The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) has released its final Forces to Flyers report, assessing the initiative offering military veterans an opportunity to earn commercial pilot’s licenses and flight instructor certifications.
The report evaluated the three-year research initiative’s success in meeting project goals while also providing lessons for future efforts to assist veterans in obtaining flight training to become airline pilots.
“The Forces to Flyers demonstration project has helped veterans transition from military service to good-paying jobs as pilots,” Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao said.
