ADDISON, Texas — Thrust Flight, a flight school based at Addison Airport (KADS), has received FAA approval of its Special Curriculum Part 141 accelerated commercial certificate course.
The new approval decreases the length of the school’s Part 141 commercial course by as much as two months, according to company officials. That means a student pilot with zero time could obtain a job as a commercial pilot or instructor in as little as seven months and as a regional airline pilot in as little as 20 months, they add.
The Zero Time to Airline program, designed specifically for pilots pursuing a professional pilot career, is offered at the school’s locations in Addison and Denison, Texas.
My teenage daughter is required to have a driver learner permit for at least 12 months to drive solo. I guess that getting a CFI ticket and teaching our future pilots is a much simpler endeavor.
Scary times!

These accelerated courses usually sound like some sort of reduced standards, but they aren’t. The applicant still has to pass the same standards as everyone else.
