officers (CEOs) inthe top 100 airlines globally [4]. This phenomenon has its own inherent implications but is of particular concern duringtimes of rapid growth in the aviation industry. In their 2023 report, Boeing projected that overthe next 20 years, 649,000 new pilots, 690,000 new maintenance technicians, and 938,000 newcabin crew members will be needed to meet global demand [13]. Recent industry developmentsinclude new airlines being announced in emerging economies and a proliferation of companiespursuing urban air mobility, among other initiatives. Talent acquisition and management isessential to support these enterprises. In their 2018 reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Congressmandated an advisory

approach, coveringmaterial from multiple courses, facilitates a comprehensive measure of learning progression,encouraging deeper understanding (den Boer et al., 2021).Cumulative assessments ensure minimal competency, identify knowledge gaps, and fosteraccountability for cumulative knowledge and skills (Vyas et al., 2015). These assessmentsplay a crucial role in shaping comprehensive learning outcomes and aiding educators inrefining instructional strategies (Muniasamy et al., 2015). Various forms of cumulativeassessments, such as exams or projects, prompt students to integrate knowledge, enhancingcritical thinking and problem-solving skills. Educators benefit by gaining insights into theeffectiveness of teaching strategies and curriculum design
