About the Role As a Quick Upgrade Captain at JSX, you will operate our aircraft safely, efficiently, and in full compliance, while delivering exceptional service to every flight. Typical schedules average 3‑5 legs per day over 14‑16 days per month, prioritizing work‑life balance. A Day in the Life Pre‑Flight Preparation Your day begins one hour prior to departure, giving you ample time to: Review key flight details in Traxxall, including maintenance status, NOTAMs, fuel loads, weather conditions, and routing. Collaborate with the Captain to discuss departure and arrival strategies, including diversion planning if needed. Perform all required pre‑flight checks, safety procedures, and flows to ensure the aircraft is clear.

Maintain real‑time communication with Mission Control (Dispatch), Ground Operations, ATC, and your Flight Attendant. Serve as the secondary voice to the Captain in decision‑making, ready to act quickly and confidently in dynamic conditions.
