Every hard-working individual should have access to flight training.
Flex Air offers flight training, career coaching, and job placement services for aspiring airline pilots. A network of hiring airlines, lenders, and financial technology providers supports our program, which is unique in the aviation industry.
In other flight schools, you’re handed off to a single lender, where only one out of five students receive funding. We personalize our approach and view every student as a potential career partner.
With the help of our career advisors, we can help you create a budget and choose the best financing option in our network. You can count on us every step, from finding great financial aid to finding a great job after graduation.
Our network of lenders will provide you with the best student financing options. Each one does a soft credit check, which will not affect your credit score. If necessary, you can adjust the amount and reapply.
Learn in confidence with Flex Air Career Pilot Academy!
Introducing
Flex Air Career Pilot Academy
Launch your aviation career with a combination of academic instruction, simulator lessons, and aircraft training! Our program offers every certification and rating you need to become a professional pilot.
As a pilot, you need more than just the skills to fly safely and confidently. Our training will prepare you to network in the industry and build an impressive resume.
Why Choose Flex Air Career Pilot Academy?
Charlie Copeland founded Flex Air Aviation on the belief that flight training is more than just how to fly an airplane. It’s about joining a community, becoming a respected professional, and not just a job.
Since Flex Air’s humble beginnings of one plane and a family loan in 2016, our company has doubled in size yearly. In 2018, Charlie met Paul Wynns and decided to team up to take Flex Air to the next level. We added operations in San Diego, CA, and Amarillo, TX, with the main base in Manhattan, KS.
As Flex Air leadership, we have yet to lose focus on our belief that every student pilot is an individual. In aviation, every pilot’s work/life goals are unique, so the career paths may also vary. At Flex Air, we measure our success by the career opportunities we create for every student.
We are an aviation company led by minorities and veterans focused on increasing minority representation in every corner of our industry. We seek out industry partners and hiring managers most closely aligned with our core beliefs of equity, inclusion, and diversity.
We create career opportunities for all students, no matter what their background.
World Class Mentor: Jason DuVernay
- Certified Pilot
Jason’s career began after graduating from UND but quickly turned dark after an unsuspected layoff during an industry recession. After working on hydroelectric turbines, he got back into the industry by flying corporate, then transitioning to GoJet, where he led the recruiting department and held the position of Assistant Chief. Currently, he is a consultant with Raven Careers and flies for Frontier Airlines on the Airbus A-320.
- Experience > Skills
As a mentor, Jason wants to ensure Flex Air students are on the right path. To do that, he builds upon a wealth of experience, which hasn’t always been pretty.

Pilots can earn a lot of money, making flight school a very cost-effective option for those seeking to achieve high five and 6-figure salaries.
Commercial pilots average $93,300 per year.
Airline pilots and co-pilots average $160,970 annually.
Over the last several decades, people have viewed their careers differently. A vast majority of people view job satisfaction as being more important than exuberant salaries. As they say, “money can’t buy happiness.”
However, that’s precisely why piloting is such a sought-after career choice. Not only will flight school allow you to land a job that will allow you to live comfortably, but it’s also rewarding in other ways.
There’s nothing like taking to the skies on your first solo flight, safely landing for the first time, or venturing out to a new destination! While challenging, becoming a pilot is all about overcoming obstacles and hurdles. Speaking from experience, there’s no other job quite like this opportunity.
If you want to earn 5-6-figures and have a rewarding career, becoming a pilot will get you to where you want to be.
