We believe that the journey is just as important as the destination, and every day, we strive to create a Joyful, Simple eXperience for our Customers. Join us, and find your runway to growth, innovation, and success.

As a Quick Upgrade Captain, you’ll be at the controls of one of the most innovative aviation experiences in the industry. Your mission is to operate our aircraft safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with all regulations, 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 and ensuring you return to your home base every night.

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.

Operate the aircraft in full compliance with FAA regulations, JSX SOPs, and industry safety standards. 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.

• Assist with quick turn tasks, including light cabin tidying: clean tray tables, cross seatbelts, collect trash, and support the Flight Attendant as needed to ensure an on‑time departure.
• Log any maintenance in Traxxall and communicate critical updates to Mission Control.

Additional responsibilities include:

• Participating in recurrent training and performance evaluations to maintain proficiency and grow in your career.
• Stepping in to assist with baggage handling or other duties at smaller airports where ground support is limited.
• Consistently representing JSX with the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and customer service, both in and out of the flight deck.

• You’re more than a number: at JSX, you’re a valued crew member, not just a call sign.
• No two days are the same: every flight brings unique challenges and opportunities to shine.
• You’re part of the entire customer journey, delivering hospitality in the air and on the ground.
• Path to Captain: when operational need arises, you will be the first to upgrade and step into the left seat.

• Adaptable: thrive in fast‑paced, dynamic environments.
• Detail‑Oriented: nothing gets past you, from preflight checks to final shutdown.
• Critical Thinker: quickly assess situations and make sound, safety‑first decisions.
• Customer‑Centric: take pride in making every passenger feel welcomed and cared for.
• Communicative: share information clearly and keep everyone in the loop.
• Proactive: anticipate needs, take initiative, and solve problems before they arise.
• Safety‑Focused: instinctively prioritize safety in every action and hold yourself and others accountable.
• Entrepreneurial Spirit: bring energy, ownership, and creativity to your role, always looking for ways to improve processes and elevate the customer experience.
