MSJC is meeting the occupational needs of the industry

The first passenger flights ever… coming soon to San Bernardino International Airport.✈ Starting August 4th, the startup airline Breeze Airways will operate one daily nonstop flight to San Francisco. Prices start at $49 each way for bare-bones service, which is less expensive than practically every option out of LAX or Ontario. And how much more convenient is San Bernardino airport than Ontario airport? I guess it depends on where you’re from. ✈MSJC is meeting the occupational needs of this industry by providing inaugural Pilot training courses, which began August 2020 as part of our growing Aviation Science Program! 👋🏾look up! that might be an MSJC grad flying above!✈https://lnkd.in/eP46szQW
