L3Harris Flight Academy
Global Crossing Airlines
L3Harris is proud to partner with Global Crossing Airlines (GlobalX) for the Cadet XDirect™ program to help meet pilot demand.
Cadet XDirect™

From student to Airbus A320 First Officer
Students enrolling in our Professional Pilot Program or Accelerated Airline Pilot Track can now apply to the Cadet XDirect™ program with Global Crossing Airlines. Successful completion of this pathway program takes you directly from student pilot to First Officer with GlobalX flying an Airbus A320!
GlobalX is a domestic flag and supplemental airline flying the Airbus A320 aircraft, serving the U.S., Caribbean and Latin American markets.
How the Cadet XDirect™ Program works
Step 1 - NOW - Enroll at L3Harris
Enroll in the Professional Pilot Program (PPP) or Accelerated Airline Pilot Track (AAPT). Both programs include accredited curriculum and airline-oriented training that takes you to Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) in as little as 12 months.
Step 2 - Build Your Experience as a CFI
All student pilots completing PPP or AAPT programs are guaranteed a pathway to becoming a CFI with L3Harris, so you can earn money while building flight hours.
Step 3 - Apply for the Cadet XDirect™ Program
At 1,000 hours of total time, L3Harris CFIs are eligible to apply for the Cadet XDirect™ Program. After the application and interview process, if selected, you will be given a conditional job offer to join GlobalX as a First Officer once you attain 1,500 hours.
Step 4 - Assigned a Mentor
While working on your last 500 hours of flight time, you're assigned a current GlobalX pilot as a mentor. The mentor will help guide and prepare you for the transition from L3Harris CFI to GlobalX pilot. This provides valuable networking and additional training opportunities right from the start of your pilot career!
Need financial aid?
PPP and AAPT students can access funding for up to 100% of the program cost via flight school loans.
