Is there a shortage of pilots right now?

As the industry started to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic in the early part of 2022, demand for staff across the aviation industry increased significantly with pilot employment at the forefront. As an example, Boeing reported European airlines must hire 6,000 trained pilots a year for the next two decades. In fact, 122,000 new aircraft pilot jobs will need to be created between now and 2041 as demand for overseas travel rebounds strongly. If you’re thinking about becoming a pilot, are graduating from flight school, or are looking for your next career move in your flying career — the future’s bright and demand is simply increasing for pilots’ jobs worldwide!

How can I secure the best contract offer?

Some pilots right now are finding themselves in the attractive position where they have 3 or 4 offers to consider as they look for the next step in their career. Ensuring you have your priorities in order, careful consideration of the pros and cons, and having a pilot staffing agency to do the groundwork on the company and offer are key to making the right choice.

What are the benefits of working on a lease basis?
