I did some research and the ASAP program I think is not for flight schools. They would need the ASRS form which still allows for a violation, but no suspension. ASAP involves a commitee at the airline with FAA and management. ASRS is just an online form any pilot can submit.

That’s the rumor. I think one was a take off without clearance. Probably not a smart idea to conduct training out of KIND. Still the CFIs should have known better.

Let us know if you actually get it - Alaska is competitive unless you have a very strong internal rec.

Inside the company the pilots really haven't heard anything. Just a fluff piece that was released publicly and a picture of the first students. No details.

Rough start with the First week. Things are running smoothly now, and they would like 300+ per year through the program.

Same here! LIFT program is a God send for so many. I’m sure the entitlement generation won’t see how great an opportunity this is.

I’m glad RPA did this, great move by the company and organization.

It’s not for everyone. I’m not at RPA but encouraging my friends to join LIFT.
