Max talks with career coach Carl Valeri about current trends in the aviation industry regarding pilot hiring. Major issues include supply chain problems affecting both Boeing and Airbus, with specific concerns about engine inspections and manufacturing delays. Additionally, the premium leisure travel market is thriving, while low-cost travel faces challenges due to economic conditions. The conversation also highlights the ongoing shortage of air traffic controllers, especially in the East Coast corridor, leading to reduced flights and pilot demand.
Valeri emphasizes the importance of pilots gaining flight experience despite market downturns and advises aspiring pilots to aim for a thousand hours of PIC turbine time. He also touches on the varying hiring practices among major airlines, noting pauses and conditional job offers. The episode provides insights into the aviation career landscape, urging perseverance and continued skill development despite industry fluctuations.
