MyGoFlight CEO Charles Schneider says support has grown for his Pilot One³ initiative since he challenged the aviation industry to unite to create more pilots at Sun ‘n Fun in April. The initiative aims to align resources from supplier organizations that can contribute value — such as money, products or services — with organizations that already work to recruit new aviation professionals and award them scholarships. The concept of Pilot One is simple: one aviation industry and 1 percent of revenue to create one pilot at a time.
