AVweb’s Question of the Week
Will there or won’t there be a shortage of controllers? The FAA is walking a new tightrope under a stricter budget, and NATCA believes trouble is on the horizon. What do you think? PLUS: Are piloting careers less glamorous these days? See what our readers think in the answers to last week’s Question.
Last week, AVweb asked how many of our readers would like to fly for a living.
As it turns out, visitors to a G.A. web site still think it's a pretty good gig - but the margin is shockingly slim! 44% of those who responded answered yes, while another 39% of you said These days? No, thank you.
And those readers who already work as pilots? 12% of our total respondents copped to being pilots who are happy with their jobs, while another 4% said That's my job, but I wish it weren't.
