Pilot's Corner

It's a new approach to pilot work/life balance. You actually have a balance.

Just as DayJet™ strives to enhance our customers' quality of life through efficient and affordable regional air travel, we employ innovative practices to positively impact the lives of our pilots. Our approach embodies the core principle of work/life balance.

The DayJet work/life equation

Pilot quality of life at DayJet will surpass all other air carrier practices to date. DayJet pilots have a predictable work schedule that allows them to return home virtually every day, so you can build a life outside of work. Our daily work shifts are well below crew duty time limits. We assign pilots to ten-hour shifts and operate two shifts daily, Monday through Friday, so you fly comfortable hours, avoid fatigue and help create a culture of safety.

All shifts are rotated and assignments to aircraft movements are designed to provide a fair and equitable lifestyle. Each pilot's shift begins and ends at a home base, called a DayBase. DayBases will be small to medium in size, providing an unparalleled opportunity for pilots to build strong interaction with the company, community, and each other.

Joy at the control

You'll be flying the industry's newest, most advanced fleet of Eclipse 500™ very light jet (VLJ) aircraft - recently named one of "The 11 Coolest New Products on the Planet". by Business 2.0 (April 2007). And because our per-seat, on-demand service is truly on-demand, no two days of flying are ever quite the same, making your job that much more interesting.
