Retention issues are important to people in all aspects of business and academia. The relationship of how many people start a project and how many actually complete it is an important one, regardless whether the project is an academic degree or a business venture. Aviation, partially due to the cost associated with training, has unique retention problems. The Aviation Institute at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNOAI) undertook a research project to study retention issues as they relate to the Institute's academic program and the field of aviation in general. This project had two primary goals: first, to identify the percentage of people who start but do not complete the program and second, to identify the cause for their failure to complete the program. The second goal is primarily a satisfaction analysis and was the focus of this research project. The survey and results should prove useful for other aviation programs in the United States as well as for international aviation programs. References, appendix, 12 p.
