Introduction:
I started becoming interested in aviation
when I was around 10 years old. I was very fascinated watching big aircraft fly
over fly house. I began to look up different types of aircraft and try to guess
what aircraft I was watching. I became interest in airports when I took my
first flight when I was 13. I went on many different visits to airports around
my area to watch planes take off and land. Later in high school I was set that
I wanted to become a pilot.
When I first started looking at
universities I made sure they had flight programs that would allow me to start
my career. Further into my recruitment I discovered a change in mindset. I
began looking into the business world and what opportunities lied within
certain industries. I came across Eastern Michigan University through baseball
recruitment. I noticed they had an Aviation Management Degree available and I
quickly decided, that was the path I wanted to take. This degree was perfect as
it had both aviation and business linked together. I am currently a senior at
Eastern Michigan University and I plan to graduate the summer of 2017.
With my degree I plan to become a
manager of flight operations for an air carrier such as Air Canada or Jazz
airlines. The job description lies perfectly within what I have learned here at
Eastern. I have spoken to a couple flight operators and have heard nothing but
great things. I realize that you have to pay your dues within the airline so
working with customers or baggage will likely become the start but I have that
end goal of flight operations.
Due to my interest in flight
operations, hearing from current managers of flight operations would be greatly
beneficial. Also, Airport managing is another career that interests me but I am
uncertain of the pros and cons. This would be another topic that I would like
to discuss in class.
