New Pilot Jobs in North America over the Next 20 Years according to Boeing's Pilot and Technician Outlook

Aspiring aviators who begin their training today will be well-positioned to take advantage of new job opportunities as the industry recovers. While the current industry downturn, driven by COVID-19, has resulted in a temporary oversupply of qualified personnel, the long-term need remains robust. The short-term surplus allows operators the opportunity to build their pipeline in anticipation of growth returning in the next few years. With the growing demand for air travel, the need for qualified commercial pilots increases. The 2020 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook projects that 763,000 new civil aviation pilots will be needed to fly and maintain the world fleet over the next 20 years.

As tens of thousands of pilots, technicians, and cabin crew members reach retirement age over the next decade, educational outreach and career pathway programs will be essential to inspiring and recruiting the next generation. In 2018, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released that the number of US pilots has decreased by 30 percent within the last three decades. Research firm, Cowen & Company, estimates 42 percent of the active pilot workforce at the five largest US airlines will retire by the end of 2026.

Additionally, as commercial traffic demand returns in upcoming years, aspiring aviators will have the opportunity to fill open positions created by a combination of personnel retirements and fleet growth.

Advances in adaptive learning capabilities, artificial intelligence, and learner analytics will further personalize training to the individual student so that greater emphasis can be placed on closing knowledge gaps.

Our aircraft provide you with a greater margin of reliability, standardized training, and a comfortable learning environment.
