Current Industry News
Airlines face the most severe pilot shortage within the next ten years, making now a great time to train to become a commercial pilot.
- Thousands of major airline pilots reach mandatory retirement
age each year starting in 2010. - The military is training fewer pilots every year and is retaining them longer.
- There are not enough civilian-trained pilots with the experience to
meet the airlines’ demand.
With the projected growth of the airline industry through 2023, tens of thousands of pilots are needed!
“Today there are nearly twice as many active pilots over age 60 (317) as there are below age 40 (182). The average AA pilot age is 50.5 years, with the average captain being 53 years old and the average first officer being 48 years old.”
