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.

Prioritizing Your New Career
The Great Pilot Shortage is finally upon us! Stop what you’re doing and start your pilot training yesterday! Did you know that over the next decades there will be 2-3,000 mandatory retirements a year due to pilots reaching the maximum allowable age of 65?! Think about that. That’s 165-250+ pilots a MONTH needed! That doesn’t even include the ones who maxed out their 401Ks and want to retire early or the ones who will lose their medical before hitting 65!

With higher pay, promises of better schedules, and today’s rapidly rising seniority numbers, the major carriers will be a great place to be for years to come-and they will be needing more pilot than ever over the next decade. Getting into the majors sooner can have a dramatic impact on career earnings-possibly amounting to millions of dollars of additional income over time.

RTAG is such a great organization. The amount of helpful information and general goodwill towards transitioning veterans is quite amazing. They helped me make the transition and gave helpful advice all along the way.

Best Veterans group out there! Absolutely outstanding group of some of the greatest Americans I know!
JIM SMITH, United Airlines Pilot
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.

Hands down the most informative and supportive group, and the single greatest resource for transitioning military aviators.
