The number of recruits will be in the double digits. The selection process will consist of document screening, written and practical tests, a practical interview, and finally, an executive interview, in that order.

Applicants must possess a commercial pilot license, maintain an English Proficiency Test for Aeronautical (EPTA) certificate, a first-class medical certificate, and a radiotelephony license, as well as have a minimum number of flight hours and an official English test score above a specified level.

Applications can be submitted on the Eastar Jet recruitment website until October 18. Those who pass all stages will join the company within this year. Detailed information regarding applicant requirements and other specifics can be found on the official website.

Eastar Jet recently expanded its fleet to 24 aircraft by adding four Boeing 737-8 Next Generation planes. As a result, the average age of its total fleet has decreased to around 7 years—the lowest among South Korean airlines—and the proportion of Boeing 737-8s in the fleet has reached approximately 58 percent.

An Eastar Jet official commented, "We will thoroughly conduct every stage of the selection process to recruit outstanding first officers who are safety-conscious and highly competent," adding, "Even after joining, we will ensure the highest standards of flight safety through systematic training."
