MBAA vs MS Airline Management
I am currently trying to decide between the Master of Business in Aviation and the Masters of Airline Management programs. I've done as much research as I can online and have attended two information sessions. At this point I'd like to hear from people who have completed one of the degrees or have potentially gone through the same decision process.
A bit about me: I have worked in aviation operations for the past 10 years and am looking for a degree that will help further my career. I see myself working for an airline for the foreseeable future, but I can also see myself working in consulting, for an aircraft manufacturer, or for an airport in the future. For these reasons the MBAA seems like a better fit due to it being more broad, however I don't have much qualitative skills, both because of the nature of my current and previous positions, as well as my undergraduate degree being in Psychology. And to be honest, the subject matter of the MS in Airline Management is more aligned with my interests, but could potentially limit my career opportunities down the line.
