Things in the Sky

So, I’m home over winter break and trying to find things to fill the time before I head to work next week. Luckily, I stumbled upon MIT OpenCourseWare. For those who haven’t heard of it, the project is an effort to put course materials for all of MIT’s courses online for free. It isn’t an online college program though – no degrees or certificates are available. But, it puts a huge amount of great information out there.

Much to my surprise, there are actually a few airline-related courses that are available. The three that first caught my eye are Air Traffic Control, Airline Management, and Airline Schedule Planning. I’ve yet to look at them in-depth, but it looks like a great way to learn a bit more about the industry, and best of all, it’s free!
