AABI Town Hall MeetingUSAAP-The Concept Small University Accredited Program Thoughts Regarding the Impact Auburn University
The Selection & Allocation Process • To what extent would the institution be involved in selecting candidates? • What would be the calculus for choice of institution: student preference, USAAP designation based on cost factors, on program size, etc. ? • The Role of the institution • The institution’s allocation of students • Answers to these questions may effect relative market demand among the institutions
Impact on the institution • How can the institution aid in candidate screening? • What is the potential for government and industry financial support for capital investment under the USAAP program? • Is bigger any better? • Screening of candidates • Increased costs of personnel and capital investment needed to meet additional program requirements. • Potential USAAP cost containment measures adversely affecting small university programs.
Impact in the institution’s students • Could students currently enrolled compete for USAAP sponsorship? • To what degree will a candidate have a choice as to which program to enter? • Recruitment and selection of candidates • Market assessment and the student’s decision regarding programs
Impact on industry • How is industry’s interest supported should reduction in the number of aviation programs occur? • Is there a common candidate profile that is representative of the air transport industry as a whole? • Diversity in competition • Industry participation in recruitment and selection
Final Thoughts • USAAP: thinking outside the box • Quality commercial pilots flying under Parts 121 and 135: a public good warranting across the board funding • Capital investment • Student costs subsidized • Industry-wide financial commitment
