Boeing projects strong demand for pilots and technicians
Singapore: Asia-Pacific will need almost 200,000 new commercial airline pilots to support expanding demand for new airplane deliveries over the next two decades, according to a new report by Boeing.
The 2013 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook, a bellwether industry forecast of aviation personnel demand, calls for 192,300 new commercial airline pilots and 215,300 new technicians in the Asia Pacific region through 2032.
“There is a very real, urgent demand for competent aviation personnel globally, and the Asia Pacific region is particularly impacted,” said Bob Bellitto, global sales director, Boeing Flight Services, here Monday.
“While Boeing is investing in cutting-edge technologies to attract and retain young people interested in careers in aviation, this is an industry-wide issue that can only be solved with industry-wide solutions,” he said.

Such media reports keep on coming. They say that many pilots and AMEs will be required ‘in the future.’ Young people get excited after reading such news and spend a lot of money on their training and after that a majority of them stay unemployed. More than 6000 pilots and 20,000 AMEs are unemployed. If there is a requirement of professionals then why are so many people unemployed??
