Contract Pilot Services

Experienced contract Captains and First Officers.

JO Jet Management provides type-rated, current contract flight crew for aircraft owners requiring temporary or long-term cockpit support — on a single trip, a recurring schedule, or a multi-month assignment.

Crew assignments

Cockpit support, scoped to the mission.

Each assignment is matched to the aircraft type, the route, and the owner's operating standards. Every contract pilot we provide is current, insured and vetted to the same criteria we apply to managed-aircraft crew.

01

Contract Captains

Type-rated, current and PIC-qualified Captains available for individual trips, extended assignments or recurring schedules.

02

Contract First Officers

Type-rated, SIC-qualified First Officers paired with the owner's Captain or a JO Jet Captain for two-pilot operations.

03

Ferry Flights

Crew for one-way repositioning, post-maintenance flights, factory deliveries and pre-buy demonstration trips.

04

Vacation Coverage

Coverage for the owner's regular flight crew during PTO, training, recurrent simulator events or medical leave.

05

Aircraft Repositioning

Repositioning between bases, MRO facilities, paint and interior shops, or seasonal hangar locations.

06

International Operations

Crews experienced in transatlantic, transpacific and South American operations, with current passports, visas and ICAO documentation.

Standards

Current, qualified, and ready to fly.

Every contract pilot we supply holds an ATP certificate, a current type rating in the aircraft, a first-class medical, and recent recurrent training with a recognized provider. Backgrounds, references and proficiency are verified for each assignment.

Owners receive a crew brief in advance of every trip — pilot biographies, currency, training history and contact information — so the cockpit is never a question.
