If you’re a young adult exploring career options, there’s one opportunity that’s soaring higher than ever before: becoming a pilot. Whether you’re looking for a thrilling job, long-term stability, or a lifestyle that’s anything but ordinary, flying could be the perfect fit.
And the best part? Alpine Aviation, based in Oasis, Idaho, is ready to help you earn your license and launch your aviation career.
The Pilot Shortage Is Creating Massive Opportunity
Over the next decade, the aviation industry is facing a critical shortage of pilots. Here’s what that means for you:
- More than 45,000 airline pilots in the U.S. are expected to retire by 2034 (GAO.gov)
- That’s about 27% of the current U.S. pilot workforce (CAE Aviation Talent Forecast)
- Airlines need thousands of new pilots each year just to meet demand (FLT Academy)
- Globally, Boeing predicts a need for over 600,000 new pilots by 2043—with 120,000+ needed in North America alone (Boeing Outlook)
If you start training now, you’ll be in high demand by the time you’re ready to fly professionally.
Becoming a pilot isn’t just a dream job — it’s a practical, in-demand career that offers:
Competitive Pay
Commercial and airline pilots often earn $100,000+ per year, with senior pilots earning $200,000 or more at major carriers (AP News).
Real Adventure
As a pilot, you’re not stuck in an office. You’ll travel, see new places, and live a life full of variety and purpose.
Long-Term Stability
This isn’t a short-term trend. With so many retirements on the horizon, job security is strong for the next 20+ years (Capital Analytics).
Lifestyle Flexibility
Pilots enjoy flexible schedules, time off between flights, and the ability to work in different parts of the country—or even the world.
