Scott always knew he wanted to be a pilot, stemming from early memories of flying with his uncle. After receiving a university degree in business, Scott completed his training at ATP in Houston, TX. He then became a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) at Hooks Airport for Houston Flight Training. From there, Scott was at Great Lakes on the BE-1900, and had the opportunity to fly as First Officer before being upgraded to Captain.
Scott joined Aviate through Mesa Airlines on the EMB-175. Upon completion of the program, Scott transitioned to United and has now flown the A319/A320 and the B737 to global destinations and is even a pilot instructor now for the B737 in United's Flight Training Center.
Scott is most appreciative of his Aviate Coach who helped prepare him for what United would be like and guided him on the path to success at United.
“I still call him when I have a question to this day,” Scott shared.
