MBA Discrimination common at other airline companies?
AT American Airliens, there's limited advancement without an MBA. We call it the MBA upper class. Do other companiies have a similar issue in their companies? Or is this a purely American Airlines issue?
Nobody cares in tech
Get an MBA and move up. It's a system
Not that simple. You have to be new-hired in into the MBA track that has the double salary. If you get an MBA, doesn’t automatically make you part of the program, so you stay on the shitty lower pay scale even if it does help you move up. Best answer to “how do I move up?” Is really just find a new system, aka new job/company.
American Airlines discriminates against their customers every day, oh, you paid for a flight, well not enough other people bought a ticket so we are cancelling the flight
Well I mean that's pretty reasonable though. Do you expect them to send jets across the country that are mostly empty?
That’s pretty much a lie (or rare case scenario at best), planes need to go, full or not, as they must turn and take passengers from the next destination to the following despite a singular leg being empty. Wah wah airlines wah
It depends upon the company. Some require an MBA for any Sr. Management positions. At some, it depends in the profession. You may not need an MBA in engineering, but you do in Finance, HR, and Marketing. You need to decide: are you going to play the game or find a new one?
AA discriminates by which bankrupt carrier you came from. It’s a lot harder without an elite MBA to move beyond minion status anywhere
You could say the same about undergraduate degrees. It's not discrimination.
Get an online MBA, have the company pay tuition.
No such restrictions at SWA
LOL. Funny if Scott Kirby returns to AA as CEO and fires those in power oops leading AA currently. Hilarious maybe.
Yeah, that's not discrimination...
Technically not discrimination, but favoritism at least. I see how on the outside it could seem sensical, and generally MBAs are better than Non, but the AA system doesn’t work. View company performance as evidence.
True at AA and all other major carriers that recruit directly at business schools. And be careful with some of the suggestions on here, Online/low-ranked MBA programs won’t get you the promotion or into the separate MBA pay scale. That being said, should point out a flaw in your thinking. it’s not the ‘MBA issue’ causing poor company performance. Promoting a bunch of people with undergrad degrees clearly wouldn’t turn the stock price around. Look at poor decisions made by Doug Parker and Robert Isom. Isom is a joke and should’ve been fired years ago. AA loosing Scott Kirby is the worst thing that happened to AA. Go track the stock price gap between AA and UA over the past 2.5 years and you’ll see.
