President Andrew Mitchell

An experienced pilot, his career in aviation started by learning to fly C-152's.  Like most of you he fell in love with the idea of flying for a living.  He became a flight instructor in the NYC area, then moved up to Chief Flight Instructor.  While instructing he was also a Part 135 Charter Captain of a piston twin engine.  Later he took a position as Director of Flight Training running a flight school with 14 instructors and about 75 students.  Still yearning to be a pilot, he left the flight school and flew his first job as a 121 pilot in a Beech 1900.  He later switched companies and flew EMB 145's.  While at the regional level he was a captain on the EMB 170-175 and was selected as a Check Airmen before leaving the regionals to fly for a major legacy carrier where he flies today.  Throughout his career he has had the opportunity to interview many candidates and was able to see areas where pilots were coming up short on interviews.  He also personally interviewed at over 5 regionals and 4 majors throughout his career. At AIPS we look forward to helping you reach your dream.
