The US government considers aviation to be a critical infrastructure as reflected in government publications developed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Aviation represents a large part of the US economy and pilots are integral to its operations. Concerns about pilot shortages have grown because the expected growth in air traffic in the coming decades will require many more pilots. Pilot unions are complaining that low pilot pay and the cost of training to earn a commercial license is making it unaffordable for prospective pilots. Cyber security vulnerabilities are likely to increase as the NexGen air traffic control system comes online and more automation is used in the aviation system. Cockpit crew composition has shrunk as technology was developed to reduce the number of crew required and this process will continue until fully autonomous commercial passenger transports are a reality.
