The largest expansion to JetCard's operator system since launch.
New surfaces for hiring, customer development, multi-client trips, internal communications, and investment — built for greater control of your company.
JetCard gave you purpose to business aviation and an ecosystem full of complex and challenging decisions — aircraft ownership, trip generation, the rush of recruiting new pilots to fill seats in your fleet and help rack up Capital.
For the first two months since release we've heard your feedback — you want greater control over your companies, more marketing and branding opportunity to pitch why our rapidly growing userbase should fly for you, and increase realism and role play for different types of operators.
Every operator now can create a full-screen detail page reachable from the Job Board. Custom bios, an 8-slot photo gallery, fleet listings, base map, headline stats, and a categorized breakdown of every trip type the operator will accept.
Pilots can read up on your company before they apply. Owners can present themselves like a real operator — branding, fleet philosophy, hiring policy, all in one place.
Operators can now specialize in specific job types and bring greater intrigue to prospective pilots. The Detail page surfaces all the trip types an operator allows, allowing for Medical or Commercial only operators. Operators can also limit flying to higher paying jobs during the growth period to take advantage of higher charter rates.
The Job Board has been rebuilt from the ground up. Old filters such as Partner VAs, Independent operators, or only those currently Hiring remain but now users can search for operators that have specific aircraft in their fleet - no more endlessly scrolling through drawers to find aircraft you want to fly. The new map lets you see where companies are based so you can station where you choose.
Job seeker facing branding joins our stats to show awareness to your organization — users can now scan hundreds of operators in a sitting and zero in on the ones that fit.
Owners can now seed their operator with up to 20 recurring customers — name, organization, role, home airports, and the trip types each one books. When a trip rolls out of one of those airports, there's a 25% chance a custom client shows up in the dossier instead of the procedural pool.
Build out a corporate client list. Bring on a sports franchise. Give your VA a CEO who actually flies with you every couple of weeks. The trips generator does the rest.
The trip generator has been overhauled to be realistic. No more 6 leg trips of the same client traveling between houses (who has 6 houses anyways?). Trips now are length aware and a single multi-leg dossier can now span more than one client engagement — fly an executive to an arbitration hearing, deadhead to another field, pick up a different organization for an awards ceremony.
Each engagement gets its own narrative voice, its own passenger manifest, its own briefing. The empty legs in between are real positioning flights, not filler, and the clients cover the cost better now too. The 4-step narrative engine rebuild ties every leg into a continuous story.
Mail is the newest app in the jPhone, sitting alongside Messages, Calls, and Dispatch. Every employment event now generates a formatted HR letter: welcome aboard, promotion to Chief Pilot, demotion, termination with stated reason, broadcast announcement from leadership.
Owners and operator management can now send e-mail outreach to their entire pilot base to communicate critical information without the need for a secondary website or discord.
Any pilot can now reinvest from their own balance directly into an operator they fly for. They get an Investor badge, a record of every contribution, and an automatic refund if the operator ever fires them. Lets VA leadership raise capital from within the roster to scale fleets faster than charter revenue alone would allow.
Real money, real risk, real reward — the operator can use it immediately to buy aircraft, open bases, or weather a slow stretch.
A new permission tier between Owner and Chief Pilot. Co-Owners get full management access — hire, fire, set pay rates, manage bases, edit the operator profile, acquire aircraft from the owner's account — but the founding pilot stays the sole financial signatory. Built for VAs running shared leadership and partner operators with co-founders.
Operators Update 1 ships once final testing wraps. The update is free for every JetCard pilot — no separate purchase, no upgrade tier. Already have JetCard? You'll get it automatically.
