Despite an industry slump that has seen mass pilot lay-offs, the global civil aviation industry will still require an estimated 27,000 new pilots from the end of 2021, or 264,000 over the coming decade.
That forecast comes from Canadian training and simulator provider CAE, which on 9 November released its latest prediction covering the demand and availability of pilots through 2029.

Bad news, many big city bus drivers take home more than pilots at small airlines.
Sad how little pilots make.
For your interest.
‘Shirley’, Otto has retired by now?
Thank you for sharing this. New commercial pilot in the family is not getting as many flights as he needs, so this is encouraging.
Last 10 years vast majority of pilot job openings are in Africa, China indiA and the mid east
Good luck
My ATP Instrument Instructor thought he might want to change careers 20 years ago, He is still a Mailman!!!
Answer this one question: What part of the Federal Constitution allows them to have a Federal Aviation Administration?
If the answer is "commerce clause"... You have found the problem. The FAA should be run like the IEEE as a private consortium and not a Federal agency exerting extra-Constitutional and wrongfully taken power.
America is becoming painfully short of productive people.
On the other hand, America’s big-spending nanny-state, manipulated printed money and massive debt has encouraged the steady growth of a vast army of government workers, useless academics and students, financial engineers and welfare recipients.
Key word here is “global.” As I understand it, U.S. currently has a supply-side glut for commercial aviation.
They’ve been saying this for the last 20 years. Glad your relative is done with the expense of training, which is what I think these ‘studies’ are intended to stimulate. Good luck to them!
Argh! Didn’t paste the link fast enough!
I hear this every 2-3 years.
If there is a demand, then wages will have to go up.
Still hoping to move left (kidding) to the left seat. The chief pilot thinks I’m read but not enough time/hours yet. I have attended captain’s class and did good. Time will tell.
