Again the subject comes up in a major trade journal. According to AW&ST in the next 10 years the US airline industry will create over 120,000 pilot jobs, 68,000 from growth and 52,000 from attrition. Sources to fill these jobs will be 8,000 military, 2000 furloughees taking new jobs and nearly 46,000 from university programs and 34,000 from non-college flight school programs. This results in a shortfall of 30,000 pilots. Regionals will move to direct hires from university programs like Mesa. The idea for a gov't sponsored national aviation academy has been resurrected. This is still a great careeer and now is the time to start to if you are interested, a 4-yr degree is not required to get one of those 64,000 potential open jobs. The job will provide a handsome salary and a persistence student can do well fairly quickly. Only quoting here. All ties into the 2007-hiring boom, which will start to peak in June of 2007.
