A career move reaches beyond the cockpit.
A new position can change a pilot’s schedule, home base, or time away. Our career work examines the tradeoffs of airline and corporate flying, from seniority to life in a small flight department.
Independent aviation projects
Research, career insight, and tools for professional pilots in airline and corporate aviation.
The portfolio
ATNR’s portfolio connects workforce research and hiring analysis with the practical side of professional flying: career moves, recurrent training, useful software, and a community of peers.
The developments shaping aviation, with the context behind the headlines.
Who’s entering the cockpit, who’s moving on, and what it means for the pilot workforce.
A flying career is more than a job offer. Understand the choices that come with it.
Less time sorting schedules and documents. More time prepared for the trip ahead.
The forces behind pilot hiring—from airline fleet plans to corporate crew needs.
A hiring event concept built around the conversations pilots need to have.
A planned job-search resource for the many ways to make a living flying.
A meeting place for 787 pilots who know the long hours, distant layovers, and camaraderie of ultra-long-haul flying.
Give an aviation idea its first serious test—and a plan for what comes next.

Our approach
A new position can change a pilot’s schedule, home base, or time away. Our career work examines the tradeoffs of airline and corporate flying, from seniority to life in a small flight department.
Fleet changes, training availability, and crew experience influence when an airline or corporate flight department can bring pilots aboard. Our research looks at the conditions behind the openings.
Changing schedules, time zones, and company procedures are part of the design problem. Our software concepts start with the tasks pilots already do.
