Overview of the Case Study

Over the years, the Singapore government had been operating on a two airline policy that had promoted efficient interaction between the government-owned Singapore airline, and its national competitor, Silvertail Airlines. For about 10 years, the duopoly worked so well until 1990 when other competitors joined the airline industry, following the airline deregulation policies adopted by the government. Consequently, the share price of Silvertail Airline Company started changing due to the friendly services such as low cost charges offered by its major competitors. This wind of change prompted a transformation in the company’s board of directors, which was replaced ...

The crash of Air France 447 is considered the biggest disaster ever to hit Air France and Airbus since the beginning of their venture into this industry. All of the 228 passengers and crew of the flight were killed in this accident (Palmer, 2013). Due to the delay in the recovery of the black box from the ocean bed, the investigations and final report, published by BEA, took nearly three years for completion (Jonathan, 2011). The final investigation revealed that the accident occurred due to the inconsistent data indicated by the FMC (Flight Management Computer System) regarding the fluid ...

Introduction

Maintaining ethical principles is essential to the success of any transportation unit. In fact, lack thereof compromises the stability of any nation due to the casualties likely to emerge from the accidents. Over the years, a lot of controversies about aviation ethics have surfaced due to safety concerns experienced in the flight departments. Precisely, meeting the demands of the Air Transportation Compliance while dealing with cargo and passengers in the airline has been challenging. According to the International Journal of Aviation Systems, Operations, and Training, ethics in aviation is an underlying philosophy that guides the flight personnel to do ...

Introduction

Cultural memories, as well as cultural identity, are two closely related phenomena that are part of every cultural setting in the world, are assimilated amongst generations in unique ways. Cultural memory entails the elements (Stowe, 1982); both physical and virtual those are passed down generations and are a way of giving historical meanings or origins of certain cultures. Literary publications, such as Uncle Tom’s Cabin, sought to change how cultural memory and cultural identity were perceived, regarding the African American culture. Therefore, cultural memories occur in different forms. For example, an individual from a given culture may have ...

Aircraft Cabin Safety

Accidents are complex systems that happen when multiple failures and factors accumulate and finally blow out of proportion. The failures and factors that accumulate are jointly sufficient to cause various types of accidents. Aircraft systems are complex systems that have the potential multi-causal conditions. The conditions rarely arise but when they do they create a possible trajectory for an accident. Most of the factors that cause these accidents are always present way before they are triggered and an accident occurs. Additionally, most of them are actually triggered by the organization of the system itself due to its design, the ...

In the summer of 1884, four English sailors, Thomas Dudley, Edward Stephens, Brooks and Richard Parker who was a cabin boy were cast away in a storm in the Atlantic Ocean and were forced to put into an open boat from which they were stranded.

Fortunately, on the fourth day they caught a turtle on which they fed till the twelfth day when it was entirely consumed. The depended on the sporadic rain for the supply of fresh water. ...

The cardiovascular and respiratory systems are largely responsible for the transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide through the body. Respiration consists of both inspiration and expiration. These actions are the methods by which essential oxygen is exchanged with harmful carbon dioxide. While oxygen is brought into the lungs during inhalation to be processed throughout the body, carbon dioxide is brought during exhalation to be removed from the system entirely. Once the oxygen has reached the lungs it is taken up by the bloodstream in order to be distributed to the various cells that require a constant exchange of nutrients ...

Abstract

Among the remarkable flight accidents, Saudia Flight 163 case holds a special place, both due to the death toll and due to the fact that it did not involve a crash at all. The disaster that took away lives of all passengers and crew members at the turn of 1980s was thoroughly investigated and recognized as the second deadliest aircraft accident (at that time) after Ermenonville air disaster involving Turkish Airlines flight 891 (Witkin, 1981). While the deadly incident happened after the safe emergency landing of the plane, the main reason of Flight 163 tragedy is human factor. The ...

ABSTRACT

Pilot uniforms, particularly in the commercial airline industry, conveys professionalism, competence, and experience. However, historically, uniforms started as a component of safety in aviation, which relied not just in their protective functions but as well in their capability to protect combat pilots from the natural elements of extreme heat and cold, particularly during the era of open cockpits. Protective flight clothing has evolved significantly through decades and even centuries. The sophisticated development in protected flight clothing, however, failed to influence adaption in the civil air transport industry. Using grounded theory through archival literature analysis, the Capstone Project revealed advantages ...

