Line Training Pograms gives pilots the opportunity to gain Boeing 737 and Airbus 320 first officer experience in European and Asian airspace including operations to and from the largest airports. This experience has also been greatly appreciated by the many airlines which have been hiring B737 and A320 pilots after they are done with their Line Training. The key to getting hired by airlines is the amount of hours on type. Pilots who have completed a 300 hour B737 or A320 program have been highly successful in securing rapid employment during or shortly after program completion. Joining a program with less than 300 hours is not recommended as it often does not lead to employment. At a rate of only $49 per flight hour including the airline conversion course, the B737 NG programs are of special interest for any pilot looking at securing heavy jet employment.

These unique airline first officer programs take place during actual airline commercial operations as no simulator training or flight school general aviation training can replace actual airline experience. Pilots coming from the flight school environment generally do not have any commercial air carrier flying experience. U.S. regional airlines give priority to pilots who are already experienced and familiar with the airline flight environment on advanced turbine powered aircraft before investing a substantial financial amount in their regional jet training (or heavy turboprop training in some cases). Heavy jet airlines worldwide are looking for pilots already type rated on the aircraft they operate as well as having a certain amount of hours on type. This is why pilots enrolled in one of these programs are being hired during or shortly after completion of their programs by airlines worldwide.
