United to use its flight academy to create diverse pipeline of pilots

Scott Olson/Getty United Airlines says it will train 5,000 pilots this decade, including taking on applicants with no flying experience, and plans for half of them to be women or people of color. United will borrow an approach used elsewhere, notably at Germany’s Lufthansa, by taking people at the beginning of their flying careers and training them at its own academy, which it bought last year. United will continue to draw pilots from traditional sources such as the military, however. Airline officials said they will begin accepting applicants for United’s flight academy on Tuesday. The subject of a pilot shortage it is not universally accepted that one exists was hotly discussed in the airline industry before the pandemic hit, then receded as airlines around the world grounded planes and reduced their pilot ranks in response to the the plunge in air travel.
