Right, because the airline industry is going to disappear. Or because airlines are making so much money that yield management is becoming less important. Anyone who is good at any sort of DSS has a bright future. Airline yield management is a great way to get experience in the field.

As to the original question - graduating seniors aren't expected to know much. You're being hired for your potential, your ambition, and your ability to learn, not what you already know. The fact that you're looking for information is a great sign. Of course, the job would probably mean the end of your FT posting career. I suspect airlines don't like their yield management people talking with mileage maximizing people.

Good luck!
