Aviate success story EWR-based B737 First Officer Bradley M. is grateful for his journey through the Aviate program.

Bradley started his flight training at ATP, an Aviate flight school partner, and then continued his training at a mom-and-pop flight school in New Jersey. From there, he flew with CommuteAir, an Aviate United Express partner, before transitioning to United.

“I wanted to join Aviate to ultimately achieve my goal of working for United. It’s the most secure path,” Bradley shared.
