Flying Company

Flying Company is an online platform for pilot hiring. Aircraft owners and operators use it to find, assess, hire, and pay pilots. The site describes it as a way to staff privately flown aircraft.

The process has five steps. First, a user builds an aircraft profile and posts a trip. Qualified pilots are notified. Then pilots submit quotes through the platform. Both sides sign an industry standard Pilot Services Agreement. Payment runs through Stripe, and receipts and 1099 forms are provided automatically.

Pilots can download certificates and credentials. The site says this helps verify qualifications through the FAA.

The platform includes a pilot market tool. It shows how many pilots are qualified for an aircraft type. The tool includes 18 months of trends, a geographic search within 50 to 500 nautical miles, and real world day rates from contract trips.

The site names several user groups. These are management companies, corporate flight departments, owner operators, aircraft brokers, OEMs, and prospective buyers. The site says some management companies and Fortune 500 flight departments use the platform.

The company also partners with owner associations. It builds white labeled platforms for their members. The site says each platform includes the association's standard operating procedures, training programs, and pilot standards.

The site offers video tutorials for operators and pilots. It also has a help center, a roadmap, a changelog, and a list of frequently asked questions.
