Long-term demand for newly qualified aviation personnel is on a steep ascent. Boeing projects that 674,000 new pilots will be needed to fly and maintain global commercial fleets over the next 20 years. However, women make up less than 5 percent of pilots in the United States. Black female pilots are estimated at less than 1 percent.
