  • Multi-engine time = 3000 hours/2000 hours as PIC.

  • Previous Part 135 experience. This is preferred, but not required.
  • Compliant with ICAO Annex I - 2.1.1.0. As it pertains to aircraft engaged in international commercial air transport operations with more than one pilot.
  • CANPASS authorization. You'll need the ability to obtain and maintain CANPASS authorization for unrestricted travel to/from Canada as a commercial pilot.
  • Strong customer service skills. Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) will need to be demonstrated with all levels of employees and clients. Communication must always be delivered with a superior level of professionalism.
  • High level of detail. You'll need to be highly organized with the ability to thrive in changing environments and the flexibility for frequently changing priorities.
  • Excellent time management skills. You'll need to be able to work on an on-call basis, with the ability to work well under pressure and to multi-task. Silver Air is a 24/7 organization, so this role requires a flexible schedule, including nights, weekends, and Holidays.
  • Strong people skills. You'll need to be a team player who can provide valued contributions to our business and clients.
