1. 33 Youth Fly at North Perry Airport Day
Matthew was one of 33 youth that experienced flying over South Florida for the first time on Saturday, November 12. It was an EAA Young Eagles flight hosted by the North Perry Airport Community Association (NPACA.net). It is a collective effort on behalf of the EAA and local pilots to introduce youth to the opportunities available in aviation.
2. United gives pilots 5% raises early after contract talks turn rocky

3. How airlines plan to create a new generation of pilots amid fears of decade-long cockpit crisis
An acute pilot shortage for major airlines including United, Delta, American and Southwest is forcing the industry to rethink how it trains pilots and recruits the next generation of aviation labor in the cockpit.
