Do you enjoy exploring new destinations? Becoming a pilot is a fantastic way to see the world while getting paid for it. When you work for an airline, you can also take advantage of affordable travel during your leisure time, including free flights and discounts on hotels, rental cars, and tours.

Being a pilot isn't a typical 9-to-5 job, and it may involve working nights or weekends occasionally. However, pilots often enjoy more time off compared to those in traditional jobs. Senior pilots at major airlines might have schedules with as few as seven workdays a month, while junior pilots at regional airlines frequently get blocks of three to five days off.

Another exciting part of being a pilot is the challenge it brings. Flying a plane demands a mix of technical knowledge, decision-making abilities, and hand-eye coordination. Pilots find their job fulfilling because it combines mental and physical skills, making each workday different. Plus, they get to enjoy the best view from their "office" and they don't bring work home with them.

Pay is a crucial part of any job. Senior captains flying large planes like the Boeing 747 or Airbus A380 can make up to $400,000 per year. While not all pilots earn this much, airline captains with a decade of experience usually make around $150,000 or more yearly at major airlines and about $80,000 per year at regional airlines. Additionally, pilots usually receive benefits like health insurance, life insurance, and 401K as part of their compensation.

Immediate Job Openings

Today the demand for pilots is outpacing the rate at which we can teach them. Current pilot job offers exceed $60k your first year with sign on bonuses.

Connections

With connections to the world’s best airlines and programs through our industry contacts, we produce top quality pilots and personnel that exceed commercial airline standards.

DISCOVERY FLIGHT

KICK START YOUR AVIATION EXPERIENCE

We offer a 1-hour discovery flight to give you the opportunity to experience taking to the air. A certified flight instructor will demonstrate preflight and flying techniques before you climb aboard, will taxi down the runway and before you know it, you are in the air! During the flight, you will have the opportunity to control the plane through the sky and try out several maneuvers before the pilot takes over again for landing. At the subsequent debriefing, guests pen their first logbook entry and review their performance.
