“You as an instructor get to put the flying time in your logbook,” he said. Johnson said the college degree and then two years as a flight in- structor build up enough fly- ing hours for the new pilots to get jobs at a regional airline such as SkyWest, American Eagle or Delta Connection.
The career opportunities weren’t lost on some of the high school students attend- ing the event.
“It’s a great experience, really interesting,” said Mauricio Ruelas, a junior at Reedley Middle College High School. “I’ve never thought about it before, but coming here opened my eyes and made me think about it. I found it interesting and defi- nitely would do this again if I

Shelter cleanup day
Jon Earnest / The Exponent
Robin Wilson from Heritage Church of Reedley rakes weeds from the ground in front of the future Faith House emergency shelter in south- west Reedley during a cleanup day on May 12. Volunteers from Heri- tage Church and Full Gospel Tabernacle cut weeds and bushes and washed off the outside of the house. Ken Baker, pastor of Heritage Church and director of operations for Hope Now Ministries, said the shelter — approved by the Reedley City Council on April 10 — still needs some interior structure repairs, including work on the upstairs floor. Baker said the goal is to get an onsite manager in the house by the end of July.
