AVweb: Pilot Shortage Looming?
"Although the coronavirus pandemic has created an instant surplus of pilots worldwide, it’s also created big gaps in the training pipeline and that has some countries bracing for a pilot shortage in a few years. In Japan, airlines, the government and universities are facing what they see as a looming problem because most pilots for Japanese carriers are trained abroad and the borders are closed to the countries that do the training.

Boeing Aircraft: Extraordinary Demand for Pilots,
Technicians, and Cabin Crew
"As global economies expand and airlines take delivery of tens of thousands of new commercial jetliners over the next 20 years, there is extraordinary demand for people to fly and maintain these airplanes. To meet this tremendous growth, the 2016 Boeing Pilot and Technician Outlook forecasts that between now and 2035, the aviation industry will need to supply more than two million new aviation personnel—617,000 commercial airline pilots, 679,000 maintenance technicians, and 814,000 cabin crew.
Meeting this demand will require innovative solutions — focused on educational outreach and career pipeline programs — to inspire the next generation of pilots, technicians, and cabin crew. New technologies, devices, and training methods will be needed to meet a wide range of learning styles. The growing diversity of aviation personnel will also require instructors to have cross-cultural and cross-generational skills to engage tomorrow's workforce."

About Us
The Coachella Valley Youth Aviation Education Program (CVYAEP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization, initiated by Coachella Valley aviation enthusiasts in recognition of the need for new starts in aviation and their impact on general and commercial aviation.
Since its launch in 2012 more than 350 beginning flight students have benefited by the CVYAEP's plan. Some have continued their flight studies at ERAU, ASU, the U.S. Air Force Academy and the U.S Navy Aviation.
Through pilot community and volunteers, the CVYAEP offers aviation grants and scholarships that include FAA Part 61 flight and ground instruction, pilots supplies and handbooks, FAA medicals, student pilot certificates and seminars by FAA certificated professionals, all sharing the goal of encouraging and educating our Valley's youth into careers in aviation.
