Exploring Generation Z Flightcrew - 13 March 2024, 1300 CWR
Ian Taggart, TUI leads the discussion on the needs and wants of Gen Z in aviation
Ian Taggart has been a commercial pilot for 16 years, spanning two airlines and five aircraft types. Ian is a multi-tasking pilot at TUI Airways, operating the Boeing 787 and as a Flight Safety Officer, and recently completed an MSc in Human Factors at Coventry University. Ian is passionate about the integration of Human Factors in the airline industry and the optimisation of high-performance teams.
Ian completed research for his MSc, which explored the social skills of Gen Z flight crew. Generation Z research is sparse, particularly in aviation, which provided an exciting and relevant opportunity to discover more about Gen Z flight crew, particularly as Gen Z has ever-increasing representation within our workforces.
The research was a qualitative study with participants from the Generation Z cohort and other generations. It explored social skills such as communication, leadership and teamwork with emergent themes of learning and authority gradient, along with how they interact and are perceived by flight crew from non-Gen Z cohorts.
It's hoped the research paves the way for a collaboration between research and subject matter experts within the airline industry. Equally, the opportunity exists to expand our understanding of Gen Z and future generations through research.
