Want to be a Pilot at Qantas? Boeing recently released it’s Pilot and Technician Outlook for 2021-2040<\/a>. It anticipates 612,000 new pilots are needed to fly and maintain the global commercial fleet over the next 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the pandemic, the Asia-Pacific region was projected to account for 33% of the global need for pilots<\/a>. Today, we\u2019ll take a look at Qantas, which has been ranked one of the safest airlines in the world<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qantas trains, certifies, and examines the proficiency of more than 12,000 flight crew each year.  These pilots come from Qantas and from its customer airlines. Qantas has come quite some way since its first flight school – a hangar in Eagle Farm in Brisbane in 1927<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with qualified instructors, each center is equipped with flight simulators<\/strong>, aircraft cabin mock-ups, ditching pools and multimedia learning centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
