Delta said it will hire fewer pilots in 2024 than it did in 2023, rolling back to about half of what it onboarded last year.
The change might sound spooky to those eyeing the airline industry for a future career, with fears of a recession and omnipresent inflation always in the back of student pilots' minds. The airline reiterated that it still plans to hire 1,000 new pilots this year, and that it's still a pretty high number for an average year. Eye catching images of an Airbus A350 engulfed in flames greeted American viewers waking up to begin their 2024, after a ground collision occurred at the Tokyo Haneda airport. While specifics are often long awaited in cases like these, it’s generally understood that the incident included an accidental contact between Japan Airlines JAL-516 and a Japanese Coast Guard Dash-8. Charges against a 62-year old Michigan drone pilot have been dropped, after his lawyer tendered a copy of his Pilot certificate to the Oceana County Sheriff’s Office. The story gained some local notoriety after news broke that the pilot, Donald Muckel, had been arrested for flying a drone over an
electrical substation. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
