CAT Editor-in-Chief Rick Adams, FRAeS, talks with Kit Darby, 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 third section of this five part series is on Aircraft Utilization, Pilot Work Schedules, and Pilot Demand.

Kit addresses the effects of aircraft utilization, pilot workload, and pilots-to-aircraft ratios in determining pilot staffing requirements.
