What does it take to become a Piedmont pilot?

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines, Piedmont Airlines offers a level of stability and operational certainty that is unmatched in the regional industry. The upcoming addition of Embraer 175s to our fleet is a testament to our growth and longevity, and our pilots are soaring into the future.

As interest in Piedmont continues to grow, our recruiters are focused on identifying candidates who demonstrate the skills and mindset needed to succeed on day one. 

Here’s what our recruiting team looks for in strong pilot prospects:

1. Quality flight time.

While you do have to meet minimum flight time requirements, consider how you can really make that time count and focus on getting the best flight time you can.

2. Attention to detail and a focus on safety.

Safety is at the core of Piedmont’s culture. Pilots who consistently follow procedures, maintain accuracy, and demonstrate solid judgment stand out immediately.

3. Networking.

Meet our recruiters in person! We attend events throughout the year, from major air shows to university events. Connect with us to learn how to make your application stand out.
