My ex neighbor called up to wish me a Merry Christmas and we chatted . I asked him about his opinion on the pilot shortage [He was a Naval Aviator and retired an AA pilot] My thought was the military pooped out the best of the best pilots so what happened? He said the military wants 12 years of service, so the pilots go 8 more years because of the military retirement pay then go into Airline service if desired. Also with drones and Missiles there are less Military pilots.
What do you all think? The cost of Flight training is quite costly . And military pilots do the harder stuff in training and flying that the civilian trained pilot probably couldn't do.
