Doing research to become a pilot
For someone who is looking to start from scratch to become an airline pilot, what does the pilot shortage for the majors truly look like? Like it has been discussed somewhat in previous posts I would think this is what would really drive the shortage. Is there a current shortage of pilots at the majors currently? If there is not a shortage is the shortage at the regionals due directly due to majors hiring from the pool of Regional pilots? Does anyone have any links to articles that could give me more information on the "pilot shortage"? I am looking for a career change, and while I understand nothing is guaranteed in life, I would hate to make that kind of finanacial commitment without doing the proper research. Has anyone taken advantage of any of the programs the regionals are offering as far as flight training goes and is it worth working with these programs? Thanks in advance for the help.
