NBAA chief executive Ed Bolen thinks the organization’s recent battle to stave off ATC privatization efforts and FAA reauthorization are lessons its members can use to address the business aviation industry’s next big test: the pilot and maintenance technician shortage. Some of those lessons, Bolen told attendees at the opening session of the NBAA Regional Forum today in Houston, can be applied at the member level to drive interest among high school and college students to consider careers in business aviation.
