Between now and 2036, 637 pilots and 2 million air transport workers will be needed worldwide, including 637 captains, 648 maintenance technicians and 839 hostesses and stewards. This is what emerges from a Boeing report.
For this reason, China is changing the rules of engagement, admitting to the profession even the shorter cadets of one meter and 64 and with the length of the legs less than 74 centimeters.
In Europe, Ryanair admits it has lost at least 260 pilots in recent weeks and is on the hunt for at least 650 cadets between now and next April when the new summer schedule kicks in. The same will be done by Wizzair, another competitor ready to occupy Ryanair's slots to date, which is looking for over 400 employees.
In the United States, on the other hand, there is also a shortage of top guns: at least 1.500 are needed.
