"Airlines facing pilot shortage, flight school leaders say
There is no doubt that airlines are facing a critical pilot shortage in the short term. That was the message that came out of a meeting this week at Delta Connection Academy in Sanford, Fla., attended by leaders of some of the country’s best flight schools, regional airlines, and financial and regulatory agencies. “Are the airlines prepared to admit there will be a pilot shortage?” asked Captain Mark Libretto, a pilot with JetBlue Airlines and graduate of Delta Connection Academy. Libretto, like others, said he believes that airlines must act now to ensure they will be able to hire the caliber of pilots needed in the future"
Article should say airlines face shortage of pilots who will fly maximum duty days for sub McDonald wages and Pilot schools lose money.
