What is a Contract Pilot?
A contract pilot is a qualified, type-rated pilot hired on a temporary or trip-by-trip basis to operate an aircraft. Contract pilots provide flexible staffing solutions for flight departments, covering trips, supplementing full-time crews, or supporting aircraft transitions.
Operators use contract pilots to maintain operational efficiency without the overhead of full-time staffing, especially during peak travel periods, maintenance coverage, or last-minute trip requests.

Finding qualified contract pilots can be time-consuming when relying on traditional methods like phone calls, emails, or personal networks. CrewBlast simplifies this process by allowing operators to instantly send trip requests to available pilots based on aircraft type and location.
