A recruiting partner for your clients’ aircraft.
Response Aviation Search helps aircraft brokers, attorneys, CPAs and wealth advisors support clients who need pilots, aviation leaders and a working department. We recruit and advise without competing for the aircraft transaction or management relationship.
Discuss a client introductionExtend the support behind your advice.
An aircraft decision brings people decisions with it. A client preparing for delivery may need a complete crew; an established owner may need a Chief Pilot or a clearer department structure. Those questions can extend beyond the advisor’s own discipline.
RAS works on that human and organizational side of the asset. We help define staffing priorities, recruit key personnel and bring compensation and continuity planning into the conversation.
A practical role alongside each advisor.
Aircraft brokers
Help clients think through crew and department needs as they prepare for ownership. RAS supports pilot and leadership recruiting, role design and compensation guidance around the aircraft you help them acquire.
Aviation attorneys
Connect legal structure with clear organizational responsibilities. We support role definitions, leadership authority, reporting lines and succession planning alongside the client’s counsel.
CPAs and wealth advisors
Bring context to crew compensation and the department’s staffing model. Our guidance helps clients understand the people decisions behind a significant recurring ownership expense.
Make the introduction around a real need.
A useful starting point is the client’s aircraft, intended mission, home base, timeline and the decision they need to make. For a staffing question, identifying who will approve the role and who will work with the new hire makes the next conversation more productive.
Andrew can then work with the client and their advisors to scope a focused search or a broader flight department engagement. Confidentiality remains part of the process from the first conversation.
Your relationship, supported by independent expertise.
RAS does not sell aircraft, manage fleets or take commissions from vendors. We can extend the client’s support without an interest in steering an aircraft transaction or management contract.
The work is built around the client’s needs and the advisory relationships already in place. Recruiting can stand alone or form part of a broader discussion about department structure and continuity.
Help your client put the right team in place.
Talk with Andrew about a client’s staffing or aviation leadership needs and how RAS can support the relationship.
