Career Reputation

Career reputation is your pilot’s professional trust score. It is separate from XP. XP shows activity and progression. Reputation shows how reliable your Career pilot looks to airlines, employers, and the bank.

Reputation scale

Career reputation runs from 0.0 to 10.0. FlyHub shows it rounded to one decimal place. Employer standing is based on reputation:

Starting reputation

Your starting reputation depends on Career difficulty. Hard mode starts lower because it is meant to make Career progression more demanding.

How reputation increases

Reputation mainly increases by completing Career assignments with strong scores. Current base reputation changes from completed Career assignments: The score used is the Career assignment score after Career adjustments, including fatigue if it applies. For flight scoring details, see Scoring and XP. For Career-specific scoring effects, see Career Scoring Effects.

Why gains slow down

Reputation becomes harder to raise as it gets higher. At lower reputation, strong flights can move the score faster. At high reputation, the same strong flight still helps, but the visible increase is smaller. This prevents a pilot from jumping from good to perfect too quickly. Because the visible score is rounded to one decimal, a small gain may not immediately change the number shown in the app. Keep flying well and the changes will add up.

How reputation decreases

Reputation can decrease from bad Career outcomes. Common reputation losses include: High-reputation pilots are held to a slightly higher standard. If your reputation is already very strong, a poor flight can hurt a little more than it would for a lower-reputation pilot.

Fatigue can indirectly hurt reputation

Fatigue does not directly subtract reputation. Instead, fatigue can reduce the Career assignment score. Since reputation is calculated from the final Career assignment score, fatigue can turn a good flight into a weaker score and reduce or remove the reputation gain. Career fatigue uses real tracked flight time, recent Career activity, real-world rest, and sim-rate usage. The fatigue penalty is capped at 4 points and only affects Career scoring. FlyHub does not apply a separate hard flight-count penalty. See Career Compliance for the full fatigue rule.

Offline flights and reputation

Offline Career flights can still affect reputation. Offline mode depends on required check-ins, timing, debrief inputs, plausibility, and trust. If the final Career assignment score is strong, reputation can improve. If the score is poor, reputation can fall. See Manual and Offline Mode.

What reputation affects

Reputation affects several Career systems.

Job Market reputation gates

Typical airline requirements are: Meeting the reputation requirement does not guarantee acceptance. It only means reputation is not blocking the application. See Career Applications and Offers.

Loan impact

Reputation affects bank terms. Current APR bands: Strong credit and reputation can also improve loan capacity. See Career Payroll and Ledger.

How to protect reputation

  • Fly Career assignments cleanly.
  • Avoid fatigue penalties.
  • Do not miss assignments.
  • Use leave if you need time away.
  • Do not resign early unless you accept the penalty.
  • Keep loan payments under control.
  • Do not schedule a line check when you are tired or rushed.
  • Use the correct tracking mode for your simulator setup.

Where to review reputation changes

You can review reputation from:
  • Career Dashboard.
  • Career Profile.
  • Career logbook entries.
  • Career notifications.
  • Job Market requirements.
  • Finance and loan screens.
Completed Career flight entries can show the reputation delta attached to that assignment.
