What I Offer
01
WORKFORCE & PILOT PLANNING
One of the most pressing challenges in U.S. aviation today is the need to replace thousands of retiring pilots with a prepared and diverse next generation of pilots. Through forecasting needs based on fleet growth and upcoming retirements, the main goal is to increase the number of qualified pilots entering the profession.
02
SMALL BUSINESS AVIATION SUPPORT & YOUTH OUTREACH
Local businesses, such as flight schools and plane rentals, often lack the resources and manpower to attract more students outside the local area. Through partnerships and close cooperation, Flight Path Consulting aims to expand its network and attract more clients to improve fleet optimization via professional networks and youth outreach.
03
MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS ADVISORY
Consolidations play a pivotal role in shaping American aviation. When executed well, they can create lasting synergies, generating jobs, boosting growth, and strengthening the industry’s competitiveness. However, since 1978, failed mergers among U.S. carriers have cost the industry nearly $30 billion, often due to operational oversights that traditional consultants miss. With firsthand cockpit and airline operations experience, paired with financial expertise, Flight Path Consulting identifies the critical operational, training, and integration factors that must be addressed for a merger to succeed, reducing risk and maximizing long-term value.
04
ROUTE & NETWORK OPTIMIZATION
A well-planned network is the backbone of U.S. aviation, especially for regional routes that connect smaller communities to the national economy. More than 400 U.S. airports rely exclusively on regional service, and over 600 airports have regional connections. Many of these are located in rural areas where air service supports local businesses, healthcare access, and jobs. Flight Path Consulting aims to help carriers identify their most profitable routes, strengthen underperforming ones, and preserve vital regional connections.
Why It Matters
Strengthening U.S. aviation
Supporting rural connectivity
Inspiring future pilots
Expanding career pathways
Connecting people and opportunities
Aviation is more than aircraft and schedules. From major hubs to rural towns, air service keeps communities connected to jobs, healthcare, and opportunity. Yet network gaps, inefficient operations, and underused regional routes can weaken that link. At the same time, fewer young people are choosing aviation careers, and many small flight schools and aircraft rental companies, which are critical entry points for new pilots, struggle to stay competitive due to low margin nature of the business. Flight Path Consulting exists to close these gaps, combining cockpit experience and financial strategy to help airlines operate smarter, strengthen small aviation businesses, inspire the next generation of pilots, and keep every corner of America connected.
