In their glory days, regional not easily achieved but was an outgrowth of to deal with the aftermath of terrorist attacks, economic downturns and the dramatic rise Photos by shutterstock.com in fuel prices, regional carriers were given a greater role in shaping airlines’ networks. And when major network carriers began focusing on more lucrative international routes, they worked with their regional partners to counter not only the rise in fuel costs but also the advent of low-cost carriers that now have a significant presence. In this ever-chang- ing landscape, the relationship between net- work carriers and their regional partners have evolved from being one of a dominant master and subservient subject to one of business partners sharing a common goal of maximizing profitability through cost-effective and efficient operations. The relationship between network and regional carriers is typically governed by a capacity purchase agreement, or CPA, that usually involves a fixed fee for departure or cost-plus contract. Under the bylaws of these agreements, regional carriers were restricted to operate a limited number of aircraft below an agreed seat capacity and on specific routes through specific pilot scope clauses, and they were, in effect, under the strategic control of the network carrier.

  • Analysis of the Airline Pilot Shortage
    Scientia et Humanitas: A Journal of Student Research Analysis of the Airline Pilot Shortage Victoria Crouch Abstract The pilot shortage in the United States currently affects airlines and pilots drastically. The airlines have been forced to implement new solutions to recruit and retain pilots. These solutions include dramatic pay raises and cadet programs. One of the most significant causes of the pilot shortage is the aviation industry’s rapid growth. Other factors include the aging pilot popula- tion and high flight training costs. In addition, regional airlines, a major source of pilots for major airlines, have a historically low pay rate, which deters pilots from wanting to work for them. This situation is compounded by a lack of hiring in the 2000s for various reasons. The effects of the pilot shortage include decreased flights, loss of revenue, and closing of some re- gional airlines. Airlines have implemented various solutions aimed at increasing the number of pilots. These include an increased pay rate, job pathway programs through universities, and guaranteed interviews or jobs. The solutions proposed will likely prove their effectiveness in minimizing the pilot shortage over the next decade. Note: This research was correct prior to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has affected the airline industry. 92 Spring 2020 Scientia et Humanitas: A Journal of Student Research A global pilot shortage currently affects not only pilots but also their employ- ers. As a result, commercial airlines are forced to ground aircrafts because there are not enough pilots to fly them. Analysts project that the airlines will be short 8,000 pilots by 2023 and 14,139 pilots by 2026 (Klapper and Ruff-Stahl, 2019).
