Diversity

 

At Tradewind, we believe that every single flight is an opportunity to create an exceptional client experience with our people, planes, and personal service. Our unique approach to flying is less harrowing than flying commercial and more intimate than flying private. It is flying personal. And it is what we strive for every day.

Flying personal starts from within. Tradewind is dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace that recognizes and celebrates diversity in all forms, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and more. The diverse perspectives and experiences of our team members are what give meaning to our “fly personal” philosophy and enable us to deliver exceptional service.

Current Team Members

"Tradewind has really catapulted my aviation career to the next level. Learning to fly the PC-12 and flying in all kinds of conditions and configurations has been both challenging and rewarding. Tradewind isn’t just an airline, it’s a family of talented aviators and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of this team."
Colin Stayton, Pilatus PC-12 First Officer since November 2021
"My time at Tradewind has been filled with genuine compassion from the day I joined the team. I have never had a job before where I could truly feel like an actual member of the team and not just a numbered cog in the machine. If you want to turn your job search into an actual career, then I can personally say Tradewind is the company for you. "
Brendan Moore, Charter Sales Coordinator since June 2022
"The variety of experiences working for Tradewind is second to none. You gain career diversity from fine-tuning your IFR procedures in the Northeast all the way to utilizing your stick and rudder skills landing in St. Bart’s."
