Our Goals
About RTAG
making a difference for veterans
Rotary To Airline Group, or RTAG, began as a campaign to address the national pilot shortage with both professional and experienced Rotary Wing Aviators. This movement has since evolved, now endeavoring to place Veterans in the Airline Industry, regardless of their experience. Our Airline Partners recognize the value of our Veterans, not only placing them behind the controls but hiring them across the industry.

With the volatility of the airline industry, you may be discouraged to depart your current position for a life in the airlines.

It’s not a question of if the airlines will ever recover but a matter of when. And after it does recover, it will only become a matter of time before another downturn happens again. It is just the nature of the business we love. As a result of this uncertainty, you may have the question arise, “are the airlines still right for me?” The answer is a resounding… maybe. After all, YMMV.

It is difficult to make decisions that will impact the rest of your life. Having someone in your corner matters…I highly recommend reaching out. Their counsel and advice were exactly what my family and I needed to plan our next move.
