How Galley counts
- Galley counts the open ads on Galley Jobs: business aviation, air ambulance and helicopter jobs for pilots and cabin crew. Airline jobs and airline open days aren’t in these numbers.
- When the same job appears on two sites, it counts once.
- The ads come from employers’ own careers pages. Ads from recruitment agencies (8) and talent pools (10) are counted and carry their label on Galley.
- Pay, roster and type-rating terms count only when the ad states them.
- A job’s days open run from the ad’s posted date, or from the day Galley first saw it when the ad gives no date, to the day it closed.
- Galley publishes counts only: no ad text and no employer’s name.
- On the first day of each month, Galley keeps the month’s numbers on their own page, where they don’t change.
- Found a number that looks wrong? E-mail [email protected].
