Entry Level Pilot Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level pilot job?

Entry level pilot employers look for FAA certifications, logged flight hours, and any hands-on training through flight school, internships, or cadet programs. A commercial pilot certificate with instrument rating is typically the baseline. Candidates who can show simulator hours, a clean safety record, and references from flight instructors tend to stand out at this stage, even with limited professional experience.

Which companies hire entry level pilots?

Companies hiring entry level pilots right now include PHI Air Medical, Shield AI, and Air Methods, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Regional airlines, charter operators, cargo carriers, and flight training organizations are among the most active employers welcoming candidates at the junior level.

Are there remote entry level pilot jobs?

Yes, though most pilot roles are on-site by nature. About 0% of entry level pilot openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to cover ground-based functions like dispatch coordination, flight operations support, or aviation safety analysis rather than active flight duties.

Are these new grad pilot jobs?

Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior pilot roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of professional experience, accepts flight school training or internship hours in place of a long work history, or explicitly invites candidates who hold their certifications but are building their first hours in a professional setting.

Which industries hire the most entry level pilots?

Entry level pilot roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Aerospace & Defense, and Agriculture & Farming, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the junior level because they operate structured cadet and first-officer pipelines that are designed to develop pilots with limited commercial hours into qualified crew members over time.
