Currently, there are five types of jobs offered in Fly The World: Standard, Route, Charter Jobs, the Job Board, and Air Rescue Jobs.

Standard jobs are generated for general aviation, while route jobs are intended to cover the spectrum between general aviation and regional airlines, ranging from two-seat Cessna to 50-70 seat regional jets. Charter jobs are for PPL and CPL class business aircraft. Agent jobs are for all aircraft and are designed to appeal to the freelancer.

In order for route jobs to be generated, a corresponding route must first be set by the player. In order to do this, the player must hire an FBO (Fixed Base Operator) at least at the starting airport. However, this chapter will only deal with the perspective of the pilot who wants to fly these jobs without immediately setting up his own network. In job planning, route jobs differ from standard jobs primarily by two characteristics. First, the standard logo “FTW job” in the very first column is replaced by the logo of the respective airline, and second, the last three columns (Bonus 1, Bonus 2 and Commission) contain values.

So what exactly are these bonuses all about? They relate to the payment for the respective job and each represents a percentage value. Bonus 1 applies to all pilots, Bonus 2 is only granted additionally to pilots of the respective airline. So in the example shown above, the pilot receives 20 percent of 1,426 if he is not a member of the airline that generated the job. If he were a member, however, he would also be credited with the second bonus, bringing his share to 30 percent. To the freelancer, who is used to pocketing the full amount, this may sound like a rather paltry payment.

The moment the pilot exclusively transports route jobs for an airline, he flies on its behalf, regardless of whether he is a member there or not. This means that the airline also pays all the costs of the flight. And this adds up to quite a bit, as these include aircraft rental, crew, fuel, landing fees, and handling fees at the departure and destination airports. This puts the supposedly poor pay in a completely different light.

Route jobs must be flown with an aircraft of the same class with which the route was created.

Which class an aircraft has can be seen in the hangar in the details of the aircraft. Furthermore, the aircraft class can also be seen in the hangar in the price list of available aircraft.

The search in the hangar (under Extras) has been adapted, here it is possible to display the aircraft of a class.

In the terminal in the aircraft details the class is displayed under the license.
