Needed: 500,000 Pilots 7/13/2012
Here we go again, another mainstream media story (NBC Nightly News) about how we will not only have a shortage of pilots overseas but here in America. I couldn't help but laugh.
You'll have to watch the broadcast by Brian Williams.

You can't deny that all the stars do seem to be aligning... there might just be potential for a problem in the future. A growing market, a shrinking pool of pilots to pull from, an aging pilot demographic...
Do you have any arguments against these facts?

Here is a very similar story that I read today online at foxnews about a pilot shortage and safety concerns. Rising demand for airline pilots raises safety concerns | Fox News
