Show Notes
In this episode of Own the Jet, Jason Wardwell and Gregg Salser of Jet Pro Pilots explain the crewing decisions that make jet ownership safe and seamless. They outline their three engagement models—JetPro Trip (on-demand crewing as employer of record), JetPro Recruit (full-time placement with guarantees), and JetPro HR (a PEO-style solution with long-term crews and benefits)—and why captain-qualified pilots, insurance/FAA verification, and culture fit matter.
They share practical acquisition advice: evaluate training availability before chasing “bargain” airframes, plan crewing in parallel with the transaction, and use trial trips to confirm fit. You’ll also hear a memorable story about sourcing Russian-speaking pilots to support astronaut flights into Kazakhstan, and how their nationwide CrewTrack network solves niche requests.
Whether you lead a corporate flight department or you’re buying your first jet, this conversation shows how the right crewing partner protects safety, budget, and peace of mind.
