Last year, government made Uljin pilot institute because of the shortage of pilots. However, they only can have 200 flight times and it is much less than 250 flight times which is airline’s minimum requirements. One student said “they told me it is less expensive than go to the overseas and we could be a pilot but actually we can’t apply because of flight times.”(Student, Uljin flight institute) And furthermore, there is more problem because they spend more than 50,000,000won and if they want to meet requirement they spend more money and it is just like same to go to the overseas.

I once thought to enter this pilot school. Because it is operating by government so I think government gives a lot of benefit for the student. But, actually there is lot of problem such as the article as above. When government made a plan they should care about the student because they stake their life on the pilot.
