If you haven't seen the documentary called "Flying Cheap", please watch - Flying Cheap. This documentary is about the regional airline industry, focusing on two aspects. First, there is a discussion of the Colgan accident and factors that may have contributed to the accident. Second, the documentary presents information about the career of a regional pilot.
Keeping this documentary in mind, please answer the following questions:
1) What is the specific job and company in the aviation industry that you would like to end up at? You must be specific on both to receive full-credit for this question. Remember - you have the freedom to change down the road...
2) Provide a basic description of the job and company that you listed in 1).
3) Are there any safety/liability concerns with the job you listed in 1)? If so, what are they and how do you plan on mitigating these concerns? (*Hint: there are always concerns in this industry.)
4) I proposed that one theme in the events that led up to the Colgan accident was the lack of professionalism. Answer the following three questions related to professionalism:
* 1) Define professionalism in your own words.
* 2) List two ways in which lack of professionalism was demonstrated in this documentary. Remember: Both pilots and management can lack professionalism.
* 3) List two specific ways you plan on maintain and expand your level of professionalism once you are employed in the job that you listed in 1). These ways must be independent of the requirements of the job.
Have fun!
