Destination 225°
Destination 225°
Welcome to Destination 225°, an exciting new program in partnership with Southwest Airlines® that provides motivated and capable candidates with a career path from private aviation (Part 135) with Jet Linx to the commercial airlines (Part 121). Through this program, pilots can enjoy a unique “career lifecycle solution,” with ways to elevate and extend their flight career every step of their journey. Jet Linx is excited to offer talented pilots the opportunity to build time flying as a part of our Part 135 fleet, and to share in our culture and values as they prepare for the next stage in their career. And for retiring commercial pilots seeking to continue a life serving clients through flight, Jet Linx offers a pathway back to Part 135 operations from our Base locations across the country.
On a compass rose, 225° is the southwest heading, and Destination 225° offers a pathway from trusted partners like Jet Linx to future flight careers with Southwest Airlines®. The program paves the way to a career at the nation’s largest domestic carrier based on passengers carried. Southwest is regularly recognized among the best companies in the world and as a great place to work.
Jet Linx is proud to be a founding Destination 225° partner.
