Job Plans

                My job plan at the beginning of the course was to get a job in aviation and upon graduation look for a job in airport operations. My plans have changed a little. While I currently work in aviation as a deicer for ASIG, it is only temporary. Once the deicing season is approaching the end, I plan to look for another aviation job either in an airline or an FBO working on the ramp. I plan to do that for a least a year or two because I feel that I need to gain more experience working in aviation before I look for an entry level management position in airport operations. 

                My plan upon graduation is to finish the deicing season and get another job working for an FBO or an airline on the ramp while gaining my CM (Certified Member) from the AAAE. After working for an FBO or an airline for a year or two, I plan to look for a position as an Airport Operations Specialist at an airport authority or something similar. If I get a position in airport operations, I will go obtain my AAE certification. 

                The most useful topic we discussed are global airlines and the Export-Import Bank because there is a good chance that I will be working for an airline sometime in the future either on the ramp or management. Knowing how other airlines compete against U.S carriers and how foreign airlines acquire new Boring aircraft provides insight on how the aviation industry works internationally. I feel the least useful topic we discussed is commercial space because I feel that it is more of a bucket-list item than I viable means of transportation. I personally do not see any company providing transportation from point A to point B via space anytime soon.
