Hey all,

I found out today that Boeing estimates that 18,000 pilots per annum will need to be trained to fill the front seats in aviation until 2028. As airframe manufacturers, I would think that their estimates are likely to be well considered projections as to their market in the coming years.

Interestingly, even with the downturn, both Boeing and Airbus still delivered a large proportion of the aircraft ordered for delivery in the past 12 months. I cant remember the exact numbers, but we are looking at well above 90 % of the aircraft ordered.

That's good news for everyone.

looking forward to my flying lessons this weekend !!!!!!!
