Pilots
Skyward offers the optimal work-life balance with industry-leading pay scales, benefits, and schedule options. Whether you want to be home-based, live near one of our bases, prefer a rotation schedule, or enjoy the flexibility of a bid-model, Skyward has every option so you can choose the best path for you and your family.
Skyward has innovative schedule solutions that offer the best features of all schedule types. Flight crews can customize their schedule each month with our bid-model, choosing from several options that allow each pilot to control their pay and number of working days. For those that would rather set it and forget it, Skyward also offers an 8/6 rotation, coupled with PTO and trading, for when personal commitments arise.
We understand that choosing the best flight department to join can be a challenging decision. Skyward is committed to offering great benefits, schedule, and pay without misleading sales tactics. We want you to join our team if what we offer is truly the best fit for you.
