      Warning to Airlines: Flight Instructor Shortage Could Create Long-Term Problems
      Wow! I have read all these comments. I am 42, single. I have been a prosecutor for 15 years. I went into law school because in the late 1980s it seemed like the thing to do (it was very hard to get a pilot job and hey, wasn't L.A. Law the coolest!?). I left the prosecutor job when I hit 40 to see about exploring my dream to be a pilot (was excited when the mandatory retirement age went up to 65). There seems to be some contradictory previews of the future pilot show coming out in the future! I was thinking of calling the HR departments at some regional airlines and asking where they hire from---I was leaning toward Jet Univ. since I have free lodging here in South Florida---unless the regionals I contacted didn't hire from there. I have read that since English is required to be used on international routes that the BRIC nations (Brazil,Russia,India, and China) are hiring English-speaking pilots as their aviation needs are growing so rapidly (I have read that Australia is having a particular shortage of pilots because they are going to China and India for better pay). I read about the low salaries---is working for a foreign airline a possible solution! Time to emigrate to OZ?!Thoughts on the above? Should I be miserable as a prosecutor for another 15 years!? Jet Univ.? THANKS!....a clueless lawyer who always wanted to be a pilot!
