Pilot Shortage INfo

Hi!

From another website...

The flight school where I work part time can not find ANY CFIs, and is turning away students...one flight school in Chicago that lost 15 instructors in one week.

HOLD OUT FOR MORE PAY!!!

Another sign of the worldwide pilot shortage, as we eat our seed corn in the form of new studnets, the shortage will accelerate giving support to the need to increase the 121 retirement age to 77

Don't worry, the pilot shortage is more severe in the rest of the world. And pilots are paid way more in Europe and Asia anyway.

American Eagle had an ad for Pilots in the LA Times classifieds today.... The real pilot shortage will happen when United/AA/USair/Cont. etc start advertising in the classifieds.

YIP was right. I remember when he started predicting this 4 or 5 yrs ago after 911. I was a skeptic, now turning into a believer. Funny thing as I'm typing this yahoo email alert just pops up alerting me that I have an email from AE about a LA job fair.

Hold out for more than that. Just apply to the places that provide a reasonable work schedule, pay and medical benefits and insurance. Make them compete for your time.
