After <\/span><\/span>announcing the opportunity to win on our social media channels<\/span><\/span><\/a>, contestants poured <\/span>in<\/span> and 24<\/span><\/span>\u00a0lottery <\/span>winners were selected to take part in this rare opportunity.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In late 2022, Envoy invested in two new Embraer 170\/175 full-motion simulators (SIMs) to support our growing group of pilots with training and qualifications. These state-of-the-art SIMs, housed at the Avenger Flight Group (AFG) facility in Irving, Texas, are the very SIMs our contest winners got to fly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEnvoy continues to\u00a0invest significantly in resources and infrastructure needed to support our Embraer E-Jet fleet, and deliver outstanding service to American\u2019s customers,\u201d said Envoy Senior Vice President of Air Operations <\/span>Dee Temples<\/span><\/b>. \u201cAnd what better way to commemorate National Aviation Day than to celebrate that investment with the most enthusiastic av-geeks in the community.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"When they weren\u2019t in the simulated flight deck, contest winners were touring the AFG facility, getting advice from Envoy pilots, networking with industry leaders and dodging the Texas heat with some snow cones.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so thankful for this opportunity \u2013 Seeing the training facility helped boost my motivation to accomplish my dreams and goals in aviation,\u201d shared participant and aspiring aviator, <\/span>Roy Moya<\/span><\/b>. \u201cI look forward\u202fto what\u202fthe future\u202fholds, and hopefully,\u202fthe next time I go to that facility will be as a student!\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\"\"Thanks to all who celebrated all things aviation with us last week. And thank you to Avenger Flight Group for partnering with us to make this National Aviation Day a memorable one!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
