Post 4: Rhetoric about Rhetorical
Laura Bolin Carroll says it like this, "The more we know about how to analyze situations and draw informed conclusions, the better we can become about making savvy judgments about the people, situations and media we encounter." (Carroll, 45) Imagine working as a professional where people rely upon you to do your job so well that they trust and count upon you for the most precious times of life. The birth of a child, attending a graduation or wedding, taking a long time planned vacation or saving the life of someone special, aviation does all these. It is a relatively small amount of professional who devote their careers to this amazing industry.
So many options for such a small community of professionals, line service, flight attendant, dispatcher, gate agent, operations manager, engineer, designer, pilot and mechanic, all work like a well oiled machine to make the everyday flight have exceptional results.
What started as a hobby is now a very rewarding career. However, with the steady increase in passenger traffic, the level of personal service decreased. The stresses of air travel began to replace the thrill. Flying was no longer a novelty or an adventure; it was becoming a necessity. (airandspace online). The once exceptional has become routine, and it takes this dedicated group of professional to maintain this appearance. Aviation started as a dream so many years ago and remains a dream for those who choose to make this their career choice.
