What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in A320 first officer jobs.
- FAA Airline Transport Pilot certificate with A320 type rating required
- Minimum 1,500 total flight hours with multi-engine instrument time
- Current FAA First Class Medical Certificate in good standing
- Proficiency in Airbus fly-by-wire normal and non-normal procedures

- Strong crew resource management skills and demonstrated Crew Coordination performance
Tips for Your A320 First Officer Job Search
Tailor your logbook summary section
Recruiters screening a320 first officer applications want your Airbus type hours front and center. Break out your A320 family time separately from total flight time, and list your most recent recency dates so nothing has to be inferred from raw totals.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists a320 first officer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Match your resume to each airline's fleet
If you're applying to a carrier that operates A320neo variants, call out your CFM LEAP or IAE V2500 experience explicitly. Operators treat narrowbody and neo-series experience as meaningfully different, and your application should reflect which aircraft you actually know.
Prepare for LOFT scenarios in sims
Most major and regional carriers conducting A320 first officer interviews run a Line-Oriented Flight Training scenario, not just maneuvers. Know your limitations section cold, rehearse crew resource management callouts, and expect evaluators to introduce non-normal procedures mid-scenario without warning.
Get your references to speak to CRM
Airline hiring boards routinely contact references specifically about how you perform under pressure and communicate in the cockpit. Brief your references on the crew resource management moments you want them to highlight, so their answers reinforce your interview narrative.
Negotiate schedule before you negotiate pay
At most carriers, your initial base, reserve obligations, and commuter protection policies are more negotiable than the published pay scale suggests. Ask about your projected timeline off reserve and whether the base assignment has bidding flexibility before you sign anything.
A320 First Officer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How many a320 first officer jobs are remote?
About 0% of a320 first officer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that most line flying duties require physical presence at a crew base. The sub-areas most compatible with remote or flexible arrangements include simulator instruction, ground school instruction, and training curriculum development roles tied to the A320 fleet.
How do you become a a320 first officer?
You first earn your FAA Airline Transport Pilot certificate, then complete an A320 type rating through an FAA-approved training center or airline-sponsored program. After that, you apply to carriers actively hiring for the aircraft, pass a simulator evaluation and oral technical review, and complete initial operating experience flying revenue flights with a check airman before being released to the line.
Can you get hired as a a320 first officer with no prior Airbus experience?
Yes, many carriers hire pilots without prior Airbus time and sponsor the A320 type rating themselves during new hire training. What matters most at that stage is your total flight hours, instrument and multi-engine time, ATP certificate status, and your performance in the simulator evaluation, since the type rating itself is taught from scratch during the airline's ground school and sim training block.
What does the a320 first officer interview process look like?
Most airline hiring processes for a320 first officers include a technical phone screen, an in-person or virtual interview covering systems knowledge and CRM scenarios, a simulator evaluation in the A320 or a similar fly-by-wire aircraft, and a background and records review. Some carriers also include a panel interview with chief pilots and a psychological or cognitive assessment before a conditional job offer is extended.
Where can I find and apply to a320 first officer jobs?
You can find and apply to a320 first officer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your type rating, hours, and schedule preferences, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
