A: Unfortunately, over multiple decades of Airport-based experience, our leadership team has identified significant gaps—gaps in recruit preparation, gaps in initial and recurrent training, and major gaps in employee support. When combined, these gaps lead to an unsafe, unstable, and unhappy workforce and operation. These gaps didn’t arise from a lack of care but rather from a lack of time and resources available to address them. CAST was created to fix this. By bridging these gaps, we ensure a safer, more stable, and more supportive Airport work environment for both employees and employers alike.
