We are excited to announce here for the first time that we are now offering our $1,000 post-tax pilot referral bonus to AP3 and PSP students. All students enrolled in our Airline Pilot Pathway Program (AP3
) or our new Preferred School Program (PSP) who have completed testing and earned a conditional job offer (CJO) are eligible.
Here’s how it works:
- CJO recommends ExpressJet to a pilot
- That pilot lists the student as their referrer in their interview and their first day at ExpressJet
- Once the referred pilot successfully completes training, $1,000 is put into a “bank” under the CJO’s name
- When the CJO completes training at ExpressJet, they will receive all banked referral bonuses

There is no limit to the number of referrals a student can make, and all referral bonuses are worth $1,000 each with no additional tax taken out. That means that if you recommend 10 pilots who all successfully complete ExpressJet’s training, you’ll receive a check for $10,000 once you’re here! That’s it. There’s no catch, but you can learn more at expressjet.com/pilots.
