Latvian national airline airBaltic has unveiled a new perk, designed to attract foreign pilots.
The European carrier said Monday that it is launching a commuter roster, which will allow pilots to commute to airBaltic bases instead of living near them. This will allow foreign pilots to join airBaltic without having to relocate, airline officials said.
“For the first time, we will introduce a commuting roster, giving pilots the opportunity to operate one of the youngest fleets in Europe – our Airbus A220-300 aircraft – without the need to relocate to one of airBaltic’s home bases,” said Robbert Strating, senior vice president of flight operations, in a news release.
The benefit is part of a labor contract offer to pilots that also includes more flexibility in scheduling and higher pay with “predictable increases.”
For captains, the offer provides progression across 10 salary levels with guaranteed annual advancement.

Pilot Hiring Updates USA
The conservative forecasts didn't last long, and both American and United cranked up hiring to the maximum extent possible.
United is running weekly classes of around 75 pilots per week, while American is running classes of at least 60 new hires every week! That's over 500 pilots per month between just two airlines! These numbers are expected to continue into 2026 as pilot demand is increasing once again.
For every pilot who is hired at a major, a vacuum is created down the line. If the new hire were a regional captain, then that regional airline must upgrade another into that captain’s spot. When someone is upgraded, it creates room for another regional first officer. While the regional hiring trend is still slower, we can expect that to increase quickly as we go into the new year. These are exciting times for everyone looking to land their next pilot job. Remain prepared and keep your applications updated!
United, Southwest, American, Delta, and Alaska/Hawaiian, Endeavor, CommuteAir, Envoy, GoJet, Horizon, Piedmont, PSA, Republic, Avelo, SunCountry, SkyWest, and ABX Cargo - they all hire First Officers.
