There is a projected shortage of 50,000 commercial pilots by 2030 — assuming COVID ever eases off. So, analogous to the fervid recruitment of COBOL programmers, they are trying to recruit anyone who has either had a pilot's license or a subscription to any kind of flying magazine.
I have a friend with a drug conviction — about the only thing that will disqualify you from getting a pilot's license. He has been recruited, with assurance that the company will be able to get around the law on that point. Like you, the day I finished such a course, I would be several years past the mandatory retirement age for commercial pilots. (But they will probably ease that if the shortage gets bad enough.) davew On Wed, Aug 12, 2020, at 7:53 PM, Frank Wimberly wrote: > I just got an email from a flight training program offering me a nine month > course to get a multi engine commercial license.
