Browse 734 JobsAeroScout lists live captain jobs from airlines and operators worldwide, refreshed every 24 hours, with more than 700 command seats open right now. Roles span airline flight decks, cargo, business aviation and charter, and every listing shows the aircraft, the base and, where it is published, the pay, with a link straight to the operator.
A command seat asks more of you than the right seat. Most captain roles want an ATPL, a solid base of pilot in command time, and often a type rating on the aircraft, though many operators run direct entry captain hiring and will train the rating for the right candidate. On smaller turboprops and single pilot Part 135 aircraft, a first command can come earlier than pilots expect.
You can filter commands by the flying you want, from airline and business aviation to King Air and jet types. If you are working toward your first command, the first officer roles are the step before.
Pay for captains ranges widely by aircraft and operator, from turboprop commands up to senior wide body and large cabin jet seats that reach well into six figures. Browse the live command seats below and apply direct.

It varies by operator and aircraft. Airline command usually needs an ATPL and a strong base of pilot in command time, often several thousand hours, but a first command on a single pilot Part 135 turboprop can come much earlier. Each listing states its own minimums.
A direct entry captain is an experienced pilot hired straight into a command seat rather than upgrading internally. Airlines and operators use it when they expand quickly. It usually needs the aircraft type rating or a willingness to complete the rating during training.
For jets and larger turboprops, yes. Many operators will fund the type rating for the right candidate, and some require you to hold it already. Smaller aircraft may need only a sign off rather than a full type rating.
Captain pay ranges widely by aircraft and operator, from turboprop commands upward to senior wide body and large cabin jet seats that reach well into six figures, usually with benefits on top. Each listing shows the operator figure where it is published.
