The holiday travel season brings concerns of what a pilot shortage could mean for overflowing flight schedules. That shortage could soon be alleviated. Purdue Polytechnic Institute has introduced a Degree in 3 program, which is intended to get more flight students trained and in the air a year sooner. The move is expected to save participating students $20,000 to $30,000 in tuition and living expenses. Also aiding the aviation program is new simulator technology. |
