Aviation Schools, Imitated but not Duplicated
LITTLETON, CO (April 18, 2003) – Colorado based Avjobs.com, Inc. wants to inform you that we are a privately owned business that created the original Aviation Schools (AVSchools) in January 2001. We launched Aviation Schools to promote educational facilities like yours and give guidance to future aviators.
Many school recruiters have notified us to voice their confusion between Avjobs Aviation Schools and AvSchools.com. Those of you that have contacted us have expressed your irritation with advertisements coming from AvSchools.com. We want you to know Avjobs.com and Aviation Schools are not associated in any way with AvSchools.com.
Avjobs.com has successfully built a reputation of excellent service and an outstanding product for our current and future customers. It is unfortunate that AvSchools.com finds it necessary to profit using our name, design, marketing material, and advertising copy. Please know that Jim Dent, owner of AvSchools.com does not work for Avjobs.com and does not represent Aviation Schools. As a valued customer we feel it is our responsibility to inform you of these poor business ethics that may have a negative affect your business.
According to customer complaints, AvSchools.com is listing paying and non-paying aviation educational institutions in their directory. As a non-paying company, they are soliciting business by sending email and faxed advertisements. Many of you have received emails asking you to “Add money to my balance”. If you have been receiving such messages from Jim Dent, Publisher of AVSchools.com you may choose to contact the companies below and ask that you be removed from any marketing lists.

Career Counselor - Entry-level Travel Jobs

Career Counselor
Entry-level Travel Jobs
SUSAN W. MILLER, M.A, Special to The Times
Question: I am interested in getting into an entry-level job in the travel and tourism industry. Do you have any ideas or suggestions for me.
— Linda
Response: You could consider becoming a reservations or ticket agent, also known as passenger service agents.
Reservation agents schedule and confirm reservations by telephone or computer and prepare tickets or contracts at the request of customers. They determine space availability and offer suggestions on travel arrangements including routes, time schedules, rates, and types of accommodation.
As car rental agents, they rent automobiles and talk with customer to determine type of automobile, location for pick up and return of automobile, and number of days needed for rental. Car rental agents quote costs, and explain rental policies and procedures.
Employment Outlook
While above average growth is projected through 2008 for reservation agents, the increased use of on-line ticketing, may result in fewer position openings.
Ticket and reservations agents are employed by transportation companies such as airlines, car rental companies, and/or cruise companies. Currently, many experienced agents are on layoff status, so outlook is poor for entry-level applicants.
Larger companies employ both ticket agents and reservations agents, while smaller companies may hire only ticket agents who perform both duties. Some ticket agent jobs are available only through promotion from reservation agents.
Reservation agents work in central offices at desks with telephones and computer terminals. Ticket agents may work at check-in counters.
Salary Range
In Los Angeles entry level reservations and ticket agents earn from $22,000 to $30,000 per year and part time hourly positions are available at a pay rate of from $8.25 to 9.75 per hour, depending on the airline. [see current salary, wages & pay for this position]
Training Options & Costs
A high school diploma, GED, or an equivalent is usually required for entry level positions but completion of related coursework may enhance one's employability. Several local community colleges offer classes and training for reservations and ticket agents.
Courses include:
• Fares and Ticketing, which identifies airline and airport codes, and how to determine airfares and taxes;
• Internet Travel Research, which provides on instruction on how to navigate and access information from key travel industry web sites.
The colleges also provide various levels of instruction on Apollo and Sabre computer systems, the most widely used by airlines for processing reservations. The cost per course is generally $33.
