Aviation Management Education Study (AMES)

PI Jason Newcomer

The Aviation Management Education Study (AMES) is a longitudinal effort consisting of a series of research papers covering various facets of aviation education as it pertains to managers in the field and hiring of industry professionals.

In the last 34 years, corporate America and the aviation professions have changed due to (a) increased air travel, (b) outsourcing functions, (c) aviation research, (d) federal regulation, and (e) the changed U.S. economy (Katkin, et al., 2013; Mootien, Warren, Morris, & Enoch, 2013; Quinlan, Hampson, & Gregson, 2013; Rango & Laliberte, 2010). The specific business problem is the lack of current, correlated demographic data of aviation managers, as well as any resultant significance testing of the aforementioned data to determine if there are necessary academic pre-requisites to obtaining management positions in aviation.
