Could we have a pilot shortage?

CAT Editor-in-Chief Rick Adams, FRAeS, talks with one of the leading experts on professional pilot careers about the state of the North American aviation market – recovery, retirements, furloughs, pay packages, and advice for moving to the head of the queue when hiring restarts (perhaps sooner than you think).

The final section of this five part series is on The Right Stuff, MPL, and the 1500-Hour Law.
