NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Boeing says the airline industry will need to hire more than one million workers over the next 20 years to prepare for a wave of 30,000 new aircraft.

The airlines will need to hire 466,650 pilots and 596,500 maintenance crew workers between 2010 and 2029, the aircraft maker said Thursday.

Wait what??

I dont understand this. Why is Boeing suddenly flush with cash?

Or is it to make up for the shortfall because they pay these workers little and treat them like crap?

Oh I see "Over the next 20 years" hrm.. what would be the opposite of cautiously optimistic?

It is relatively well known that the air industry must be renewed in future periods,and that you go out with this in a turbulent time of economic uncertainty, many benefits primarily market and of course Gov.och ultimately they potent workers who can then get a job,Boeing are a leader in many segments which naturally gives, shares the owner an extra boost.

This is all distant predictions. I personally hope they're true, but a lot of this hangs on the nearer prediction that the economy will recover soon. And that's kind of up in the air at the moment...

But if the wind blows south-south-west... certainly air travel needs to and will have to improve and expand soon!

It's paying for the bags and other tac-ons the airlines use. Airlines are starting to turn a profit which translates to more newer aircraft maybe. I know the fleet has aged.

LOL

What the airline fat cats need are about one million indentured servants.

OK they have orders to build 30,000 planes over the next 20 years, but are there really going to be 1million new jobs created? No. These new aircarft will replace older existing aircraft and the older existing maintenance and flight crews will retrain on maintaining and flying the new ones and all up you might see a slight increase in the number of people employed in these jobs and yes new blood wil flow into the ranks but a million new. Pfffff what a crock.
