The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) predicts that employment of commercial pilots will grow about as fast as the average for all careers through 2028, with jobs being added in various industries, including support activities for air transportation. Demand will grow for instructors in the U.S. and in emerging markets as a result of an expected pilot shortage in the coming years. An estimated 645,000 new pilots will be needed worldwide during the next two decades, according to Boeing. Many pilots will reach the retirement age of 65 and replacements will be needed.
