The airline industry is facing a shortage of pilots, leading to labor unrest and canceled routes.Amid ongoing chaos in the air travel industry, Southwest pilots picketed at Dallas Love Field Airport Tuesday to protest a pilot shortage, poor working conditions, delays and cancelations, they say.
If anyone has ever dreamed of being a pilot, now might be the time to get started. Many took early retirement because of the coronavirus, and now there is a lack of regional pilots. Those pilots who are flying say they are being overworked and want contract negotiations. “We understand there are many factors that have contributed to the nationwide pilot shortage, including the early retirement of over 6,000 pilots during the pandemic,” Lewandowski continued. “This decision was made solely by the airline, primarily due to a shortage of regional pilots. Unfortunately, we understand this is a current continued trend in the aviation industry.
While there is a shortage of regional pilots, Metham wrote that they are exceeding their pilot hiring goals. “At our school we have also noticed an increase in interest and enrollment, partially due to the significant demand for pilots happening right now,” Parrish said by email.
