Ep. 4 – Training to Become an Airline Pilot: The Genesis Cadet Program Experience
What does it take to succeed in an airline cadet program—and how does it compare to other training routes?
In this episode, we sit down with Kareem, a current cadet student who’s well on his way to completing the program and beginning his airline career. He shares what the application process looked like, how the cadet path stacks up against the modular option, and why sim flying and a strong mindset are essential. We also break down what the Nav Prog test is and how it fits into the overall training journey.
Whether you’re early in your training or exploring your options, this is a practical, first-hand look.
