  2. An Aging Workforce: Lost Knowledge A Changing Demographic 1990 = 1.1 mill. total workers 2006 = 630,000 total workers Average Age of an Aerospace Worker in 2006 = 45 Workers 25 to 34: 1992 = 27% 2006 = 15% In 2006 one out of four were eligible for retirement.

  3. Market Instability: The Cost of Jobs Every major U.S. carrier has outsourced repair work. U.S. airlines spent 64% of their maintenance budgets at outsourced facilities last year, up from 37% in 1996. High rates of worker displacement Lack of portable credentials
