Professional Pilots of Tomorrow, (PPOT) a 501(c)(3) non-profit pilot mentorship organization, is seeking volunteer pilot mentors!

The process of becoming a professional pilot takes years of training, determination and discipline. Whether a pilot's objective is a career at an airline, cargo, charter, or corporate operator, the path can be challenging to navigate, especially alone.

Professional Pilots of Tomorrow is a mentorship organization founded on the principle of providing free, unbiased guidance to aspiring aviation professionals, as well as providing the resources needed to succeed in the industry. Our organization is a support system for up-and-coming pilots to network with established, experienced professionals across a broad and diverse network.

With PPOT, members grow their network and establish themselves within a vibrant aviation community, allowing them to become better equipped to make informed career path decisions. Our mentorship program is designed to be as transparent and unbiased as possible, fostering a relationship and dialogue that is honest and ensures members are well suited to make the crucial decisions that lie ahead.

Mentor Eligibility Requirements:

1. While we respect each individual pilot's experience, background, and diligence, at this time, we require our pilot mentors to have experience as a professional pilot in a position in addition to a traditional CFI position.
2. This can include pilots with experience as a professional Part 91K, Part 135, or Part 121 position.
