Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the position of ground school manager qualifies as a specialty occupation. Citing the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, the AAO found that a bachelor's degree is not a normal minimum requirement for pilots or flight instructors. The petitioner did not prove that the position was uniquely complex or that a degree was a common industry requirement.
