Hello, my name is Alex…. | Econproph [Comp. Systems 2017]

Hello, my name is Alex. I am currently enrolled in the LCC Aviation Maintenance program seeking 2 associates degrees to have in my hand at the end of the two years, it’s a demanding program that also goes year round. I’m a very busy student as we go to class 5 days a week and an average of 30 hours. I plan to transfer to complete my bachelors degree immediately after this program and earning My Air-frame and Power-plant license. I do not know what to expect this semester seeing this will be my first online class!
I am interested in learning about the supply and demand side of economics. For example, the demand being higher than the resources can provide.(Scarcity) I’m also interested in unemployment and trade. I’m looking forward to going deeply into a certain area (hopefully aviation). Because I would love to see the economics side of the industry that I plan to work in. However i’m interested in what everyone else wants to go over this semester!
Good luck to everyone this semester!
Alex

Aviation could be interesting to look at economically. In the big airframe biz, of course, there’s really only 2 companies worldwide (AirBus & Boeing) and only a few other smaller ones. That’s a global oligopoly with a lot of export biz, regulation, trade rules, AND employment at stake in the mfg companies. On the user end – the people who operate and fly – there’s even more regulation. On top of which the economics of the airline biz are really kind of odd.
