Question:
Read the following description of an airline reservation clerk's duties:
Customers contact our airline reservation clerks to obtain flight schedules, prices, and itineraries. The reservation clerks look up the requested information on our airline's online flight schedule systems, which are updated continuously. The reservation clerk must deal courteously and expeditiously with the customer, and be able to find quickly alternative flight arrangements in order to provide the customer with the itinerary that fits his or her needs. Alternative flights and prices must be found quickly so that the customer is not kept waiting, and so that our reservations operations group maintains its efficiency standards. It is often necessary to look under various routings, since there may be a dozen or more alternative routes between the customer's starting point and destination.
You may assume that we just hired 30 new clerks and that you must create a 3-day training program.
How to Set Up the Exercise/Instructions: Divide the class into teams of five or six students.
Airline reservation clerks obviously need numerous skills to perform their jobs. JetBlue Airlines has asked you to develop quickly the outline of a training program for its new reservation clerks. You may want to start by listing the job's main duties and by reviewing any work you may have done. In any case, produce the requested outline, making sure to be very specific about what you want to teach the new clerks, and what methods and aids you suggest using to train them.
