Helo pilot shortage?

"Skywise" wrote in message
...
Just a curiosity question, but just heard a radio commercial
for some helicopter pilot school that will take you all the
way to your commercial license in 18 months, all costs defered
until graduation "because of the extreme shortage of helicopter
pilots."

No, I'm not considering the program.

So, is there a shortage?



That's what they told me prior to starting A&P school. "Oh, the USA is has a
shortage of (something like) 10,000 mechanics."

So, while I was in school, 9-11 happened, I finished school and got my A&P,
but... well... I still repair printing presses for a living...
