A new poll indicates that over one third of the world’s qualified pilots are currently out of work, likely as a result of reduced travel during the ongoing CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.

A new survey conducted by GOOSE Recruitment, in tandem with industry publication FlightGlobal, indicated that only 62 percent of pilots are currently employed, with 20 percent unemployed and 6 percent currently on furlough.
