Westjet -- a Canadian Airline Success Story

Friday, October 26, 2012
 
Have you heard of WestJet?  It's a Canadian low-cost airline that has been successful since its beginning in 1996. It has a unique culture that is one of the factors behind that success. It operates to 81 destinations in North America and the Caribbean islands and expects to have a fleet of 100 B-737 by the end of this year. It now has a market share of 37%.
 
Quite unusually, 85% of its employees are owners of the airline and care tremendously about the service they provide. The owner-employees also voted on starting a new regional carrier earlier this year -- an airline that will begin operations in 2013, with a fleet of Bombardier Q400 turboprops.
 
Graduates at Phoenix East Aviation fly for airlines just like WestJet -- and you can too.  Contact Phoenix East at www.pea.com or call 1-386-258-0703; talk to an Admissions Officer about how you can start pilot training next month!

Phoenix East made dreams come true. As a former flight student and flight instructor at Phoenix East Aviation, I have to give PEA all the credit for making my dreams come true. Phoenix East provided me with very professional and timely flight training. Included in my course was the B-727 airline training program that prepared me for the big jets and an airline job. The fact that I was given the opportunity to work as an instructor after graduation made me obtain the necessary experience and flight hours to become eligible for an airline job. In my Scandinavian Airlines interview, the Captain made a great point of me being a graduate of Phoenix East Aviation. He said that he had seen a lot of highly qualified applicants come from Phoenix East. Well, I got the job. Today I’m a First Officer on an MD-88 for Scandinavian Airlines and I love it.
