My project is to survey problems and propose improvements at my new job as an employee (a dispatcher) at Flight Services and Systems (FSS) at Logan International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts. Since I am a new, entry-level employee at this job, my project will consist largely of observing problems, asking questions, and, at the end, writing up my recommendations for improvements at the job, for this course. I am trying to learn policies and observe actual operations at all levels that I have exposure to.
