JetPro Pilots
The company provides flight crews and maintenance technicians to corporations and individual business aircraft owners.
What It Is: An Indiana-based staffing company that provides temporary and permanent placement of pilots, flight attendants, and maintenance technicians for corporate flight departments and individual business aircraft operators.
How It Grew: Corporate pilot Scott Jeppson, airline pilot Jack Arnold, and private pilot Ralph Marcuccilli met in 2008 to solve problems in the independent corporate pilot and flight attendant industry. Among issues they considered: the difficulty of matching qualified crew with flight department needs, contractor crewmembers flying without insurance, the need simplifying expense tracking, and HR/IRS challenges.
Shortly thereafter, JetPro began working on a second software application, CrewTrac. Rolled out in 2017 and customizable for individual clients, this enterprise-level software manages recruiting, onboarding, recordkeeping, payroll, and FAA currency requirements for pilots and crew members.
What It Offers:
Crew-member staffing. JetPro maintains a database of more than 2,000 crew members based across the U.S. who collectively have about 10 million flight hours of experience and hold in excess of 5,600 type ratings. All crew members assigned to clients are JetPro employees, which eliminates any legal or IRS confusion as to the employer of record. JetPro provides worker’s compensation insurance and commercial general liability coverage for each crew member and pays the employer’s portion of state and federal payroll taxes.
JetPro Trip. Provides a pilot, copilot, flight attendant, or crew team on a trip-by-trip basis. The Crew Finder feature on the JetPro website allows clients to request pilots based on aircraft model type, geographical location, and total hours.
JetPro Recruit. Allows operators to leverage JetPro’s database of prescreened crew members for permanent hire.
