In this special on-location episode of Own the Jet, we visit the West Michigan Aviation Academy (WMAA) at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport. WMAA CEO Nicole Gasper and Dean George Pavey join us to discuss their unique public charter high school model that prepares students for the high-stakes demands of the aviation industry. George shares how his background as a Marine pilot informs their philosophy of treating students as young adults capable of real-world responsibilities.
They discuss the school’s high cultural expectations, emphasizing that if teenagers in the military can maintain complex aircraft, high school students are just as capable. This conversation explores the critical importance of building a professional talent pipeline to address the shortage of young aviators and engineers. Join us for an inspiring look at the next generation of aviation professionals.
