Where are they now?

Picture
Courtney Robson is an airline pilot and currently a First Officer at PSA Airlines based in Dayton, Ohio. She began flying when she was in High School and continued flight training while also going to North Carolina State University, studying Economics. After graduating with a B. S. In Economics, Courtney worked full time as a flight instructor at RDU with us here at FlightGest Training, and later began flying private jets with Causey Aviation. Now with PSA, Courtney flies the Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet 200/700/900 series under the American Eagle name throughout the Midwest and Eastern U. S. When she isn’t flying, she enjoys running, scuba diving, and trying new things.

I worked at FlightGest from 2016-2018. I am now a First Officer for PSA Airlines, a regional subsidiary of American Airlines. I really enjoyed instructing at FlightGest. When I started I became part of a lifelong FlightGest family. One of my favorite memories was my first student who soloed. I don’t know who was more nervous! Another memorable experience was flying with another CFI Philip Paul-Wilson, to see the solar eclipse. The best advice I can give new students is don’t get frustrated when you reach a training plateau. This is normal and very common. Take a fun flight to the coast for lunch with your instructor. You won’t regret it! I promise!

After serving in the US Marine Corps as an AH-1W Cobra pilot, I came to FlightGest to obtain my Flight Instructor rating. I was the unofficial helicopter transition instructor for military helicopter guys getting their fixed wing ratings. I'm currently in training to be a First Officer at Air Wisconsin Airlines (United Express). My biggest piece of advice is to not fly on Friday afternoons because the airport is too busy (haha).

I completed my flight instructor training at FlightGest in 2016, and after experiencing the individualized training that FlightGest offers I was eager to join the team. As an instructor it was extremely rewarding not only flying a diverse fleet but also teaching people from all walks of life, whether it was high school students eager to become airline pilots or retirees who have always had a passion for aviation. My favorite memories were always the $100 burger flights, food just tastes better when you've flown for it. I am currently in training to be a first officer for PSA Airlines. My biggest piece of advice for new students is to not be intimidated by how busy ATC can be, radio communications are like a foreign language that require practice, practice, practice! Fly safe!
