Question
hi David,
Flight academies like Delta airlines academy?? Do they have placements in their own airlines as pilots from the academy? Also wat would be the approx. cost of training in these academies?

Answer
Hello,
Many of the Academies that are off-shoots do offer a placement service.  It depends on many factors such as what the demand happens to be at that point in time.  You will need to contact the ones that you are interested in for specifics.  The cost varies greatly.  That will depend upon the type of training aircraft is being used and what certificates you want to obtain.  Again, you need to ask the specific school in which you are interested.
One piece of advise, schools that are in warm climates will cost less because of the better weather conditions.
Good Luck,
