FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a specific license to apply for pilot jobs?

Yes. Most aviation operators require a commercial pilot license (CPL) or airline transport pilot license (ATPL), depending on the role. Always review the requirements listed in each job description before applying, as some positions may be locked if you do not meet the minimum qualifications.

How do I stand out when applying for aviation jobs?

To stand out, present a professional, well-structured resume that clearly highlights your flight experience, recent flight hours, type ratings, and certifications. Tailor your application to each role by emphasizing the qualifications that match the operator’s needs, and include a concise cover letter that explains why you are a strong fit for the position. Emphasize your safety record, adaptability, and crew resource management (CRM) skills, and ensure your information is consistent, accurate, and easy to review so recruiters can quickly identify your qualifications.

Do you list entry-level pilot jobs or only experienced positions?

We offer opportunities for pilots at every stage of their career, from flight instructors and first officers to captains and training roles. Whether you’re just getting started or ready to take the next step, you’ll find jobs and resources that align with where you are in your journey.

Are type ratings required for every pilot job?

Not always. Some operators provide training for successful candidates, while others require a current type rating on a specific aircraft. Each job listing will state whether a type rating is required. In some cases, positions that require a type rating may be locked unless you meet that qualification.

How often are new pilot jobs posted?

New opportunities are added regularly. We recommend setting up job alerts so you don’t miss roles that match your qualifications. Keep in mind that fewer jobs may be posted on weekends and holidays.

Does FlightHired charge pilots to apply for jobs?

FlightHired is free to join for pilots because our goal is to simplify your career journey, not add unnecessary costs. In the future, a small monthly subscription may be introduced for access to job listings to help fund new and improved site features, while applying to jobs will always remain free.
