Overview
W Aviation operates business jets and turboprops on charter and management contracts. Like most Part 135 operators, its hiring need is steady rather than seasonal: type-rated pilots available across several bases, with the recency and total time to meet Part 135 requirements.
The challenge
Managing aircraft for multiple owners means the roster has to cover different types and different bases at the same time. Posting each role separately on general job boards produced overlapping applicant pools and a lot of manual cross-referencing.
How W Aviation uses FlyHire
Each role is posted with its type rating, minimums, and base, and matching handles the rest.
Candidate search across the FlyHire network surfaces pilots who fit more than one open role, so one conversation can cover several seats.
Verified logbook hours and certificates on every profile remove the back-and-forth of confirming qualifications.
The pipeline view tracks every candidate from first contact to signed offer.
What changed
The team stopped rebuilding the same candidate list for every opening. Pilots who fit the fleet are visible across roles, and the hiring team spends its time on interviews and offers rather than on verification.
Why it matters
An aircraft management company sells reliability to owners. A roster built on verified qualifications and a repeatable pipeline is part of that promise, and FlyHire is where W Aviation builds it.
