Global Crossing Airlines Group, Inc. announced a new pilot pathway with L3Harris Technologies that will provide GlobalX with a pipeline of highly-skilled L3Harris graduates to meet the growing pilot demand. The program, named Cadet XDirect(TM), will develop an advanced training curriculum that places graduate pilots from L3Harris'Sanford, Florida, Flight Academy into GlobalX as first officers who are line-ready for its Airbus A320 family fleet.L3Harris students have the opportunity to apply to the Cadet XDirect(TM) pilot pathway on completion of their Private Pilot certificate. Successful applicants will join the Cadet XDirect(TM) pathway, which provides access to pilot mentors and they will also receive a conditional offer of employment on successful completion of training with L3Harris.

Program graduates will qualify with enhanced Crew Resource Management and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 121 training in conjunction with FAA commercial and Air Transport Pilot (ATP) license requirements, ensuring a consistent transition from training to job as first officer. The pathway will allow GlobalX long-term access to highly-qualified pilots when they reach the minimum required ATP hours after successfully completing their commercial and instructor certificates. Highlights of the training program include ATP license certification, fast-track program to GlobalX and a multi-year cooperation agreement between L3Harris and GlobalX.
