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
Ali Al Hihi
Captain
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.
Lisa Marsh
Captain
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.
Gil Greenlow
Captain
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.
