The commercial aviation industry is a major part of the U.S. transportation infrastructure and a key contributor to the nation's economy.

This book is a study of the civilian training and education programs needed to satisfy the work-force requirements of the commercial aviation industry in the year 2000 and beyond, with particular emphasis on issues related to access to aviation careers by women and minorities.
