CJ’s dream of becoming a pilot took off at CMASAS, where our personalized, flexible learning model allowed him to excel beyond traditional timelines. Graduating early gave him the freedom to explore his passion for aviation, leading him to start flight school at just 17 years old. By 19, he was one of only 214 pilots in the U.S. working as a Certified Flight Instructor, and by 20, he earned his Multi-Engine Instrument Certification and FAA examining authority—an achievement held by fewer than 10 pilots his age at the time. Today, as a SkyWest pilot, CJ continues to use the study habits, discipline, and self-motivation he developed at CMASAS to navigate his career in aviation.
