Pilot Demand in the US

March 2017, Rand Study projects a shortage of 35,000 US pilots over the next 10 years

For North America, Boeing predicts a need of 88,000 pilots over the next 10 years

2014 Boeing Current Market Outlook 2014– 2033 forecasts 7550 new airliners in the US

UND study predicted a shortage of 38,178 pilots over the next 15 years

Boeing CEO, “the duration of this hiring increase will be unprecedented in the U.S. aviation industry.”

Agreement on the size of the shortage varies, but there is industry wide agreement a shortage is looming.

200 Chinese companies have applied for general aviation licenses

China’s airline industry will grow to 100 companies by 2025

Boeing estimates China will have a shortfall of 77,400 commercial pilots to meet demand over the next 15 years

The country’s 12 civilian aviation academies can produce only 1,200 to 1,400 commercial pilots per year

Chinese airlines spend $162 US million annually on overseas pilot training

80 percent of all Chinese Commercial pilots are trained outside of China – the majority in the US

Pilot Demand in China

“A pilot shortage looms. The latest industry statistics point to a pilot shortage that will dwarf those that came before.”

- Michael P. Huerta, FAA Administrator

The combined worldwide requirement for pilots over the next 20 years is projected to be 533,000.

- Guy Norris, Aviation Week, July 2014

“The urgent demand for competent aviation personnel is a global issue that is here now and is very real.”

- Sherry Carbary, VP of Boeing Flight Services

The Size and Scope

of the Demand

The raw numbers are alarming, with industry projections of 5,600 airline pilots per year needed in the U.S. alone over the next 20 years. Current pilot supply will be less than half of what’s needed. If you apply those numbers to the worldwide demand, a scary shortage emerges.

- US News and World Report, July 2015

1. Projected number of mandatory age-related pilot retirements

2. Increasing demand for aviation services in Asian countries, especially China

3. Inability to produce and retain flight instructors

4. Lower number of potentially qualified pilots to fill first-officer jobs

5. Cost of training and low initial pay

6. Very few full time technical pilot training institutions with the rigor and institutional support to train quality pilots in a short time

7. The length of time and cost to get to the minimum flight hours to fly as an Airline Transport Pilot First Officer

Causes

In some cases, regionals have had to park aircraft for lack of pilots.

The impact might lead to some smaller U.S. cities losing their air service.

Filling many seats in schools and flight training outfits are foreign students, particularly from Asia-Pacific countries, where the airline industry is booming. They earn their licenses and move directly to the right seats of jets with several hundred hours of flight time, far below the minimum of 1,000 hr. now required for a new U.S. pilot with a four-year degree from an aviation college.

This coming problem is serious, and it could adversely affect the U.S. as a whole because aviation is so critical to economic activity and many citizens’ lifestyles. It’s time to take this seriously, bring some creativity to bear on solutions and get on with implementing them.

Keys to Student Success

HOW DO YOU KNOW

IF YOU HAVE HEFE?

When you have to sacrifice for what you are pursuing and you don’t complain about it.

When your willingness to learn and improve is more important to you than your ego.

When you cannot wait to get back to the flight line, even if the weather is bad.

When you have to be reminded to eat instead of fly.

When you wake up before the alarm to get back to pursuing your dreams.

When a flight in anything safe is something you don’t have to be persuaded to do.

When the miracle of flight never ceases to amaze you.

When you realize the worth of a life long career as a professional, not a cowboy.

When job satisfaction is a long term goal not a single event.

When you are seeking to give back to the profession that is you passion.
