Thoughts from former Airline Pilots that are now with Metro
I left the airlines for a job that I could come home from every night. A job that gave me a much higher sense of purpose. There is nothing like flying a heart back for transplant on Christmas Eve. Knowing that you had a hand in helping someone. Metro has a good schedule, compatible pay and very supportive. You’re more than just a number on a seniority list. – Former Captain
I chose Metro because I was told by a good friend of mine that they are a family run company who cares about their people. Which I have experienced that to be true. I have young children and wanted to be present while they are growing up. Metro offers the opportunity for me to see them everyday, at least part of it depending on day or night shift, and equally important stability. The regional airline I worked for wasn’t able to provide either of these. It is also very rewarding helping people when they are truly in need. – Former Regional Pilot
