Holm Auto Good News: Bill to help alleviate NOAA pilot shortage

Flying into a hurricane to collect real-time weather data might be the dream storm-chaser job.
Under a new program in legislation introduced by U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., passed by both chambers of Congress and sent to the president for his signature, it could be possible to train for the job and have college expenses paid at the same time.
Moran’s fiscal year 2021 Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies bill included $1.5 million within NOAA to support programs aimed at recruiting and training pilots for service in the Commissioned Officer Corps of NOAA. Moran is chairman of the subcommittee.
