Start your career as a regional First Officer, fighting for good schedules and better pay. Your goal? Build experience, earn your Captain upgrade, and eventually reach a major airline. But in this industry, seniority is everything - and you're starting at zero.
This isn't a flight simulator. It's a pilot career simulator.
Every flight is a series of timed decisions and quick-time events. Handle engine failures, navigate severe turbulence, respond to passenger medical emergencies, and make split-second safety calls. Your performance directly impacts your reputation scores - and one catastrophic failure or series of poor decisions can end your career permanently. Choose wisely.
Bid smart. Fly safe. Build your reputation.
Master the seniority-based schedule bidding system. Senior pilots get first choice - you get what's left. Choose between exhausting four-day trips with better pay or quick turns that keep you home.
Watch your monthly pay grow from peanuts as a regional First Officer to substantial Captain wages. Each flight adds to your total hours. Each successful event builds your reputation. Each level gained makes you a better pilot.
But remember - poor performance affects your scores. Bad scores mean a struggling career.
In an industry where seniority determines your schedule, your base, and your quality of life - can you make it to the left seat?
