Three ways to get your career going again |
|
 [Guest article by Rick Hogan, aviation author and MD11 first officer]
I came up with a new industry term (in my own mind) the other day after talking to a career-frustrated friend of mine: stagnation point. The stagnation point is when you reach a certain level in your career and begin to wonder if you’re ever going to make it to the next step.

One thing I’ve learned about moving past the stagnation point is that creating opportunities isn’t all about grinding out flight time. I was logging nearly 100 hours of multi-engine, multi-crew, turbine PIC month after month for a long time, and not seeing any results.

Future airline pilot hiring - a Q&A with Louis Smith |
 APC co-founder John Steinbeck sat down with Louis Smith, president of FltOps.com, to discuss where he sees airline pilot hiring heading the next few years:
Has a pilot hiring boom finally begun?
It is just beginning and will be the longest and largest pilot hiring spree in the history of the industry.
Which sectors will show the most promise for professional pilots?
Among the primary career sectors (major airlines, corporate/fractionals, foreign/expats), the majors will return to the preferred positions for many pilots. The last ten years have been the worst I have ever seen, but the next ten years will be the best.
