    • Warning to Airlines: Flight Instructor Shortage Could Create Long-Term Problems [view article]
      Here is an additional comment: Young pilots out of college with a schedule of 4 on and 3 off commuting on maybe one or two of there days off, is hard to find a spouse to start a family and stay attached. This is why we will have a pilot shortage for the extended future. Apr 05 10:15 AM

      For one, pilotless aircraft are far in the future. Sioux City accident, and ask who will be the first to fly on a pilotless aircraft. Maybe not us, but maybe our kids. And two, what makes aircraft fly?? "Money" Economics say, if there is a shortage ie. OIL, the price goes up. Why is the pilot pay not going up?? Nobody is intrested in paying 80k-100k in loans, and flying your but off in the airlines making under 50k/yr for the first 5 years, being on the road more than half your life. That's not attractive!!!!!!!!!! Apr 03 03:29 PM
