Jeff Green, Engagement Manager, Oliver Wyman

Presented during Session 3 - Pilot Supply - Addressing the Needs: Diversifying the Industry

Abstract

Oliver Wyman is conducting its second Flight Operations Survey, asking industry leaders about trends in pilot recruitment and engagement, gender diversity, and crew costs. Respondents span the aviation industry, including airline flight operations departments, OEMs, and 3rd party training & service companies.

This builds off Oliver Wyman's inaugural Flight Operations Survey, titled The Pilot of the Future, which found:

  • Pilot engagement is a key concern among Flight Operations leadership, but no silver bullet exists
  • As the pilot workforce becomes younger, airlines are coping with differences in generational learning styles
  • Most changes to the flight deck in the next decade will be common-use technologies and require relatively light investment
  • Increasing connectivity and Big Data remain largely untapped and exciting opportunities for Flight Operations departments – and airlines in general
