FAQs About Charter & Flight Ops Recruiting

Beyond verifying flight hours and certificates, we look for the “charter mindset.” This includes a candidate’s ability to handle changing schedules, interact professionally with high-net-worth individuals, and maintain a focus on safety in a high-utilization environment.

Absolutely. We maintain a deep database of pilots with current ratings on popular charter platforms, from Pilatus and King Airs to long-range Globals and Gulfstreams.

Experienced Dispatchers are often the unsung heroes of an operation. We vet for specific experience in international operations, ETOPS, and proficiency with common flight planning software like ForeFlight or ARINCDirect.

While our focus is on permanent placements, we understand the volatility of the industry and can help you identify qualified contract pilots for short-term supplemental lift or crew coverage.
