(online.wsj.com) More planes are flying than ever before, but the number of people who do everything from piloting them to fixing them isn't keeping pace. The growing shortage is raising fresh concerns about air safety.

Industry and government experts are worried that a looming dearth of pilots, aircraft inspectors and air-traffic controllers around the world could place new strains on maintaining some of the advances in airline safety of the past two decades.

DayJet growth slows due to lack of funding

(www.aopa.org) DayJet has grounded all but 12 of its 28 Eclipse 500 jets used in its Florida-based air taxi service and has laid off 100 of its 260 employees after failing to find an additional $40 million in operating capital this year.

The company will defer deliveries of what a spokeswoman termed “dozens” of new Eclipse 500 jets planned for this year. However, DayJet official Vicky Harris said that will result in other Eclipse customers moving up in the line ahead of DayJet and getting their aircraft sooner than expected. No deliveries to DayJet are anticipated for the rest of the year.

(ap.google.com) Southwest, Northwest, United, and JetBlue are just some of the airlines extending their flights by one to three minutes.

It's not a big change for travelers, but the numbers say otherwise. Southwest projects savings up to $42 million this year.
