There has likely never been a better time to become a professional pilot. Salaries and sign-on bonuses are getting more competitive as airlines suck up talent as fast as possible. COVID-19 only paused the international pilot-shortage crisis that, for years, has been fueled by baby-boomer retirements and fewer new entrants into the workforce amidst increasing international travel. International travel continues to increase and is projected to surpass pre-pandemic levels, and the pilot-shortage crisis is back and growing in magnitude.
