Abstract
In this review of Mary S. Lovell's book, "The Sound of Wings", the writer suggests that Lovell is not so much interested in Amelia Earhart's aviation career and accomplishments, but rather in the developing cult of personality in America of the 1920s. The reviewer describes Lovell's treatment of Earhart's relationship with her husband, George Palmer Putman, and his impact on her career. Furthermore, the writer suggests that by concentrating on Earhart's relationship with her husband and his attempts to promote her for commercial reasons, and by not examining her contributions to the development of aviation, Lovell denigrates Earhart's legacy.
From the Paper
"Lovell's work chronicles the evolving implications of Amelia Earhart's husband George Palmer Putnam on her career. Putnam emerges in the text as a pure showman, eventually divorcing his first wife, heir to the Crayola empire, to pursue a more lucrative career exploiting Earhart's supposed technical prowess at an aircraft's controls. In fact, Lovell suggests that even before Earhart became an aviatrix, Lovell had already begun to pen the supposed autobiography of Amelia's first flight, which would propel her to world fame. After gaining fame as a pioneer of women's liberation, Earhart was called to speak to countless audiences, and became a tireless endorser of everything from cigarettes to clothes."

From the Paper
"The Boeing Company is the largest aeroplane producer in the world and it is one of the five major aerospace firms that have influenced the course of the US and global history. Its existence is due to visionary William Edward Boeing who founded the Pacific Aero Products Company in 1916. In 1917, the company was called the Boeing Airplane Company. With each year, more airplanes were being produced and the company continued to grow. Extremely needed during the war, when this was over, Boeing was forced to change the nature of their activity. They generally focused on improving their techniques and they went back in business when the US president changed. Since then, Boeing has been focused on mergers, acquisitions, product development, and the satisfaction of a wide array of customers."

"The French company states that they first came to being in order to challenge the Americans' supremacy on the international aircraft market. The company was formed in 1970 as the result of a consortium between France's Aerospatiale and Dutch Airbus. The company then merged with Spain's CASA and British Aerospace. In 2001, all four components unified under a single company, based in Toulouse, France (headquarters were set in 1974). In 2004, the aircraft company managed to overthrow their main competitor, American Boeing, by registering more sales and securing more orders. Today, they are the sole possessor of the largest airplane on the globe, the Airbus A380, which can transport up to 800 travellers at one flight."

Overview of Aviation Industry in the United States Today
Major Organizations
From the Paper
"Like many industries, the aviation industry was rocked by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and with the rare exception of a few airlines such as Southwest, many carriers continue to struggle to survive today. Moreover, the same forces that are driving globalization are having a pronounced impact on domestic airport administrators as they attempt to manage their facilities while balancing the needs of increased security and demands for improved customer service. In this environment, identifying best practices represents a timely endeavor for those who would seek to better understand what works and what does not, which was the purpose of the instant study."

Abstract
This paper discusses the airline sector, an industry sector which mirrors the increased emphasis on both employees as well as customers that is one of the biggest changes in conducting business today. The writer explains that air miles emerged as a promotion strategy aimed to attract more customers. However, they have evolved to the point of significantly influencing the airline industry and customer satisfaction at unforeseen levels, and their role has grown as they lead to increased customer demands and increased competition between airline companies. The writer concludes that sky miles now represent a selection criterion when choosing an airline company, and consequently force companies to continually develop, and thereby improve, the overall image of the airline industry.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Sky miles are travel services offered by airline companies as a reward for previous purchase of the company's products or services. They are generally earned through payments with credit cards and they can be used for flights, car rentals, hotel rooms' rentals or for shopping from airport stores or other partners' stores. Air miles are easy to use, have numerous applications and can even be sold, donated or transferred. The costs of purchasing sky miles are generally reduced, but these vary with each issuer. The costs include the amount of dollars clients have to pay in order to earn a mile and the annual fees demanded by some issuers."

