About Atlas Cadet Academy
Atlas Cadet Academy is more than training for certificates and ratings. With leadership training and specially-designed educational experiences, we've built a custom path that prepares aspiring pilots for a career flying at Atlas Air.
Atlas cadets will meet senior Atlas executives and get to know the airline, home bases, and culture, both in-person and through an exclusive online community. Additionally, cadets will have priority opportunities to become an Atlas CFI and build their required flight hours.
