CREW Staffing

raising the standard for personnel in BUSINESS AVIATION™

CUSTOMIZED AVIATION STAFFING

Our crew staffing services are tailored to each individual flight department’s needs, allowing flexibility and control without administrative workload. We screen crew members to meet flight departments’ specific requirements in terms of experience, compatibility, and culture. Aircare supports many longstanding client relationships because we work hard to know our customers. We provide short-term and long-term personnel coverage with simplicity and efficiency.

Interested in working with a contractor outside of our immediate network? We can enroll them and process payroll as a W-2 employee regardless of their role or the length of the engagement.

We ensure that your crew members have proper training, experience, are fully covered with aviation-specific liability insurance, while being in compliance with Labor/Worker’s Comp laws, as well as having Federal and State taxes properly handled and withheld.

CLIENT PROTECTION

A core component of our crew staffing service is to insulate customers from potential liabilities. We assume all employer responsibilities, including:

Free Emergency Telemedicine Support*
Prompt Payroll/Expense Reimbursement
Free Earned Aircare FACTS Training
24/7 Dispatch Support
Company Credit Card Available Upon Request
Pre-Employment Paperwork and Screening
W-2 Employment
Workers’ Compensation Coverage
Aviation Specific Insurance Coverage
General Liability Insurance
Non-owned Aircraft Liability Insurance
Unemployment Insurance

*Emergency Telemedicine support is only available if an Aircare pilot or crew member is on board.

W-2 EMPLOYMENT ADMINISTRATION Protection

One of the key benefits provided to flight departments is the elimination of the administrative and potential legal headache that accompanies the use of temporary contractors, retainers, and full-time employment placement. We provide employment compliance and certainty-of-employment with regard to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employment tax obligations, State Income Taxes, Department of Labor (DOL), Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime requirements, Workers’ Compensation, Unemployment Insurance, and more.

IRS EMPLOYEE TAX MISCLASSIFICATION PROTECTION

Use of our contract pilots and flight attendants fall into the classification of our employee for the purposes of State and Federal income tax. Misclassification of this can put your flight department at legal and financial risk, can cause issues with insurance providers, and is administratively burdensome.

Aircare crew members are W-2 employees of Aircare International. This allows Aircare to establish that we are the employer of record, so your flight department eliminates any risk of misclassification now or in the future.
