NORTHERN JET


As the Director of Safety at NJ, I’m proud to say that safety isn’t just a priority—it’s the foundation of everything we do here. I have the support from top-level management, and our mission to "Keep It Safe" drives every decision and action we take.
The comprehensive Prism Safety Management System (SMS) is at the heart of this commitment. It not only helps us proactively identify risks but also fuels continuous improvement across our operations. My favorite part of the job is using audit feedback and SMS reports to make meaningful changes that enhance the work environment and push the bar higher—because even a few percentage points of improvement can make a significant difference. I love being part of that!
Just know that it’s not just about safety protocols and checklists. Our workplace culture is a balance of professionalism, friendliness, and a good dose of fun. There’s always time for a laugh, and that sense of camaraderie makes the work even more rewarding.






I was hired in thinking it's a place to grow my career and to gain more knowledge and learn new experiences. At first there all about learning and growth. That is a lied to suck you in. There not going to make you feel welcome and if things goes off on the wrong foot then you better find a new job cause they will force you out. There standard is the company above your life and your family life and do whatever it takes to keep planes going even if they go into grace period. CEO act like a king that only cares about the customer and not the employees that make it happen for the customer and pressure employees to make borderline unsafe decisions.  The benefits are horrible and the work environment is hostile. 

Northern Jet is an incredible place to work. The leadership team is smart, approachable, and truly pilot-friendly, creating a supportive and professional environment. The company’s core values are lived out every day.

The fleet is newer and well-maintained, and the workplace is highly collaborative. There are fantastic opportunities for career growth, whether upgrading to captain, joining the training team, or stepping into leadership.

With a strong safety culture, world-class customer service, and exciting trips to great destinations, Northern Jet is the perfect mix of professionalism and adventure. Plus, the team is made up of great pilots and wonderful clients—what more could you ask for?

Since the merger with Speedbird, many changes have taken place. The only positive change is the introduction of larger airplanes. However, the negative aspect is that they have turned a 30 year successful midwestern company into their personal piggy bank. They have reduced benefits, perks, etc. and have been giving bonuses to their favorite employees, who are essentially "yes men". The difference in treatment between the Orlando and Grand Rapids groups is stark, and it seems like the Orlando group doesn't care about anything in Grand Rapids. Days are long, people are not valued and the CEO could care less to even learn your name. 

I have been with Northern Jet since 2021 as the Director of Trip Support, and I truly enjoy what I do. The company has provided me with incredible opportunities for growth, both professionally and personally. The leadership team is supportive, and the workplace culture fosters collaboration, innovation, and a strong sense of teamwork.

Northern Jet is a great place to work for those looking to be part of a dynamic and evolving industry. The challenges are rewarding, and the environment encourages continuous learning and improvement. I’m grateful to be part of such a dedicated team!

Currently it is toxic and untrusting 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in early, stay late, fly 10-14 hours per day per rotation

Northern Jet fosters a supportive and collaborative work culture. From day one, I felt welcomed and valued as part of the team. The leadership is approachable and genuinely listens to employee feedback, which creates an environment where everyone’s contributions matter. My colleagues are not only skilled professionals but also friendly and supportive, making it a pleasure to come to work every day

I’ve been with Northern Jet Management through the last few years of changes. Aviation has evolved a lot over the past 5 years, but I think northern jet is doing a good job of changing with the industry. After the merger, there were a few months with a lot of changes and turnover, but I feel like everything is stable and going in the right direction. We are getting larger aircraft, so there’s good opportunity to move up through the fleet. Pay is fair, the duty days have shortened as they’ve hired more pilots.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Amazing team! Great work environment! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s aviation, unpredictability can be stressful sometimes but coworker makes think worth it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Family like culture. Most employees are young and passionate.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Collaborating with teammates.

The management of the operations is highly disorganized. There is no real structure and massive mistakes have been made. The Executive team is not approachable and people seem to fear them. Working long hours is expected and no real employee appreciation acknowledgement occurs. I would say this is one of the most hostile work environments I have been exposed to.
