533 Words3 Pages

I don’t know if this is a definite future predetermined goal for me but, my current job is affected by it and what I do know is that it is currently affecting the Military and Airline Industry and their shortage of pilots in both industries. For those that are involved in the aviation sector, have probably heard that there has been a huge shortage of pilots due to the growing demand of pilots. The demands for pilots have increased worldwide due to growth rates in passenger demand and aircraft fleets growing to accommodate these increases. As we learned in Chapter 3, the definition The “Law of Demand- as the price of a good rises, the quantity demanded of the good falls, and as the price of a good falls, the quantity demanded of the good rises, ceteris paribus” (Arnold, 2016). This shortage of pilots due to the rising demand has caused many airlines to reduce scheduled flights and some …show more content…

A person paying out of their own pocket to secure all the FAA certifications can expect to pay about $100,000 dollars for the education and flight training alone discouraging many Aviator prospects from chasing their dreams in the Aviation sector (Statista, n.d.). Another cause to the shortage of pilots is that “a very large proportion of current pilots will reach retirement age leaving a considerable gap of expertise. As of 2016, the average age of airline pilots worldwide was estimated to be about 45 years of age. Amidst the oncoming wave of aviation retirees, the major area for training and recruitment of major airline pilots — regional carriers and the military — are also struggling to find and keep aviators” (Statista, n.d.). According to Chapter 3 in our text, shortage or (Excess Demand) means a condition in which the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied. Shortages occur only at prices below the equilibrium price (Arnold,

Let’s say something happens and the supply or demand changes. This will affect the price and quantity of the items (p 100). If demand increases, then the number of items supplied by the producers increases but there is also an increase in price since they know the item is in high demand and people’s willingness to spend goes up and vice versa. If supply increases, then the number of items wanted by the consumers increases, but to get rid of that excess supply the prices go down and vice versa (p 95). Think of it as a clearance sale where they can’t lose too much money on each product but since it’s in such high demand they can still make a profit at a lower price.

This is evident in the simple supply and demand graph; as price goes up, supply will increase as more suppliers will be willing to supply at a high price, but the demand will decrease due to the high price, causing a surplus of products. A real life example would be the milk industry in the United States, where governments put a price floor above the equilibrium price to support the suppliers, causing a great surplus of dairy products. Another example is the San Francisco Earthquake in 1987, after the disaster the demand for bottled water increased drastically, causing a right shift of the demand curve in the market of water, however the supply of bottled water also decreased due to damaged pipes, therefore the price of bottled water increased. Many other suppliers may sell bottled water at that time with a very high price, this is called price gouging. High prices often does two things that benefits the economy, one is that it encourages the consumer to conserve the product and not waste it, the other is that it encourages suppliers to supply when a product is

The statement C which states that a shortage exists a below equilibrium prices is true about demand and supply. I said that because at any price below the equilibrium price, demand exceeds supply so there is a shortage in the market. According to what DJ Econ say"price is different ‘cause it changes quantity instead.” I believe DJ Econ meant that the amount of a good we buy depends on its price.

The airline industry needs huge capital investment to enter and even when airlines have to exit the sector, they need to write down and absorb many losses. This means that the entry and exit barriers are high for the airline industry. As entry into the airline industry needs a high infusion of capital, not everybody can enter the industry, which in addition, needs sophisticated knowledge and expertise on part of the players, which is a deterrent. Moreover, the airline industry leverages the efficiencies and the synergies from the economies of scale and hence, the entry barriers are high.
