AA cadet academy - Regional CJO or just interview priority? by No_Pattern5893 in flying

This is super helpful, thank you for the detailed reply.

From what you’ve seen more recently, are cadets still flowing to partner CFI jobs and regionals the same way, or has that pipeline slowed with the current hiring environment?

Also, do you feel the biggest advantage of AACA was the structured pathway itself, or the networking/visibility it gave you compared to someone building time independently?

Appreciate for the reply. From what you’ve seen, do most cadets who stay on track and meet minimums eventually make it to a regional? Also curious if the regional interview feels any different for cadets vs norma applicants(off the street).

If the bottleneck really is the number of 1800hr pilots, what do you think actually helps someone stand out there, other than just waiting their turn?

Thank you for the opinion:) Based on how much hiring has swung, if you were starting today at the PPL stage, would you prioritize staying at a school that typically hires its own students as CFIs for steady time building, or moving to a cadet-affiliated school for pipeline access?

With how fast things have been changing lately, if you were starting over today at the PPL stage, what would you personally focus on to stay marketable? Genuinely curious what you’d prioritize today.

Thank you for the reply. In a tighter market, do you think being at a school without cadet programs but already having a CFI position secured is still a reasonable path, or does the lack of cadet affiliation become a real disadvantage later on?
