Buckley Pilot Job

Q: May I visit the Squadron?

A: Yes! We encourage you to come meet us and see our operation. Each hiring board will have associated Rush Events posted on the website for meet and greets. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate visitor passes outside of these Rush Events. If you are able to get on base, please feel free to set up a time to visit.

Q: Will you accept applications from those needing an Exception to Policy?

A: Please reference our requirements for this UPT board on this website. If you meet the qualifications, apply. If you get hired and need an ETP we will work that waiver at that time.

​Q: Do you have any advice?

A: Yes, Lt Col(ret) Reeman made a video for applicants in 2012.

Q: Will you tell me if I have a chance to get hired?

A: These questions are impossible to answer as the hiring board decides who is competitive both during, and after application review, meet and greets, and interviews. Do not send emails to the hiring board POC asking if you are competitive for this hiring board, every hiring board is different

Q: I’m a 747 Captain with 1,000,000 hours of flight time, am I experienced?

A: Not for the context of our hiring boards. If you are a current military pilot you would apply for our “Military Pilot board.” If you are a civilian pilot (or not a pilot at all) and have never been to UPT you would apply for our “Civilian Pilot board.”
