    It's the same story in the trucking industry. Can't find drivers. Well it's no wonder you can't. Expect them to work 14 hour days, don't give them anywhere to park/use the bathroom, pay them as little as possible, blame them for anything that goes wrong, micromanage the hell out of them, treat them like expendable robots, only let "experienced" drivers drive and suddenly there's a crisis.

    Did you know? In the build up to World War II, FDR signed a law that allowed 100,000 pilots to get their license at the expense of the United States government, because we knew we needed a lot of pilots. It is a trade that becomes a lifelong passion and although I do not fly currently I would love to get back in the seat. I'm a farmer and a work from home dad and my kids are too young for me to go off into the wild blue yonder. I had my pilot learner's permit before my driver learner's permit. It is something you will never get enough of, the feeling of lifting off through only your intention and your knowledge of physics. Modern computer avionics seems to make it much easier than when I learned on a Cessna 152. It's also a skill that generally makes you a more organized and thoughtful person.

    dishing out almost $100k to get all your license and then making $40k to $80k a year for the first 5 years. After tax you are probably left with $25k - $50k. You are better off getting a computer science degree or going to coding bootcamp and make $100k+ right off the bat. However, like what my flight instructor said, don't get into aviation for the money. only do it because you absolutely love it.

    Also don’t forget, most people don’t have $100k to throw at pilot training. That’s a massive risk to take on a “maybe” and low pay. They should just train people for free, and in return students sign a contract that says they fly exclusively for said airline for certain amount of years… everybody wins.

    The major airlines are working on the hope , wish and pray business model. The hope is that one morning they get up and all the pilot slots magically got filled OR the government send them another fat bailout check. In the meantime are there highly experienced airline pilots sitting home for the last two + years . Why, they live abroad and the airlines are too lazy to get them work permits. The airlines hope, wish and pray that the smaller regional players put in the work to get them green cards, and then the major airline grab them after a year or so. I know what I'm talking about. My brother has a FAA ATP and a ICAO ATP with 20 000 hours (Boeing 747 ,737 and Airbus 330 included) . Already has an American pilots license. Flown around the world many many times. He can't get arrested in the US because the airlines are too lazy to put in the work. Hoping and praying for a miracle.
