LIFT student Stephen Nicholson shares his journey of leaving a fourteen-year career as an engineer and uprooting his family to move from Louisiana to Indiana in pursuit of his dream of becoming an airline pilot. A year later, Stephen is nearly finished with flight training, ready to instruct other students training with LIFT and one step closer to being Republic ready!

From Air Force to airline training, LIFT is bridging the gap for Wylie King.

For some people, it’s National Donut Day or National Take Your Dog to Work Day that gets them pumped up. Around here, as much as we love both donuts and dogs, what revs our engines is National Aviation Day!

While we've been busy helping our students' dreams take off, word has been getting out that LIFT is doing something different. We're not just training pilots, we're providing an opportunity that encourages people to finally chase after their dreams to fly.

June is National Safety Month, a topic that is a top priority at LIFT (not only are we #avgeeks, we’re #safetygeeks, too). It stems from our parent company, Republic Airways, where for over 40 years, safety has been the most important part of Republic’s legacy.
