The momentum is accelerating! Aviation-related talents are in high demand...and not just for pilots. There is demand for A&P mechanics, air traffic controllers, corporate dispatchers, administrative managers, etc. For some, being a ramp agent is the start of their aviation career which is why they're featured on the cover of our Spring 2024 Edition that was released this week! Read about Justin's experience below.
Teachers - Look for programs being offered at your local aviation events. Many of them include various educational and experiential workshops to inspire educators to the wonders of aviation and STEM.

"As an aspiring commercial airline pilot and for all the avgeeks out there, it's our dream to be around aircraft, to work with them, to service them like they are ours. We have a personal connection to every aircraft that no on else has. We have our rituals of geeking over planes, and we have our shared sense of sheer excitement and happiness when we are put around these aircraft. So to be able to work as a Delta Air Lines ramp agent has been a dream come true for me. It was a very fond and major step in my journey to the airline cockpit."
