Aviation and cabin-crew training, which the Gulf airlines recruit for constantly

A first step

Read the published recruitment requirements of the Gulf airlines and ask five people who applied from the island where they fell short. Then run a free mock assessment day for 10 candidates and offer a paid preparation course to those who want it. Paid bookings, and later hires, are the proof that preparation is what was missing.

Who pays first

A young person applying to a Gulf airline who has been rejected once and will pay to prepare properly for the next assessment.

What leaves today

Candidates apply without preparation and are turned down, so jobs the Gulf airlines recruit for constantly go to people from other countries.

The idea and the mechanism are from the book. The first step was written for this site as a suggestion; if you know a better one, say so.

The test

Does it keep value that now leaves the island, or build the proof that lets somebody else do so?

The only test any idea on this site has to pass. The four rules that go with it are here.
