Hello all,

For those that have already visited the “paper” folder in your d2l content, I hope you are ready to begin the assignment! I’d like to provide some talking points that you may want to include. There is a 1.5 Limit on history (unless your topic was over historical aircraft or airlines that are no longer in business). So here are a few other ideas that you can fill up those 5 pages of content with!

· History (1.5 pgs max)

· accidents from the airline

· company values, goals, objectives

· How to break into the industry/company (job requirements, leg ups, education,  etc).

· types of aircraft that are used/made by the airline or manufacturer (depending on topic)

· Any recent updates/news for the airline/company/industry

These are just a few good jumping off points to get those words flowing, but you really have some creative freedom as to what you write about, as long as it pertains to your assigned topic!

Hope that helps,
