Good Time to be Thinking of an Aviation Career

It is being predicted that there is going to be a shortage of airline pilots over the next 20 years. 

May sound like a long time, but if you are thinking of being a pilot, or have any interest in aviation this is a good time to act on it.

It has been foretasted by one of the largest commercial jet makers, that more than 450,000 pilots will be needed around the world. Boeing said that growth is expected between now and the year 2031 in the industry. But, the company also says that it is expected that there will be a need for more than 600,000 new aircraft maintenance workers.

Chief Denise has been talking to groups expressing the concern that there will be a lack of well trained pilots over these next 10 or so years.

American Winds Flight Academy has been working to get the word out at local high schools that aviation career minded students can look forward to rewarding careers and a good job market. "It can be a real safety concern, if there are not enough qualified pilots and technicians to handle the amount of jobs that will be available," she said.
