Careers

Although flying for a major airline is the goal for many aspiring aviators, many pilots begin their airline careers at a regional operator.

Although pilot hiring has been a hot topic in recent years, there is another field in the aviation industry with growing job prospects.

Pilots fly all around the world and many aviators are drawn to the profession in part due to the opportunity to consistently travel.

Even as hiring trends change, some carriers are still offering lucrative sign-on bonuses to new pilots with some nearing $200,000.

This additional funding is part of the FAA’s Aviation Workforce Development Grants program, which provides support to aviation-related education institutions.
