如果rú guǒ你nǐ需要xū yào一yī份fèn工作gōng zuò,你nǐ可以kě yǐ考虑kǎo lǜ接受jiē shòu培训péi xùn成为chéng wéi民航mín háng飞行员fēi xíng yuán,把bǎ家jiā搬bān到dào中国Zhōng guó。

波音Bō yīn公司gōng sī预测yù cè,未来wèi lái20年nián,从cóng全球quán qiú各gè地区dì qū对duì飞行员fēi xíng yuán及jí机组人员jī zǔ rén yuán的de需求xū qiú量liàng看kàn,亚太Yà Tài地区dì qū需求xū qiú最zuì大dà。

这zhè一yī地区dì qū的de经济jīng jì增长zēng zhǎng将jiāng带动dài dòng财富cái fù和hé出行chū xíng的de增长zēng zhǎng。

到dào2037年nián,亚太Yà Tài需要xū yào增加zēng jiā24万wàn名míng飞行员fēi xíng yuán及jí31万wàn7千qiān名míng机组人员jī zǔ rén yuán,这zhè些xiē需求xū qiú的de一yī半bàn来自lái zì中国Zhōng guó。

目前mù qián,民航mín háng业yè已经yǐ jīng面临miàn lín飞行员fēi xíng yuán短缺duǎn quē等děng问题wèn tí。

未来wèi lái十shí年nián,一yī批pī飞行员fēi xíng yuán将jiāng因yīn年龄nián líng退休tuì xiū,而ér同时tóng shí直升机zhí shēng jī观光guān guāng及jí私人sī rén豪华háo huá飞机fēi jī等děng商业shāng yè航空háng kōng服务fú wù的de需求xū qiú正在zhèng zài增长zēng zhǎng。

尽管jǐn guǎn波音Bō yīn已经yǐ jīng加快jiā kuài了le其qí飞行员fēi xíng yuán培养péi yǎng项目xiàng mù,但dàn其qí生产shēng chǎn线xiàn却què不bù足以zú yǐ满足mǎn zú日益rì yì增长zēng zhǎng的de行业háng yè需求xū qiú。

如果rú guǒ没有méi yǒu飞行员fēi xíng yuán,飞机fēi jī便biàn也yě无wú用yòng。

分析fēn xī人士rén shì警告jǐng gào称chēng,飞行员fēi xíng yuán短缺duǎn quē或huò将jiāng威胁wēi xié航空háng kōng业yè增长zēng zhǎng。

此外cǐ wài,波音Bō yīn市场shì chǎng展望zhǎn wàng一般yī bān还hái用yòng在zài对duì新xīn飞机fēi jī生产shēng chǎn的de预测yù cè。

不bù出chū意外yì wài,亚太Yà Tài地区dì qū在zài全球quán qiú对duì新xīn飞机fēi jī的de需求xū qiú方面fāng miàn也yě将jiāng最zuì大dà。
