Introduction
There is a direct connection between liberalization and staff shortages in the U.S. aviation industry. The economic growth in the country contributes to the significant increase in traffic and the improvement of the financial state of people (Belobaba et al., 2016).
Discussion
These aspects allow individuals to travel more actively because they have more money, and the tickers cost less, which leads to a change in traffic flow patterns. It also makes the competition in the aviation sphere more vivid, and the industry has to work the improved efficiency, which is a complicated process. In addition, liberalization is among the key factors that make airline companies develop their networks.
There is a connection between the increasing number of low-costers and liberalization processes in the industry. For instance, common coster carriers allow more people to travel by aviation due to their high capacity (Kobierecki, 2021). Their prices are comparatively low, which satisfies the needs of numerous clients and leads to an overall decrease in costs for transportation services in aviation. Therefore, the industry’s traffic and competition grow due to the liberalization processes, and corporations need to adapt to these changes (Sobieralski, 2020). The staff shortage, in its case, is the logical consequence of the increased traffic and high competition in the sphere.
Conclusion
The number of people who work in aviation, including pilots and flight attendants, is limited, and it is impossible to prepare hundreds of specialists quickly. For this reason, the increasing number of low-cost carriers requires more professional staff, which is a major problem in their development (Sun et al., 2022). Therefore, liberalization contributes to the need for more employees in the American aviation sphere. It supposes the increasing number of carrier companies with high capacity, but the number of professionally prepared staff is limited.
