American Airlines Cadet Academy

Take the Fastest Path to the Flight Deck

Three Regional Opportunities. One Path to American Airlines.

Infinity Flight is proud to provide professional flight training for students pursuing the American Airlines Cadet Academy at Piedmont, Envoy, or PSA at all of Infinity’s locations.

Each of American Airlines’ three wholly owned regional carriers offers its own Cadet Academy pathway, giving aspiring pilots multiple opportunities to connect with an airline as they progress through their flight training. Eligibility and entry points vary by carrier, allowing students to pursue the cadet opportunity that best aligns with their stage of training and career path.

Cadets benefit from a conditional job offer, mentorship, airline engagement, carrier visits, and opportunities to build relationships with the regional airline where they will begin their professional flying career. This also provides an established pathway for cadets to ultimately progress to American Airlines through their respective flow programs WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INTERVIEWS.
