SWISS, Switzerland's national airline, will cancel about 1,400 flights until October due to a pilot shortage. Becoming a pilot is costly, with training expenses around €150,000. Pilot salaries in Europe vary significantly based on experience, with entry-level pilots earning much less than those with extensive experience. Average salaries range from €32,299 in Romania to €113,672 in Switzerland, with Western and Northern European countries generally offering higher pay. The global pilot shortage is driving salary increases, with predictions of a shortage of 80,000 pilots by 2032. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
