Managing a Growing Business at Babson College — What It Teaches About Airline Pricing

I was also entrepreneurial studies major at Babson College taking EPS3520 (Managing a Growing Business) which became a full page Wall Street Journal article. I was running back and forth between the Babson College campus and the boardroom back in Western New York, managing to still crank out first class owner and hidden city airline tickets in the process. EPS 3520 wasn’t just about growing a business—it was about managing imbalance. Airlines face the same problem every day: fixed capacity and unpredictable demand. That’s why pricing looks irrational—and why hidden city ticketing isn’t a loophole, but a byproduct of how the system corrects itself This paved the way for GATE 2.0 . But first, I needed to resurrect GATE 1.0.
