WHAT RETIRED AIRLINE PILOTS CAN DO TO KEEP FLYING

Healthy, energetic senior pilots are reaching the mandatory retirement age in waves and have to retire from decades-long careers as commercial pilots. You likely have thousands of hours of flying under your belt and still have a passion for flying. So the real question is: what can retired airline pilots do to keep flying, while still enjoying some benefits of the retired lifestyle?

As you approach mandatory retirement, you may be looking forward to indulging in a favorite hobby or leisure activity, traveling, doing volunteer work and spending time with family and friends. You may also want to continue to fly professionally and are wondering how to have the best of both worlds.

The next stage of your career can be a combination of the two. As a Part 135, on-demand air taxi or corporate/charter pilot you can still do what you love – FLY.

Here at ImagineAir, we are revolutionizing aviation, making the benefits of private air travel more convenient and accessible than ever before. We service thousands of lightly utilized airports, most within 10-15 minutes of passengers’ homes and destinations. We turn the hassle of a 3-8 hour drive into a 1 to 2 hour flight, helping our customers claim back their time.

At ImagineAir, we offer our pilots meaningful, uncommon lifestyle benefits including:

1. COMMUNITY

ImagineAir is a company run by pilots for pilots. You’ll have the joy of being part of a team of exceptional pilots that are changing the world of aviation. Retired airline pilots also have an outstanding opportunity to mentor the next generation of pilots.

3. VARIETY

Our pilots look forward to varying flight routes that keep the experience interesting and diverse.

4. CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

You’ll fly newer, high-tech aircraft. We operate the largest fleet of Cirrus SR-22-GTS aircraft, with advanced avionics.

The next stage of your flying career can be equally exciting and potentially more rewarding. If you spend that time at ImagineAir, you’d spend your days helping to revolutionize how people travel and be part of a talented, genuine, passionate team.
