SPIFR HAA Line Pilot - 65k New Hire Retention Bonus with Annual Reoccurring Bonuses Thereafter

Make a Difference When it Matters Most.

Using your skills as a professional pilot to give someone their best chance of survival on the worst day of their life is unique to the HAA industry. Few aviation careers are as rewarding or impactful.

If you’re passionate about flying, possess a safety-first mentality, and want to make a genuine difference in your community, HALO Flight would like to meet you.

Many HAA pilots are fully capable of flying IFR but spend their careers limited by VFR-only aircraft or programs. If you’re tired of weather turnarounds and being grounded when you’re fully qualified to continue the mission safely under IFR, come put your instrument skills to work.

Every aircraft in our Bell 407GXi fleet is equipped with the IFR Configuration Kit, so every aircraft you fly—including the spare—is IFR capable. If you’re qualified but not currently instrument current, IFR training may be available for highly qualified candidates.

A Fleet You’ll Enjoy Flying

Are you tired of flying aging aircraft with inconsistent equipment and configurations? At HALO Flight, every Bell 407GXi is maintained to the same high standard and configured identically, giving you consistency, familiarity, and confidence every time you step into the cockpit.

As of mid July 2026 , our fleet total times are:

· 3,068 hours

· 2,350 hours

· 2,222 hours

· 717 hours

· 275 hours

· 138 hours

We’re continuing to invest in our fleet with a brand-new Bell 407GXi already on order and scheduled for delivery in May 2027 .

A modern, standardized fleet simply provides a safer, more professional, and more enjoyable flying experience.
