MICHIGAN (CBS DETROIT) - Western Michigan University is gearing up to be a leading place for pilots in training thanks to a new partnership.

It's part of a program known as "Aviate" in partnership with United Airlines.

University officials say it'll cut down the time it takes students to find a job by nearly half.

They're hoping it brings more pilot hopefuls to the area.
