More than half of the world’s airline pilots no longer fly for a living amid falling demand during the coronavirus pandemic, and those who still fly feel less valued by their employers, a new survey released Thursday indicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll, conducted of nearly 2,600 pilots by U.K.-based firm GOOSE Recruitment and industry publication FlightGlobal, found that only 43% are doing the job they trained for, with 30% unemployed, 17% on temporary layoff and 10% in non-flying roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many pilots still flying face deteriorating working conditions. Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd of Hong Kong, for example, instituted permanent pay cuts of up to 58%, and Turkish Airways and Singapore Airlines Ltd temporarily reduced wages, Reuters reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We can also see the effect the pandemic has had on employed pilots,” GOOSE Recruitment CEO and founder Mark Charman said in a statement. “A large number feel insecure about their jobs, more plan to seek new roles this year and many feel less valued by their employers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eighty-four percent of unemployed pilots said their situation was due to the pandemic. Prior to COVID-19 there was a widespread pilot shortage that boosted demand for airmen and generated improved pay and conditions. Now, 82% of unemployed pilots would take a pay cut for a new opportunity, according to the survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among those who have kept their jobs, pilots in Europe said they are the most stressed by COVID-19, with respondents citing among their concerns the risk of contracting the virus, disjointed rules and the possibility of being quarantined during a rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forty percent of pilots said their mental health had been affected by the pandemic, with the figure highest among younger pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The amount of stress and anxiety the pandemic has caused me has permanently scarred my outlook on life,” said one pilot surveyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
