a massive response to its previous ad for cabin crew members, getting more than 700 applications within 5 hours of posting. The airline, which has not flown since April 2019, is being revived under the ownership of the Jalan-Kalrock consortium. Earlier this year, it got its air operator certificate revalidated by the aviation safety regulator DGCA. Fleet It is interesting to note that Jet is inviting applications for pilots trained on both the Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320 family of airplanes. In its first stint, Jet primarily flew the 737 for its domestic operations along with a few ATRs. The carrier is yet to announce any official order for aircraft, but rumor has it that it is close to finalizing a deal to buy 50 A220 jets from Airbus. Jet is reportedly looking to lease a handful of airplanes for its immediate needs until it settles for a more uniform fleet later. Simple Flying previously reported that the soon-to-be-relaunched airline is in discussions with aircraft manufacturers and lessors to lease 6-8 planes by the end of this year. Usually, there's always a long waiting line for popular narrowbody aircraft such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, but Jet is eying the planes which were to be delivered to Russian carriers before the Ukraine war. Jet primarily operated a Boeing 737 fleet for domestic operations in its first stint. The airline is busy ahead of its proposed launch and was earlier said to be in "advanced discussions" with the lessors and original equipment manufacturer (OEMs). It is also negotiating with airport operators to secure slots. Before 2019, Jet was a major national airline and enjoyed prime slots at all major airports in the country. September launch If everything goes according to plan, Jet could start operations as early as September this year. Not only will it be entering a crowded aviation market, but it will also compete with another new player, Akasa Air, which will start operations before Jet in August. Jet will also compete with another new airline, Akasa Air, which is launching operations in August. The airline is also in a sticky situation currently, with recent reports suggesting that a group of lenders led by the State Bank of India is threatening it with insolvency if it does not pay them the proceeds from rentals of its aircraft. Jet still owes cash to plenty of lenders and stakeholders from its previous stint and will have to devise a proper plan to resolve those issues over the next few years. https://simpleflying.com/jet-airways-hiring-pilots-relaunch/ Missing parts force Airbus to cut near-term supply goals PARIS, July 27 (Reuters) - Airbus (AIR.PA)cut its annual jet delivery forecast and put the brakes on planned production increases on Wednesday, bowing to pressure from fragile supply chains and widespread labour shortages as aerospace struggles to meet resurgent demand. After insisting for months that it could quickly go beyond pre-pandemic jet production as people resume flying, the world's largest planemaker delayed phase one of a planned output hike by six months but kept its end-target and financial goals intact. "We came to the conclusion that the supply chain was not able support the previous plan," Chief Executive Guillaume Faury said, citing engine shortages that have left 26 jets, nicknamed 'gliders,' otherwise ready and waiting to be delivered. Airbus aims to reduce that overhang to zero by year-end. Airbus lowered its overall 2022 delivery goal to 700 jets from 720 and said it would reach an interim production goal of 65 A320-family narrow-body jets a month in early 2024 instead of summer 2023. It continues to target 75 a month in 2025. Airbus did not disclose current production but executives have said it stands at around 50 a month, compared with a pre-pandemic peak of 60. The revisions come after Airbus posted flat first-half deliveries read more . They confirm a shift towards supply concerns rather than demand, which Airbus and rival Boeing say remains strong for best-selling medium-haul jets. read more Even so, Airbus reaffirmed its 2022 profit and cashflow forecasts on Wednesday as it posted second-quarter adjusted operating profit of 1.382 billion euros, down 31%, on revenues down 10% to 12.810 billion. Analysts were on average expecting adjusted second-quarter operating income of 1.328 billion euros on revenues of 13.7 billion, according to a company-compiled consensus. While pushing back the initial phase of its output hike for narrow-body jets by six months, Airbus said it was exploring a further increase in production of larger wide-body jets in a sign that the slowest part of the market is starting to recover. Sales of long-haul jets have struggled with overcapacity for years but were hit particularly hard by the pandemic due to travel restrictions in Asia, one of their main markets. 'MORE CREDIBLE' Chief Financial Officer Dominik Asam said an unspecified number of jets originally built for Russia, which Airbus could not deliver due to sanctions, had been placed elsewhere. This contributed to Airbus' decision to maintain full-year financial goals while cutting its delivery target, he said. Suppliers welcomed the slower initial A320 output hike, though some worry how easy it will be to pull off what remains the steepest increase in the industry's modern history. "It is more credible than the current plan," a senior industry source said of the revised interim target. Supply chains dominated last week's Farnborough Airshow where companies said they were scrambling to source everything from raw materials to electronic components. read more Faury told Reuters afterwards he was leaving the show with "a bit more comfort" on engines and that Airbus' own delivery targets were at that stage "still feasible," but challenged suppliers to prove they could meet their promises. read more Also reporting earnings on Wednesday, Boeing pointed to "real constraints" in the supply chain and said it was putting more people in suppliers' premises. On future developments, Airbus reiterated the timeline for its long-range single-aisle A321XLR, which it had recently pushed back by three months to early 2024. Airbus has been at odds with regulators over the design of the plane's underbelly, which will house a new kind of fuel tank. Faury said Airbus had made "good progress" in converging on a set of requirements but that the schedule would only be free of risk once the plane had been formally certified. One industry source said customers were pressing Airbus for more detailed timelines for the jet, which is leading a contest with Boeing at the top end of the single-aisle market. Airbus says it has sold more than 500 of the jets, while Boeing said last week it occupied a "niche" in a larger market. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/airbus-trims-delivery-target-slows-jet-output-hike-2022-07-27/ Curt Lewis
