Jan ’03 - Dec ’03 Pilot Interview Stats
Aviation Information
Resources, Inc. (AIR, Inc.) released its Jan ’03 - Dec
’03 Pilot Interview Statistics on Monday and the results are
interesting to say the least.
The information published by AIR Inc. was taken from the
database of pilots who interviewed between January 1 and December
31, 2003. The Pilot Interview Statistics, divided by military and
civilian pilot background, help the interviewing pilot determine
what qualifications a competitive candidate possesses in each
category.
“According to our Jan ’03 - Dec ’03 Pilot
Interview Statistics, civilian pilots make up 68% of those hired by
airlines,” said Kit Darby, president of AIR, Inc. “The
age range for civilian new-hires at the major airlines spans from
27 to 42 years-old, with the average age being 34.6 years and
5,419 total hours and 40.0 years and 3,205 total hours for pilots
with a military background. Of those civilian pilots interviewed at
the majors, 30% have corrected vision, 90% have a four year degree
or higher, 90% have an ATP and 80% an FE written.”
"If the interviewing pilot is younger than average, or if they
are starting a new career later in life, they need not have the
average flight time or ratings to be competitive. “As future
airline pilots approach competitive qualifications and experience
levels, they must strive to be both patient and persistent to
ensure they have the best chance at the job they want. In
today’s job market, if they meet the minimums, they should
apply,” Mr. Darby added. AIR, Inc. is forecasting up to 6,500
new airline pilot jobs in 2004 - up 40% over the 4,743 pilots hired
in 2003.
