Demand for Pilots

Industry analysts report massive growth across the board for helicopter jobs. We have arrived at a historically significant moment for the helicopter aviation industry. A confluence of factors has emerged to reveal a wealth of opportunities for helicopter pilots who begin their helicopter flight training now. Upper Limit Aviation is prepared to offer students the opportunity to receive exceptional helicopter flight training to meet the demands of a booming aviation industry.

Visitors to the HELIEXPO 2013 HAI Job Fair discovered that a range of domestic and international companies are seeking trained helicopter pilots in record numbers. Interested parties should begin helicopter flight training soon in order to sieze these unprecedented opportunities.

The last forty years has seen a helicopter industry populated with pilots trained during the Vietnam era. It's a mathematical inevitability that those pilots are now reaching retirement age en masse. Those pilots are vacating some long held jobs and freeing up opportunities in the aviation industry. Additionally, the forecast for growth in the helicopter industry at large has resulted in a massive domestic and international pilot shortage. This year will see a record number of helicopters purchased by companies, and the next five years are expected to see similar growth.

There is simply not enough pilots to fill all the jobs that are available. Future pilots who are interested in an aviation career must consider the benefits of helicopter training at Upper Limit Aviation.

As more and more companies continue to find new ways to use helicopter pilots to improve the efficience of their operations, more pilots must be trained in order to fill those jobs. Help yourself by exploring the range of opportunities available to those who pursue helicopter pilot training at Upper Limit Aviation.

Retiring Vietnam Veterans Passing The Torch

After the war in Vietnam, the country had an unprecedented influx of workers available to take the reins in a growing helicopter industry. Now, as then, a group of soldiers returning home sees retiring Vietnam veterans passing the torch in all areas of the aviation industry. It's a matter of simple math, the helicopter industry is growing all over the world, and those honorable men who returned home to build an industry on the ground and in the air are reaching retirement age. Today's returning veterans represent a natural fit to carry on for yesterday's servicemen. The recent crop of retiring Vietnam veterans passing the torch are leaving at an ideal time for today's servicemen to take advantage of the flight school training funding provided by the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33).

Vietnam veterans came home to launch an industry, while veterans of recent conflicts are coming home to build and grow thriving businesses.
