Meet SAAB340 Captain and DFW ESCS Pilot Supervisor, Jorge Robin Gonzalez 😎👍

“I was born and raised in the south of Chile and at the age of 17, I joined the Chilean Air Force. In this institution, I served for 17 years as a Pilot Officer and Flight Instructor flying the T-35, DHC-6, CJ-1 and KC -135. In 2016, I left the Air Force to start my career in civilian life, specifically as a corporate pilot where I flew the IAI-1125, LR-31A, CJ, CJ-2, and CJ-3+. I maintain my passion for teaching by working as a part-time CFII at different flight schools. Thanks to this career, I have had the chance to fly all over America and part of Europe. I consider myself lucky because of the family I have and because for me flying is not a job, it is my passion.

In 2022, I received an email from a recruiting company that was looking for Captains at Ameriflight. I started my application in December and was hired as a SAAB340 Captain in the ESCS (Charter) Department in February of 2023. As a SAAB Captain, I am responsible for planning and executing the flights assigned to me, while maintaining the safety standards required by the company and the FAA. I enojy the fact that every day and every flight is different. Eariler this month, I accepted the DFW ESCS Pilot Supervisor position.

When I’m not working, I try to spend as much time as possible with my family (wife and three kids), read, and go to the gym. I’m thankful for the opportunity Ameriflight has given me. Two of my three children want to be pilots and the possibilities of developing professionally as a pilot here in the United States are much greater than in Chile.”