Aircraft control surfaces are components of an aircraft used to control an aircraft. Normally, the control surfaces are movable parts in the plane wings and the tail. The surfaces help the pilot adjust attitude or plane orientation by creating differential pressure on different parts of the aircraft. The difference is pressure produces a force which then acts on the plane to produce the desired effect. Control surfaces employ the principle of lift just like the wings but in different directions. The lift forces produced by a control surface can act independently or in combination with a force from another ...

Pilot Medical Privacy Laws and Germanwings Flight Crash

The crash of Germanwings flight 9525 en route from Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Spain to Dusseldorf Airport in Germany, which caused the death of 144 passengers and 6 crew members, is considered to be one of the grimmest aircraft crashes in European flight history. The sad reality of this event was that this mishap was caused by the deliberate attempts of a deranged co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, who was being treated for suicidal tendencies and was also declared “unfit for work” by his doctor. The initial investigations done by the BEA (French Land Transport Accident Investigation Bureau) revealed that the ...

World literature

One of the clearest and most significant associations with the world of Ireland is the poetry written by William Butler Yeats “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”. The poem Irish in origin by its form is the ordinary visualization of the peaceful life of the author which characterizes not writer`s feeling, but his life and carrier as well. The poem was written by William Butler Yeats in London when walking down the street he passed some shops with murmuring small waterfall in the shop windows to attract the buyers. He suddenly remembered the lake near Sligo, the place where ...

1. What is the potential impact of supersonic transports (SSTs) on the ozone layer? An alarming ozone loss has been reported in the past decades, and studies showed that this global problem is attributed largely to human activities. Advancement in technology resulted in the development of high-speed air transport that are economically competitive compared to other forms of aircrafts. There is, however, the associated risk that supersonic transports can impact in the destruction of the ozone layer due to the large amount of atmospheric pollution that it emits. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology carried a study on the possible ...

Literature is often touted as one of the best weapons that bring out a change in society. The novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin that was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe can perhaps help explain that because it is a piece of work that brought out the evils of the 19th century with regard to slavery and the unequal treatment of African Americans in the United States. The protagonist of the story, Uncle Tom, is sold from the Shelby farm to a slave trader and down the Mississippi River, he sails a way in a riverboat. During his days on ...

The Wright brothers were the first inventors who come up with an airplane design that incorporated a simple control system whereby a pilot could balance the craft in the air in the same manner a cyclist controls a bicycle on the road. At the beginning of the 20th century, the brothers started working on aircraft designs that were propelled by a gasoline engine (Wright Brothers Organization par 10). Design after design they worked on the configuration, propellers, engines and controls until they finally could fly a plane for over an hour. Their design became the first controllable airplane with ...

The story was an interesting read. However, it left me feeling pity for Leroy over his unreciprocated love. He appears helpless and desperate which made me empathize with his situation. Jean’s attitude towards Leroy is unappreciative. She does not feel for Leroy’s condition and in her push for him to get a job, she does not do it kindly, and appears to belittle him because of his lack of a job. Leroy on the other hand is loving towards his wife and would wish them to start life over again. He lives ongoing for his life to ...

Industrialization in America, 1876-1900

In the late 1800’s, the world witnessed an unprecedented migration of people from all over the world to America. This movement was occasioned by the search for jobs, escape from famines, escape from political and religious oppressions, increased taxes among other host of causes from the immigrant’s homelands as Gereffi and Wyman (1860-1876) documents. These massive immigration was due to the fact that America, at the time, was considered a land of opportunity. America at the time also witnessed a massive rural to urban migration. The pictures below illustrate this massive population explosion in America in the ...

When evaluating the play, “Shadows on Oak Island,” it tells the story of a married couple, Jackson and Rene Barlow, who have lost their son.

This play worked because of the storyline and some of the mystery behind it but there were sidebars that could have been elaborated on or even explored. To try to cope with the circumstance that the Barlows have lost their son, they have went ...

Moral Issues

The case raises the question of whether the companies’ policies on pregnancy and marriage amount to disparate treatment or intentional discrimination of some employees based on pregnancy, marriage, childbirth, and related medical/social impairments. Given that women in many societies bear the primary responsibility for child rearing, and are disproportionately more impaired by pregnancy, the requirement that they leave if they get pregnant may amount to sex-based discrimination. Ultimately, the policy may have a negative impact on the women’s labor force participation (even though this does not appear to be the case for these airlines). Lastly, the case raises ...

What moral issues does the case arise?

