What Employers Look For

The qualifications that appear most often in pilot jobs.

  • Federal Aviation Administration Airline Transport Pilot certificate or Commercial Pilot certificate
  • Minimum total flight hours as specified by the operator or regulatory requirement
  • Valid first- or second-class FAA medical certificate
  • Current instrument rating and demonstrated instrument flight proficiency
  • Type rating or willingness to complete type rating training for specific aircraft
  • Strong crew resource management skills and experience operating in multi-crew environments

Tips for Your Pilot Job Search

Tailor your logbook summary carefully

Recruiters scan for total flight hours, pilot-in-command time, and specific aircraft type hours before reading anything else. Pull those numbers to the top of your resume in a dedicated flight time summary so nothing gets buried in your work history.

Apply early to roles that fit

Migrate Mate lists pilot openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.

Match certificate and rating requirements exactly

Every posting specifies the required certificates and ratings, such as ATP, CPL, CFI, or type ratings for specific aircraft. If your credentials don't match the minimums listed, your application is filtered out automatically, so only apply where you genuinely qualify.

Prepare your performance records before applying

Many operators require recent training records, check ride results, and your last few years of aviation medical certificates during screening. Gathering these before you start applying saves you from delays when a hiring team requests them quickly.

Practice CRM and scenario questions out loud

Aviation interviews consistently include crew resource management and judgment scenarios, not just technical questions. Rehearse real situations where you had to communicate a safety concern or manage an abnormal procedure, using clear, first-person language without minimizing your role.

Follow up after simulator evaluations

After a simulator check or technical interview, send a brief, professional follow-up that references one specific maneuver or decision point from the session. It signals attentiveness to detail and reinforces the impression you left with the evaluation team.

Pilot Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies are hiring the most pilots?

The companies hiring the most pilots right now include Pilot Travel Centers, Life Time, and Peloton Interactive, with the largest share of openings in Texas, New York, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Regional carriers and cargo operators tend to post the highest volume of openings at any given time.

How many pilot jobs are remote?

About 6% of pilot openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how few flight operations can be performed off-site. The sub-areas most likely to include remote or hybrid arrangements are ground instruction, simulator training, and aviation management or dispatch roles attached to pilot departments.

How do you become a pilot?

You start by earning a student pilot certificate, then build flight hours toward a private pilot certificate, which covers basic solo and cross-country flight. From there you add an instrument rating, then a commercial pilot certificate. Most airline-track pilots pursue a flight instructor certificate to build hours efficiently before pursuing an Airline Transport Pilot certificate, which is required for captain roles at commercial carriers.

Can you get hired as a pilot with little or no experience?

Entry points for low-experience pilots include flight instructor positions, banner towing, pipeline patrol, and skydive pilot roles, all of which are designed to build hours. Regional airlines and commuter carriers also run cadet and flow-through programs that hire pilots earlier in their career with a structured path toward captain upgrades as hours accumulate.

What does the pilot interview process look like?

Most pilot hiring processes start with an application review and a phone screen focused on your logbook and certificate history. Qualified candidates typically move to a technical interview covering aircraft systems, regulations, and weather interpretation, followed by a simulator evaluation in the operator's fleet type. A final interview with chief pilots or HR assessing crew resource management judgment usually closes the process before a conditional offer is made.

Where can I find and apply to pilot jobs?

You can find and apply to pilot jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your certificate level, ratings, and aircraft experience, then apply directly to each opening that fits.
