I’m not a fan of the big aviation job boards—and if you’re an OG reader, you already know that.
For low-time pilots, they’re hardly worth their price.
It’s mostly contract and corporate positions that are advertised, meaning ATP-like qualifications required.
However, a popular one has pleasantly surprised me this month.
It had 5 real low-time pilot jobs posted!
THAT, is worth the $20 they charge in my opinion.
I even landed my next job through it.
Which one am I talking about? climbto350.
So yes, I take back what I said, climbto350 is NOT a scam.
Granted, all 5 were C182 jump pilot jobs. It’s about the time of year dropzones are hiring pilots, so I don’t expect to see ANY other actual low-time jobs posted there anytime soon.
And I actually knew 3 of those were hiring, BEFORE they were even advertised on climbto350.
Doing your own research still beats solely relying on job boards.
But they are a nice addition to your tools in seasonal hiring like this…
Good luck to all those applying for said jump pilot jobs. I interviewed for all 5, so if you have questions, feel free to ask.

P.S: there’s probably 3 left, and they are definitely swamped with resumes already.
