Join a server with a small number of people and hang around on the carrier. Grab a plane and fly around in circles. Fly high and around in circles. That is what I did. Got shot down about 10 times by a J-10 but it is pretty easy to get.

yeah, a big map and small amount of people.  Chances are better to get a jet that way, and basic is easy to get.  Now veteran on the other hand......ive yet to get it.  I dont try often enough....dont care too much for it.

Go on Wake Island, take your trusty m95 to the J-10 spawn, kill everyone there including the pilot and the people standing in front of it, take the J-10, fly up to about 400 alt., fly in circles.

Any map with a bomber, just jump in the gunner seat and let someone else fly, if you find a good pilot you will get that badge without doing anything. I'll even fly you around if you ever find me in a server.

As has been mentioned, a less-than-full 64 server gives you the best chance of getting to have a jet for ten minutes. 

Other things to keep note of:

Be on a team with an uncappable airfield.  Pretty shit to rack up 9 minutes in a J-10 on Wake only to have the USMC take away your airbase. 

Don't bail out.  This is contrary to how you should normally play, cause normally the priority is to stay alive.  Here, it's not.  If your plane is a blazing chunk of wreckage hurtling to certain destruction then you stay right with it all the way down.  This way, when you the plane respawns (in 30 seconds), you're already waiting for it ready to jump back in, rather than half the map away trying to bum a lift.

Stick with it!  This is important.  It will get to a stage where you're certain that you've gotten ten minutes and it's just refusing to give you your badge.  It hasn't been ten minutes.  Between spawning, respawning, getting to the plane, waiting for the plane to respawn and so on, those ten minutes take what feels like an age to build up.

Anything else?...

Oh, yeah:  If you're going to spend a full round flying, then might as well go the whole hog.  My advice would be to go to Kubra Dam, and whore it up in the F-15.  Bomb the shit out of everything, keep at it the whole round (bombing run, re-arm, bombing run, repeat ad nauseum).  Once you've got the hang of it, you'll find it surprisingly easy to pick up the Aviator ribbon as well.

Good luck!

You know flying the jet doesn't have to be a miserable experience.  You've probably just been flying the F-35's.  Get yourself in a J-10, as long as you don't fly straight or over aa's for too long you should be fine.  Maybe you don't care to learn how to fly effectively but being a good pilot can be very satisfying.  I'd recommend starting a local and practice bombing stuff by yourself, that's how I learned the basics.

The J10 is the Chinese jet. You'll find it on FuShe Pass, Dragon Valley, Wake Island, Dalian Plant, Daqing Oilfields. You might also know it as the jet that is constantly kicking your team's ass if you are on US.

The best way to get the badge without flying at all is to hop into the passenger seat of the MEC bomber on Gulf of Oman. Just sit back and let time tick by.

Get in a bomber with a half decent pilot and you will get your 10 minutes before you know it.  I got my basic avaitor badge flying a j-10 on wake low populated server.  I got my ariel service ribbon by being lgm on gulf of oman with a friend flying.

If you find yourself interested in getting better at flying.  fly with good pilots in the bomber and look around at what they are doing.  Ask questions.  most people will help you to get better.
