Career Mode
Career Mode is FlyHub’s structured pilot progression mode. Use it when you want a long-term career instead of choosing any route at any time. In Career Mode, you create a pilot, join an airline, train on aircraft, fly assignments, earn money, build reputation, manage costs, and move toward better jobs. Career Mode is separate from Free Flight Mode.Onboarding

How Career Mode is different
Free Flight Mode lets you choose routes freely. Career Mode gives your pilot a career state. Your flights are tied to an employer, contract, aircraft eligibility, schedule, money, reputation, and long-term progression.| Topic | Free Flight Mode | Career Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Route choice | Flexible schedule booking. | Career assignments and dispatch rules. |
| Aircraft access | Based on the flight you book. | Based on type ratings, training, employer fleet, and contract state. |
| Progression | XP, profile stats, badges. | Jobs, contracts, pay, reputation, seniority, type ratings, promotions, finances. |
| Money | Not the main loop. | Income, expenses, loans, medical checks, property income, and debt matter. |
| Schedule | Optional planning. | Accepted assignments must be scheduled and rostered before they become flyable. |
| Consequences | Mostly flight scoring and logbook. | Failed training, missed assignments, resignation, poor reputation, medical issues, and debt can affect your career. |
