The airline industry has seen an ongoing pilot shortage globally, much of it fueled by mass retirement. With demand for air travel increasing  and passenger numbers reaching record highs, there is a critical need for training qualified pilots in the aviation industry. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipates approximately 16,800 job openings for pilots annually.

This is music to the ears of Paul Sallach, founder and president of All In Aviation, who will be our special guest speaker at the Christian Business Network (CBN) luncheon on Thursday, April 9, at the beautiful Ahern Hotel at 300 W. Sahara Avenue (just west of the Las Vegas Strip). Parking is free in the Ahern’s covered parking garage.

Paul was raised in Alberta and Vancouver, Canada, and later attended the University of North Dakota – the leading aviation university in the world – where he met his wife Lindsay, who is also a pilot, flight instructor and co-owner of All In Aviation. The two were longtime flight instructors, and Paul eventually moved into sales and marketing to showcase the newest models of available aircraft to prospective clients. The Sallachs soon married and relocated to Las Vegas in 2009 for Paul to work for Lone Mountain Aircraft, specializing in sales.

The Sallachs launched All in Aviation in 2016, and a year later partnered with another couple on a 5-acre, 25-hanger development at the Henderson Executive Airport to offer training and flight instruction. Paul remains an active aircraft sales broker at All In Aviation with more than 1,200 transactions, and is a certified ATP (Airline Transport Pilot and CFII (Certified Flight Instructor, Instrument. All in Aviation has grown tremendously as the Sallachs help meet the urgent need for well-trained pilots, and their company has been awarded numerous business and industry awards. Paul was named Small Business Person of the Year in 2020 for the state of Nevada by the U.S. Small Business Administration, and was also recognized as one of the Top 40 influential professionals in Las Vegas in 2021.

The Sallachs are active in their church and live in Henderson with their two children, Anna & Quintin.
