In this TAC Analysis, we revisit the potential re-arrival of a pilot shortage, and how it may quickly become the limiting factor in the recovery. Crucially, while regional airlines were a welcome source of strength during the COVID pandemic, the lack of pilots in the United States could quickly turn the strongest regional jet market on its head. At play are both the near-term effects of staffing flight decks affecting the world, as well as the long-term challenges unique to the United States -- where pilot supply issues have already exposed an acute operational strain on the system.
A modified ATR 42 began flight trials last week in Connecticut as part of an effort to test technology for single-pilot operations.
In this TAC Analysis, we focus on these nuanced dynamics of the airline pilot seniority list, and the ways in which the airlines and pilots could work together to weather this unprecedented excess in payroll.
