With airline security be a mind to the mind after several mortals or close Incidents in the Asphalles of the United States And in their skies, maintenance experts and legislators are asking for more support for training specialized jet maintenance.
President Donald Trump has also asked to reform the education system and increase the general efficiency of the government, with which Fox News Digital experts spoke online in line with their objectives as well. Delays and changes in the door at airports are also often attributed to the urgent maintenance of airplanes.
In the last session of the Congress, Senator Tim Scott, RS.C., unsuccessfully introduced the Law of Development of the Aviation Work Force to expand the qualified trial program “529” to include expenses for the maintenance of aviation and pilot training.
The hometown of Charleston de Scott is remarkably a center for the Boeing aircraft manufacturer, and the senator said that pilot and aviation maintenance works have a great demand and provide well -paid careers.

“Unfortunately, the extensive and expensive training they require has undermined the ability of Americans to take advantage of this vital industry,” Scott said, adding that he plans to reintroduce his bill in Congress soon.
“By giving parents flexibility with the money earned so much effort that they invest in 529 plans, this common sense legislation provides a way to make today’s students in tomorrow’s drivers. Providing our aviation sector with the necessary workforce to sustain the tremendous growth enjoyed by southern South South has enjoyed guarantee reliable and efficient. “
Meanwhile, the leader of one of the largest aircraft maintenance maintenance centers said that the challenge for adequate staff in the increasingly necessary field is one that needs support to continue feeding their “pipes of qualified professionals.”
Jason PFAFF, president of the Aviation Maintenance Institute, a school with 15 campus throughout the country that aims to fill the 13,000 annual work openings in his field of study, said the support is now necessary for these crucial roles.
“The aviation industry is based on highly trained experts to maintain safe and operational airplanes, however, many people do not realize the demand for these roles, or the impact they have on air trips,” said Pfaff.
He talked about meeting with a student who felt a social stigma about following a aircraft maintenance career, compared to what his friends sought to do in life.
However, that feeling changed when he made a first -hand tour to see aircraft maintainers do their job.

With the Mortal Crash from Hain’s Point, DC In the Potomac River last month, a Jet landing in Toronto and several other incidents, PFAFF said maintenance workers play a crucial role to guarantee safe air trips.
“(The Institute) is delighted to see a renewed approach in commercial careers, and we applaud leaders such as Senator Tim Scott for defending aviation education. Aviation maintenance is not just a job: it is a high career in high rating that keeps the moving world. As industry leaders and political leaders, we have a shared responsibility to highlight the incredible opportunities in this field.”
PFAFF said that some works in the field earn more than $ 150,000 per year for a 20 -year -old person and that thousands of applicants are needed, and Scott and others are right when calling attention to the need for such works.
José-Marie Griffiths, president of Dakota State University in South Dakota, said higher education is not “unique size” and that universities must play an important role in satisfying the changing needs of the United States labor market, either in the industrial sector or otherwise.
“Higher education institutions must adapt to meet the needs of students at different points of their lives and careers,” he said.

In the Chamber, the representative Max Miller, R-OHIO, also presented a bill similar to Scott’s in the last cycle, to increase the awareness of the technological education opportunities in the same way that PFAFF described.
Miller’s bill, if reintroduced, would establish a subsidies program of $ 1 million for such training in maintenance of airlines and similar fields, with the legislator saying in a statement that professional and technical education “enables students to explore exciting career options, discover their passions and develop real world skills that are in high demand.”
“A four -year title is not suitable for everyone, and our young people should know that they can lead successful careers based on technical experience. We cannot continue to reduce the role of professional and technical education in this country,” he said, as the national pressure continues to direct students towards standard university postsecundaria education.
