Aviation Jobs: Something For Everyone
I have been a big fan of the aviation industry ever since my stint with PeoplExpress Airlines in Newark in 1984. The defunct carrier, long since absorbed by Continental Airlines, was one of the first airlines to take advantage of a deregulated industry. Cheap flights, onboard paying, and recycled airplanes were some of the hallmarks of the carrier. Years later the industry has changed dramatically, but to this day there are millions of people in the US whose jobs are directly or indirectly affiliated with the industry. Let?s take a look at the various job titles available today.
