TUCSON, Ariz. — Once a World War II military base, Ryan Airfield in west Tucson is now being used to train the next generation of commercial pilots.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects there will be nearly 17,000 job openings for commercial pilots each year through 2032.Students at Arizona Aero Tech flight school, located at Ryan Airfield, are taking advantage. “The airlines just bumped up their starting wages from about $60,000 to $100,000," Aero Tech President Tim Amalong said."A lot of them then work for me as instructors and after a year and a half they have their hours they need to go to the airlines.”“We haven’t seen a shortage, even over the summer when it’s really hot we’ve been really busy," Amalong said.
“The fact that Tucson and southern Arizona plays such a big part in training pilots of the future makes this airport so special and important to the region," Austin Wright with the Tucson Airport Authority said.
