Career Compliance

Career Compliance is the set of rules that keeps Career Mode structured. These rules can affect dispatch, employment, reputation, money, and whether you are allowed to fly. All timing below belongs to the selected Career save. When you switch to another save, the save you leave is paused, so its offer deadlines, leave duration, inactivity and compliance timing, and payroll timing stop. A paused save does not build absence penalties while it is paused. Approved leave remains a separate protection inside that save. See Career Saves for the full timing and switching guide.

​
Weekly performance

FlyHub reviews Career performance each week. Current active-duty expectation: maintain a weekly average of at least 7.5/10. If your weekly average is below the requirement, you can receive a strike. Two strikes in the same month can lead to termination unless a protection applies.

​
No scored flights

An uncovered week with no scored Career flights can still produce a strike. Approved leave is how you mark time away so those covered days are not treated as active duty. Monthly inactivity is reviewed separately and can terminate employment after a fully inactive month.

​
Monthly inactivity

Career Mode can review inactivity monthly. If you are employed for the month and do not complete Career flying, you can be terminated for inactivity unless approved leave or another protection applies. Use leave before you disappear from flying for a while.

​
Vacation and sick leave

Leave is requested from My Company. Vacation is a game allowance tied to your current employment:
  • Leave is unpaid.
  • You receive 28 vacation days when you start with an employer.
  • The vacation balance resets to 28 every six months with that employer. Unused days do not carry over.
  • Starting a new employment contract, including switching employers, immediately resets the balance to 28 days.
  • One vacation request can cover up to 28 consecutive days and can be scheduled up to one year ahead.
  • Approved vacation spends one day from the balance for each covered calendar day.
  • Approved leave protects against monthly inactivity termination during the leave window.
  • Approved leave pauses weekly strike evaluation during the leave window.
Sick leave is separate from vacation. It can cover up to 14 days and can be requested once every 30 days. It does not spend vacation days. Compliance checks resume when the approved leave window ends. If only part of a week is covered, fly during the uncovered portion or extend the leave window when you have enough vacation balance.

​
Medical checks

Medical checks are recurring Career requirements. FlyHub can warn you before the check is due. If it becomes overdue, Dispatch can be blocked until you pay the medical check. Medical cost depends on Career stage and airline tier. Pay medical checks from Career Finance when the app offers the action.

​
Line checks

Line checks are recurrent company check rides. When Operations asks for a line check:
  1. Open the notification.
  2. Review the deadline.
  3. Choose one of your pending flights for the check ride.
  4. Fly the selected flight.
  5. Score greater than 9.0/10 to pass.
If you do not assign the check in time, or if you fail the check, you can be grounded. If grounded by a failed line check, FlyHub can require a simulator recheck. Current simulator recheck cost: $10,000.

​
Fatigue

Career Mode can apply a fatigue penalty if you fly too aggressively. Career fatigue is based on real tracked flight time, recent Career activity, real-world rest, and sim-rate usage. Payroll remains based on real tracked time. High sim-rate use can increase fatigue pressure because large Career duties are being compressed into shorter real-world sessions. Very short turnarounds and heavy 24-hour duty can also increase fatigue. Fatigue penalties only affect Career scoring and are capped at 4 points. FlyHub does not apply a separate hard flight-count penalty; recent flights matter through the fatigue score itself. FlyHub shows your current Pilot Condition, fatigue score, recovery timing, and main reason in the Career dashboard. You can keep flying, but the score impact can hurt training, reputation, and performance reviews. For examples and recovery details, see Career Fatigue.

​
Union protection

Union membership can protect your Career, but it costs monthly dues. Union can provide:
  • One strike appeal per quarter.
  • One firing protection event during the current employment.
  • Slightly improved promotion requirements.
Union opens after you have enough active signed employment time with your current airline. Training contracts do not count. For dues and tier costs, see Career Economy and Airline Tiers.

​
What being grounded means

Grounded means Career flight duty is blocked. Depending on the reason, you may be unable to:
  • Generate dispatch.
  • Accept reserve.
  • Start Career flights.
  • Continue normal company work.
Read the app message. It normally tells you whether you need to pay a medical check, assign a line check, pay a simulator recheck, sign a contract, or handle another Career requirement.

​
Common mistakes

  • Ignoring weekly performance because payroll still processed.
  • Waiting until after inactivity to request leave.
  • Missing medical check warnings.
  • Assigning a line check to a flight you are not ready to fly well.
  • Departing Career flights too early or late compared with the OFP planned OUT time.
  • Grinding too many flights and taking fatigue penalties.
  • Leaving the union and expecting past protections to keep applying.
