Clear, Strategic Oversight for Serious Aviation Careers
Professional guidance for pilots, candidates, and sponsors navigating training, employment, and long-term career risk.
Entering commercial aviation is one of the largest financial commitments you will ever make. Yet too many careers are shaped by guesswork and optimistic assumptions.
Years are lost and capable pilots get blocked later in their careers, despite “doing everything right” on paper.
Clearway provides independent career strategy, grounded in senior airline operational experience.
The Goal:
Protect the investment.
Preserve long-term options.
Reduce avoidable risk.

Guidance Built on Airline Reality
Clearway is led by Mark Lendvay, a Senior Training Captain and former airline recruiter.
Mark has trained and assessed thousands of pilots. He has seen first-hand why capable candidates fail assessments or struggle on the line.
The issue is rarely effort.
The reality is that initial training often fails to prepare pilots for airline operational standards. Clearway exists to close that gap.
