The airline that flies in and out of Area 51 is actually hiring new pilots, giving people the chance to access the highly secretive base.
With Area 51 being shrouded in so much mystery, there have been plenty of attempts from people over the years to try and get a look inside. Some have camped out near the fence and been watched by snipers, while others famously tried to Naruto run past the security guards.
The highly secretive air force base is supposed home to some of the United States’ biggest secrets, and is always linked to aliens, making it one of the places that people want to know more about.
Getting in requires high levels of military clearence, or you can work for Janet Airlines – which is the airline that flies staff in and out on a regular, but doesn’t hire people all too often.
Airline for Area 51 is actually hiring again
In fact, as pointed out by aviation influencer Aaron Rheins, Janet Airlines is now hiring for a first officer based in Las Vegas.
The government-run airline isn’t mentioned by name in the listing, but the listing has all their hallmarks. They’re searching for a first officer on a 737-600NG, which is the plane most commonly used by Janet.
The listing also noted that you need to have active clearance from the Department of Defence, as well as 1500 hours of flight time. Which, given you’ll be flying in and out of Area 51, is a no brainer. It also pays just over $52 an hour.
That pay grade has received a fair bit of flak across social media. “That pay is awful, should be double that,” one said. “$50/hr. Less than K-BBQ server after tips,” another commented. “$52.11/hr….get real,” another added.
As noted, the airline doesn’t hire all that often. Back in 2018, they were searching for new flight attendants.
It was reported at the time that prospective employees would have to divulge intimate details about their lives, including alcohol consumption, sexual behavior, and mental health.
As well as flying in and out of Area 51, there have also been reported flights to classified military bases and testing areas on the West Coast.
