About FlightDecking
FlightDecking was founded by Vincent Ruiz, a former airline pilot and aviation professional who spent years on both sides of the recruitment table. He understands the operational and business fundamentals airlines weigh when hiring — safety records, fleet-specific experience, cost-efficiency, and reliability — as well as the career, lifestyle, and roster priorities pilots evaluate when choosing their next position: aircraft type, base location, schedule quality, career progression, and genuine work-life balance.
FlightDecking exists to bridge that gap with smarter, more transparent aviation recruitment — giving airlines access to pilots who truly fit, and giving pilots the roster clarity they deserve before they commit.
Four pillars that make aviation recruitment work for everyone.
Built from first-hand cockpit experience. Every feature reflects the real priorities pilots weigh when evaluating a position — from roster patterns to base locations and career progression.
Airlines need pilots who fit operationally and culturally. FlightDecking surfaces candidates whose qualifications, type ratings, and availability align with fleet requirements and growth plans.
No more guessing. Pilots see exactly how a position's schedule compares to their ideal work-life balance before they apply — reducing mismatched hires for both sides.
Our compatibility engine scores every pilot-job pairing across 8 dimensions, so airlines attract genuinely interested candidates and pilots find positions they'll actually want to keep.
Traditional pilot recruitment agencies are expensive, slow, and overly complex. Multiple intermediaries, rigid fee structures, and limited operational understanding often drive up costs without improving long-term hiring success.
FlightDecking changes the model.
Created by an aviation professional and former pilot, the platform understands both sides of the cockpit door:
What airlines truly need
Reliability, experience alignment, retention, and cost control.
What pilots truly want
The right aircraft, the right base, and a sustainable roster.
By removing unnecessary middle layers, FlightDecking delivers:
Smarter recruitment. Lower fees. Aviation-focused precision.
Built by pilots. Designed for performance.
Whether you're a pilot seeking roster transparency or an airline looking for the right crew — FlightDecking matches you with precision.
