Core Values – as written before we founded the company

  1. Excellence

    We wish to model excellence in everything we do and say, both in the quality of training and how we run the company.

  2. Character/Integrity

    We adhere to objective standards of performance with no compromise on those standards. We value character over giftedness.

  3. Innovation

    We are proponents of creative, leading edge concepts in aviation. Not satisfied with the status quo, we will aggressively lead the industry as a company of "firsts."

  4. Relationships

    We value our customers, employers, staff, instructors, vendors, regulators, business associates and our public. We consider ourselves as partners in our students' careers, always seeking the best for them.

  5. Joy

    Life is to be enjoyed, not merely endured. Fun and professional, two words not normally associated together, have become more normative as companies such as Southwest Airlines have proved that you do not have to sacrifice joy for success. We value an environment that is transparent, enriching, accepting and trusting, as well as relaxed and casual without compromising performance.

  6. Serving

    We are here to serve others, not merely ourselves.

  7. Training

    In life, we are continually learning. We train ourselves just as we have opportunities to receive training from those able to teach from their knowledge and experience. We believe that training is a requirement for maintaining and for establishing higher standards of performance.
