- Airline Transport Pilot certificate with appropriate category and class ratings
- FAA First Class medical certificate maintained throughout employment

Tips for Your Corporate Pilot Job Search
Tailor your resume to the aircraft
List every aircraft type you're typed or endorsed in, including total hours by airframe. Hiring managers scan for specific equipment matches before reading anything else, so burying your aircraft experience in a summary paragraph costs you interviews.
Get your ATP certificate before applying
Most corporate flight departments require an Airline Transport Pilot certificate, not just a commercial license. If you're close to the ATP minimums, finish the certificate first. Applying without it to roles that list it as required wastes everyone's time.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists corporate pilot openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match your aircraft type and experience level and apply directly to each listing.
Research the flight department's operation
Before your interview, find out whether the department operates domestically, internationally, or both, and what aircraft they fly. Asking informed questions about their routing patterns and fleet signals genuine operational fit, not just job-hunting desperation.
Prepare for a sim evaluation, not just questions
Corporate pilot interviews almost always include a simulator check or oral systems evaluation on the specific airframe. Review your aircraft POH, emergency procedures, and systems cold. Failing the technical portion after a strong HR interview is the most common late-stage washout.
Negotiate duty-day limits and scheduling upfront
Corporate flying schedules vary dramatically between flight departments. Ask directly about on-call expectations, duty-day policies, and how deadhead travel is counted. These details affect quality of life more than base pay and are far easier to clarify before you accept than after.
Corporate Pilot Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most corporate pilots?
Nutrien, Battelle, and JBS Foods are hiring the most corporate pilots right now, with openings concentrated in Ohio, Tennessee, and Illinois, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Fractional operators and large corporate flight departments tend to post the highest volume of roles consistently.
How many corporate pilot jobs are remote?
About 100% of corporate pilot openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which reflects the hands-on nature of the role. The positions most likely to include remote or flexible scheduling are chief pilot and director of aviation roles that carry significant administrative oversight responsibilities alongside flight duties.
How do you become a corporate pilot?
Start by earning your private pilot certificate, then build hours through your instrument, commercial, and multi-engine ratings. Accumulate flight time through flight instructing, banner towing, charter flying, or regional airline work. Once you meet ATP minimums, earn the certificate, pursue a type rating in a business jet, and target entry-level first officer roles at fractional or charter operators to gain corporate-specific experience.
Can you get hired as a corporate pilot with little experience?
Entry-level corporate pilot roles exist, but they typically require a commercial certificate, instrument rating, and multi-engine time at a minimum. Fractional operators and smaller charter companies hire pilots closer to ATP minimums as first officers, which is the most realistic path in. Building Part 135 charter time first gives you a strong competitive edge over candidates coming straight from flight training.
What does the corporate pilot interview process look like?
Most corporate pilot hiring processes include an initial phone screen with HR or the chief pilot, followed by an in-person interview covering your flight experience, CRM philosophy, and professional background. A simulator evaluation or structured oral exam on your aircraft systems almost always follows. Some flight departments add a check ride or line observation before extending an offer.
Where can I find and apply to corporate pilot jobs?
You can find and apply to corporate pilot jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from flight departments, fractional operators, and charter companies across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your aircraft type and experience, then apply directly to each opening that fits.
