[FRIAM] (no subject)

[Prof David West]

There is a projected shortage of 50,000 commercial pilots by 2030 — assuming COVID ever eases off. So, analogous to the fervid recruitment of COBOL programmers, they are trying to recruit anyone who has either had a pilot's license or a subscription to any kind of flying magazine.

I have a friend with a drug conviction — about the only thing that will disqualify you from getting a pilot's license. He has been recruited, with assurance that the company will be able to get around the law on that point.

Like you, the day I finished such a course, I would be several years past the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots. (But they will probably ease that if the shortage gets bad enough.)
