Airline Pilot

Here are the possibilities for an Airline Pilot:

  • Mainline Carrier: Transport passengers to destinations around the world. American, Delta, and United are a few examples of mainline carriers.
  • Low-cost carrier: Transport passengers to domestic and some international destinations for an airline that uses a no-frills business model of lower fares and fewer comforts. A few examples are JetBlue, Spirit, and Southwest.
  • Regional airline: Transport passengers domestically with some limited international destinations on a smaller airline that operates “regionally” under one or more mainline brands. For example, Compass Airlines operates flights as American Eagle and Delta Connection; ExpressJet Airlines operates as American Eagle, Delta Connection, and United Express; and Mesa Airlines operates as American Eagle and United Express flights.
  • Cargo carrier: Transport cargo around the world for brands such as FedEx, UPS, and USPS.
  • Freight airline: Operate flights on subcontracts to a cargo carrier like FedEx or UPS. May have less restrictive requirements for pilot certifications than some other pilot career options.
