2010 Pilot Source Study
In February 20, 2010, a consortium of educators, regional airlines, and interested parties met to discuss a response to the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), entered into the Federal Register on February 8. The group agreed on the protocol for addressing the following “research question”: What were the characteristics of pilots who were hired by the U.S. regional airlines between 2005 and 2009, and how did these characteristics relate to their success in regional airline training? They also addressed ANPRM QUESTION 2A: Are aviation/pilot graduates from accredited aviation university degree programs likely to have a more solid academic knowledge base than other pilots hired for air carrier operations? Why or why not? Find the Results and Summary of this effort under "Member News" in the Members Only Section.
