you can drive a car but don't know how it works," he said.
He's hoping to stay in general aviation when he graduates this
summer. "I love reciprocating engines; with my private pilot
background, that's what I love."
Kelly Martin was also a private pilot when she enrolled at
PIA. She likes jet engines. "I'm hoping to get a call from Pratt &
Whitney. I like bigger, better, faster. It's a fantastic time to be an
aviation mechanic."
ANSWERING THE DEMAND
Forbes magazine named PIA the number one two-year trade
school in the nation in 2018. It is the second time the school
has been on the publication's top list. "PIA is a 370-student
gem," Forbes said in recognizing the school. "It is virtually
unknown outside the aviation industry, but its alumni out-earn
students from two-thirds of Forbes' highest-ranked four-year
colleges at a fraction of the price."
According to Boeing's aviation outlook for 2018-2037, which
has warned of a growing pilot shortage, the need for aviation
maintenance technicians has never been greater. Boeing's
forecast said that 189,000 new AMTs will be needed globally in
the next 20 years. Add to that a 30-percent retirement attrition,
according to a survey by the Aviation Technician Education
Council, and the job opportunities are great.
"We have a career-oriented-outcome mindset," Sabold said.
"PIA is a great return on your investment. There is nowhere
near the number of people to fill positions. I ask parents:
Where else does the employer come to you to interview
you? There's a tremendous need in the aviation industry, and
employers are getting that message out there."
Richard Myers graduated from PIA and now works for
Endeavor Air. He is in charge of hiring AMTs for the company. "I try hard to recruit from PIA as the product I receive
is normally a step above other candidates," he said. "I did not
realize how good the training I received was while attending
the school. Endeavor started a program recruiting A&Ps within
a few months of students entering the school. It gives the
students a connection with an airline to answer questions and
hopefully help them when they finish."
