A very wise person sent me this article from US News & World Report and it spoke optimistically about job prospects for Airline Pilots stretching into the year 2016. The article leans heavily on data from a detailed report from the US Department of Labor and the Bureau of labor Statistics , and states that “Employment of aircraft pilots and flight engineers is projected to grow 13 percent from 2006 to 2016, about as fast as the average for all occupations.
Both articles are filled with a lot of information about the Airline Pilot profession and make for informative reading for anyone thinking about pursuing a career as an Airline Pilot.
