Overview
SkyWest Airlines is recruiting first officers across multiple United States domiciles, with aircraft assignment governed by seniority. The first officer assists the pilot in command with safe and efficient flight conduct, supports prompt departures, and may operate the controls during taxi, take-off, cruise, and landing as assigned. Applicants need commercial multi-engine and instrument credentials, current medical fitness, English endorsement, radio authorisation, work and travel eligibility, and full schedule flexibility. The vacancy requires applicants to be within three months of their applicable FAA experience threshold rather than publishing one universal total-time minimum.
