BBC: Why have we got a pilot shortage?

Pilot shortage is just around the corner, or at least this is what media headlines say. Take such videos with a pinch of salt. 

Often aspiring pilots underestimate how volatile the aviation job market is. For instance wanna-be pilots do not know the difference in job perspective in relation to the chosen flight school. A flight licence no longer guarantees you a flying job. Worse, it might leave you unemployed and with a huge debt. So before taking the plunge and taking a mortgage out on your (or your family’s) house, find out:

  • How much does it cost to become a pilot?
  • How the aviation job market looks like in Europe?
  • How to make the right choice between flight schools?
  • What the life of a pilot is like today?
