Endeavor Air partners with Pittsburgh AMT school
Maintenance pathway opens to aircraft technicians
Add Endeavor Air, a Delta Air Lines subsidiary, and the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics to the list of professional pathways available to aspiring aviation mechanics.
Regional air carrier officials visited the Pennsylvania aircraft maintenance technician school on Feb. 22 to welcome students into the program.
Endeavor representatives planned to make regular campus visits, share class and student body presentations, and conduct interviews with students to prepare them for careers in maintaining and repairing the company’s fleet of Bombardier CRJs.
Eric Wagner, the regional airline’s recruitment and outreach manager, complimented the facility as a “long-standing” aircraft maintenance industry leader. The school was established in 1929, and it joins five other maintenance institutions that are founding the employment program.
A news release noted that the U.S. Department of Labor predicted the demand for 7,500 new aircraft maintenance jobs within the next 10 years, a growth rate of 5 percent for the field.
Endeavor Air is headquartered in Minneapolis and operates 154 regional jets on nearly 800 daily flights to more than 140 destinations in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean.
