Direct Entry Captain
Recognizing Experience
At GoJet, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to pilot hiring. Experienced pilots can join the team as a Captain rather than a First Officer. Our program is ideal for First Officers who meet Captain requirements but are facing long upgrade times.

Hear From Our Crew
Since joining GoJet through the Wingman Program, I can honestly say everyone has been approachable and open to communication. You never feel alone on this journey with GoJet.
Captain | Ali Al Hihi
I was drawn to GoJet Airlines because of the people. I attended a job fair and met some amazing recruiters... When I spoke with them, I felt that GoJet was definitely the path I wanted to follow. It’s a great group of people, and it hasn’t disappointed. Here at GoJet, we have a real community that supports each other, with an open-door policy where everyone is open to teaching and learning from one another.

I believe GoJet offers the most in terms of the quality of people you fly with every day. I love my coworkers, and I love that GoJet Airlines provides the option to flow to United through the Aviate program.
