air travel will double over the next 20 years.

"The US Secretary of Transportation, Elaine Chao said, “Our nation is facing a shortage of pilots and aviation professionals; there are great opportunities in this sector, and we want to encourage more women to enter these exciting professions.”

The pilot shortage isn’t new news. Last year the FAA said the number of pilots has decreased in the US by 30 percent since the ’80s, but at the same time, the International Air Transport Association guesses air travel will double over the next 20 years."
