Pilot recruitment

The careers site offers two routes in: job listings by region (Europe, Middle East, Asia-Pacific, US) and « Jet Aviation Staffing », a crew placement service for owners and operators, with registration on the « Staffing Marketplace ».

Give yourself every chance
A captain selection focuses on leadership, decision-making and crew management: prepare real situations, what you decided and why.
Expect an in-depth technical interview and a simulator session: go over abnormal procedures and the performance of your type.
Some airlines give aptitude tests to captains too: a refresher on the arithmetic and attention exercises never hurts.
