hubcap Posted June 20 Report Posted June 20 It looks like the airlines are sloooowing way down on hiring while the flight schools are still cranking our hopeful future airline captains. There is sure to be a glut of pilots at some point in the not so distant future. GA planes are not getting any more affordable to purchase or operate and fewer new planes are entering the fleet than are being taken out of service... So, how does this look a few years down the road? More demand for GA planes? Prices continue to rise as a result? Just curious what the group thinks GA looks like in 15 or 20 years. Quote
Parker_Woodruff Posted June 20 Report Posted June 20 From my desk, it sure seems like we are breaking airplanes and exporting airplanes them faster than we are building them. A lot of people have purchased planes to build time for the airlines and many will sell them when they get to 1500 hours. The pre-owned airplane market appears to have softened a bit, but I don't think it will crater. 4 Quote
Pinecone Posted June 21 Report Posted June 21 I don't think that most of the ones trying for the airlines will stick with GA. They will move on to another career and chase the big bucks. Some will love flying and stay with it and hopefully will be able to find a job/career that will support that. Quote
Fritz1 Posted June 21 Report Posted June 21 unlimited number of variables, aviation and general aviation has reinvented itself over and over again during the last 120 years and will continue to do so, man always had a primal desire to fly, biggest obstacle on the horizon is crumbling maintenance and technical support infrastructure, curious what electric airplanes will do over the next 20 years and when there will be a new form of propulsion Quote
