For operations/planning roles at American Airlines, I’d focus on courses that build strength in operations, analytics, and decision-making. Courses in Operations Management, Supply Chain, Business Analytics, Data Analytics, Forecasting, Optimization, and Project Management would all be useful.
If your program offers airline, transportation, or revenue management electives, those could help as well. Beyond coursework, having some hands-on experience with Excel, SQL, Tableau/Power BI, and basic Python can strengthen your profile for planning-oriented roles.
I’d also suggest checking LinkedIn for Jindal alumni currently at American Airlines and looking at the backgrounds of people in roles like Operations Planning, Network Planning, Strategy, or Revenue Management. That can give you a much clearer idea of what courses and experiences AA tends to value.

Has anyone graduated from Jindal and gone to work at American Airlines? I'd like to work there as I'm from the DFW area and have been on the AA campus.
What courses should I take that would give me a better CV for an operations/planning job?
