On the Horizon

DeVito and Davis both plan to fly commercially and go to school for aviation. 

DeVito will attend Florida Tech next year to finish his studies and training, then begin interviewing with United Express’ cadet program. He hopes to work his way up from regional jets to mainline carriers like United or Delta, where he will be able to fly larger aircrafts. His dream is to fly a supersonic passenger jet across the ocean.

Davis is looking to go straight into an American Airlines program after graduation next year and skip regional flying for international flying. This especially appeals to him because he loves that pilots are able to “go wherever you want way faster.” 

Commercial flying is a more realistic goal for Davis, but his true dream is to “travel the world and just go to different places like China, Japan, Europe — places I’ve never been.” 

While flying under the Northern Lights across the Alaskan mountains is at the top of his list, “I want to see all of it.”
