CAPT graduates are ready for the real world of the airlines immediately upon graduation. As a result, CAPT graduates are sought after by airlines across the country.

So how many graduates have been hired "immediately upon graduation"? Who hired them?
How many students have enrolled in the CAPT program since the beginning?
How many hours will a typical CAPT student leave with?How many of those hours are multi-engine? (I'm looking for actual flight hours not FTD)
Is the CFI still not a part of the program? If not, how do graduates of the program build hours after completion of the program?

Currently, CAPT has placed 14 out of 20 graduates with either regional airlines or a freight operator (70%). The organizations we have placed them with are ASA, Piedmont and Focus. The average time to hire right now is approximately 30 days, but that average is based on the almost immediate hiring of several of our graduates (meaning that the average will change over time). Of the remaining six who have not been placed we are updating their packets for the next call for resumes.
The numbers of students who have enrolled in the program since August of 2003 is 86.
The total number of hours that program graduates leave with is approximately 325 hours based on our TCOs. Of this 225 hours is piston aircraft flight training. Our Level D simulator accounts for approximately 100 hours of flight. As you can tell from our placement rate, hiring organizations are less concerned with total hours than with the quality of the individual and the program.
CFI/CFII/MEI ratings are still not offered as part of the program although that may change in the future. Once again, because of our success at placing graduates, we are confident that the airlines will continue to consider us as one source for potential employees. We will continue to address instructor ratings as warrants.
I hope this answers all your questions.
Regards,
Seth
