Washington sets aside $240 million for pilot shortages as busy summer travel season starts

Congress is setting aside $240 million to fix pilot shortages, a problem that has dogged the airline industry in recent years and caused delays for travelers trying to get to their destinations.

The new money was tucked inside the recent reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration. It will flow to schools and other groups focused on aviation-related education to allow them lower costs for students and provide more services.
