Lone flight service to and from a City in Pennsylvania pulled out due to pilot shortage
Residents from Williamsport, Pennsylvania, US, have to travel to another city to catch flights as the last remaining flight service back and forth to the city was pulled out due to pilot shortage. The lack of flight service is affecting the city’s economy and is another sign of the move by US Airlines to reduce their operation using less than 50 seat capacity aircraft. According to consulting firm Zwelbar-Zhong, U.S. operators will operate 40% less flights using small regional jets in March 2022 than they did in March 2019. The main driver for these airline decisions is that the sub-50 seat aircraft require two pilots, like larger types, but result in less revenue potential.

Epic Flight Academy and Polk State College have signed a Partnership Agreement
Epic Flight Academy has signed an articulation agreement with Polk State College (PSC). The agreement establishes that graduates of Epic’s FAA Part 147 Aircraft Mechanic Program can transfer their FAA Airframe & Powerplant certificate to PSC for 30 college credit hours. Polk State College will apply these credits toward an associate’s degree in Aviation Maintenance Administration.
“We are thrilled to partner with Polk State College,” said Epic CEO and founder Danny Perna. “Aviation maintenance technicians are in high demand, so students are initially attracted to our program because of the good pay and benefits. However, being able to provide a pathway for a college degree is something we’re especially excited about. It gives our students even more options.”
Eric Crump, Aerospace Program Director at Polk State College said, “Polk State College is proud to partner with Epic Flight Academy to help address the critical need for qualified aviation maintenance technicians. Together, we can provide our graduates with the skills they need to be successful throughout their career journey.”
The Aircraft Mechanic Program at Epic takes approximately 19 months to complete with new classes starting three times per year. Students have the option to complete their training at Epic and then transfer to PSC or take college classes while earning their A&P certificate.
Epic Flight Academy, established in 1999, is located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. The school provides pilot and aviation maintenance training. Polk State College, established in 1964, is a multi-campus college with its main campus in Winter Haven, Florida. The college offers both associate’s degrees and bachelor’s degrees.
