SimAirline.net is currently hiring for seven management positions. Multiple positions can be held by one person. Hours spent working on management tasks are credited as flight hours. All positions require AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and FS2004; FSX is optional but desirable. We strongly encourage asking current management about what each of these positions involve.

If you are interested in a specific position, please email a letter of interest to Aaron Robinson and include a means to contact you online (either AIM or Windows Messenger) so you can be interviewed. If you only wish to install AIM if you are hired, then you can use AIM without installing it here. Please be sure you have reviewed and meet the qualifications for a given position.