Qatar Airlines has been cited over the decades as one of the airlines with the strictest rules by International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) and has mentioned that the company is a disgrace to the aviation industry for failing to honor labor rights for its female employees. Some of the controversy issues concerning the airline include its prohibition that the female crew should not get married or pregnant during their first five years of marriage. Furthermore, it is the moral rights of human beings to decide when to marry or get married whatsoever, and an employer should not restrict an ...

The Airline Deregulation Act is a United States federal law which was enacted in 1978 to remove the control the government had over fare, the routes and entry of new airlines. This left the passenger airlines exposed to the forces of the market in the airline industry. The Civil Aeronautics Board which was responsible for controlling entry, exit, the pricing of the airline services and addressing the consumer issues was phased out. This meant that the passenger airlines were only limited to competing only for food, the quality of the cabin crew and the frequency available. This caused a ...

Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin through the Eyes of Popular Culture and Religion

[Introduction] Popular culture and religion have the same thing in common: symbols. Symbols are an inherited system of notions that express in representation forms a people’s “knowledge about and attitude towards life” (Geertz 89). Being symbols, their meanings are defined by people in accordance to their popular culture or religion. Consequently, these symbols can get shared between popular culture and religion; while their meanings change (enhanced or diminished) in accordance to the strength of cultural or religious influence upon them. Meanwhile, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin or Life among ...

Exams were finally over, and I had all kinds of thoughts about how I would spend my summer holiday. It was my final year of college and my last summer with my friends, most of whom we would have to part ways since I was a foreign student and planned to travel home after my last semester. My girlfriend, Bella, short for Anabel, had that look of expectation toward a great summer when she saw me. As I drove to my apartment after parting ways with my friends, she talked about all sorts of things including how we planned ...

The Southern and the Northern portions of the United States developed in different fashions. The North developed in the line of industrialization while the Southern section remained predominantly an agrarian economy. This means that there were different beliefs and cultures in the two sections. Disagreements were bound to happen. The disagreements were in the line of tariffs, taxes, federal rights as well as state rights. The civil war was inevitable.

After Eli Whitney had developed the invented the cotton gin, the Southern part developed in another different perspective from the northern part. There were a number of concerns that ...

Introduction

There is a very large difference in the price and operating economics of aircraft and this is only one aspect of several important factors that are absolutely vital for fleet planning. “Fleet commonality” and costs associated with it must be considered very carefully to obtain a better economic viewpoint of the way that cost effectiveness will impact the operations and eventual survival of the airline from an all encompassing point of view. Some carriers chose to have only a single type of aircraft for their airlines while others usually chose two or more types of aircraft to offer diversified services for ...

Throughout the history, there have been noteworthy literacy movements, many of which have been over and done. Two of the most important literacy movements throughout the time have been transcendentalism and romanticism.

Transcendentalism was a literacy form in the 19th century. Under this literacy form, many writers have contributed in its movement. Among the major pioneers in this literacy form include Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Bronson Alcott Theodore Parker. Based on the works of these great transcendentalists I will elucidate the differences that exist between Romanticism and Transcendentalism.

Romanticism draws outs strong feelings and demonstrates significant actions. It is about a ...

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow a successful American poet whose works carry a lot of sentimentalism. Sentimentalism is the act of stimulating tender emotional responses towards a given work of art that are not really due that work. Wadsworth successfully brings out this aspect especially in A Psalm of Life. “ tell me not in mournful numbers, life is but an empty dream (Longfellow n.p).” The two lines bring out a sense of hopelessness that there is no much meaning to life no matter how hard we attempt to live. Wadsworth was trying to show human beings the vagueness in life and the need ...

Harriet, the writer of the book “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” tries to bring out the evil in slavery in the society and tries to bring it out when the conditions were smoothest for the black man. In fact, the slavery was full of evils in the smoothest moments as per the black man’s view and it can only be imagined in the worst conditions that the black man underwent a nightmare. As Stowe depicts in her account, the slave holders were full of animosity as they would snatch the blacks at unsuspecting times and sell him or her for ...

Since the United States is arguably the most natural disaster prone area in the whole world, it occurred to me that working at the center for Preparedness and Recovery might be wise career choice for me. Besides, helping people in times of need has always been a calling of mine. This work was also very well suited for me since I grew up in a morally strong background. Everyone in my family was involved in one way, or another in giving back to the community. Therefore, this job is much as a duty for my country as much as it is my calling. ...
