Zero time to airline-ready in 24 to 36 months. A structured, three-phase pathway built around how the airlines actually hire — engineered to eliminate guesswork from the most consequential career move you'll ever make.

Becoming an airline pilot is not a single course or a single certificate. It's a sequence — and the schools that get their graduates into airline cockpits the fastest are the ones that treat the entire career as a single, coherent program instead of a stack of disconnected modules.

Alba's Airline Pilot Career Program is built around that idea. From your first discovery flight to the day you walk into a regional airline interview, every checkride, every flight hour, and every milestone is designed to put you on a 121 flight deck as quickly and as well-prepared as the FAA and the airlines will allow.

The pathway is three phases: Student Pilot, Paid Flight Instructor, and Airline Pilot. Each phase has a clear purpose, a clear timeline, and a clear hand-off into the next.
