Browse 417 JobsAeroScout lists live first officer and second in command jobs from airlines and operators worldwide, refreshed every 24 hours. The right seat is where most professional pilots start their airline and turbine careers, so these roles usually carry lower hour requirements than a command seat and are the most common first step after training.
Requirements vary, but many first officer roles want a commercial licence with a multi engine instrument rating and a frozen or full ATPL, and some airlines hire straight from approved cadet programs. In business aviation and on larger aircraft, the second in command seat is a strong way to build turbine and type experience toward a future command.
If you are just starting out, look at cadet routes and airline first officer openings. When you have the hours and command experience, the captain roles are the next move.
First officer pay varies by airline and aircraft, from regional and turboprop right seats up to wide body first officer seats at major carriers. Browse the live right seat openings below and apply direct to the airline or operator.