Abstract
Introduction
Risk Management in Commercial Aviation
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Safety is of paramount importance in aviation, especially commercial aviation. Technical malfunction, equipment failure, and human error in complex technological fields can result in catastrophic failure. In commercial aviation, the implications of catastrophic failure are exceptionally devastating, because they almost always entail great risk to human life and limb. The nature of aviation equipment, facilities, and infrastructure virtually guarantee that even failure that does not necessarily result in harm to human life still harbors the potential for disastrous financial losses."

Factors influencing Boeings' Strategic and Contingency Planning Functions
From the Paper
"Foremost for Boeing, the issue of sexual harassment prevention is critical for their legal, ethical and social responsibility. Atkins (2006) discusses the $650M fine that Boeing had to pay the Justice Department for the attempted cover -up of their CEO's affair with an associate. Boeing's CEO Harry Stonecipher had ironically just begun working on a comprehensive ethics management program for all Boeing employees and certification process where each Boeing employee would sign a code of conduct. By far, this lapse in ethical judgment by CEO Harry Stonecipher proved to be one of the greatest distractions inside Boeing as well, as literally hundreds of millions of dollars of productivity were lost as employees, buyers, suppliers and customers. Sexual harassment is the most important factor affecting the legal, ethical and social responsibility of the company today."

Abstract
The paper reviews the literature to determine what ongoing initiatives are taking place to help launch ordinary people into space today and in the future. The paper explores how these initiatives are being marketed according to the four 'Ps' of marketing; price, product, promotion and place. The paper concludes that the day when people of ordinary means will be able to afford a trip into space is not too far away. The paper also notes that although the price remains prohibitively high for most people, one can assume that like other technologies, the price will continue to drop as innovations are identified and competition increases.

Review and Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The first private astronaut, Dennis Tito, had to pay the Russians $20 million for his brief visit to their space station just a few years ago, but by his accounts, the hefty price tag was well worth it. Likewise, the first private spaceship has already traveled into the lower limits of outer space to international acclaim and enthusiasm from private citizens who are now wondering if they too may have a chance to travel into space. It is little wonder then that there has been an increased amount of attention paid to recreational space travel as a natural extension of the various governmental and military-related space programs in place around the world today."

Profiling Passengers, 2008.
This paper discusses the profiling of flight passengers for security reasons.
2,328 words (approx. 9.3 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that as a matter of policy or recommendation, airline passenger profiling may be continued but it should be closely monitored to prevent abuse. The writer discusses that the government should and must include the civil liberties group in the vetting process and every lesson learned from both negative and positive incidents brought about by airline passenger profiling studied and the good ones should be adopted while the bad ones left out. The writer notes that history shows the various actions by the government that curtailed civil liberties but this was the result of extenuating circumstances. The writer concludes that with terrorism amidst the United States at present, people must band together to help the government in stopping terrorists, even at the price of giving up a bit of freedom. But in giving up freedom, it should always be clear to the government that the action is a means of warding off "a clear and present danger" and once the danger has passed, the rights of those who gave something important must be restored.
From the Paper
"Profiling of any type whether racial, criminal, psychological, etc. is based on preconceived notions, data or information. In the long run, it may be construed to be based on stereotypes, biases or prejudices that do more harm than good. In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, the airline industry realized the importance of having a system that could vet or analyze passengers checking in at U.S. airports. Several studies or recommendations have been made after 9/11 and airline passenger profiling became a contentious issue not only between the government and citizens but various human rights groups as well. Despite all the clamor on the pros and cons of airline passenger profiling, the United States government still had to implement a measure to prevent and/or detect in advance passengers that pose threats to airlines much like those who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks.

Airplane Industry Ethics, 2008.
This paper focuses on the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)'s conflicts of interest in investigating airplane crashes.
2,371 words (approx. 9.5 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 72.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper reveals that many families of the victims of airplane crashes believe the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to be incapable of adequately monitoring the airline industries. The paper explains that these families charge that the NTSB is biased since it has too close a relationship with the airlines, which causes an inevitable conflict of interest. The paper points out the reliance on the airlines' integrity to hand over evidence from plane crashes and uses the crash of United Airlines Flight 585 in 1991 as a case in point. The paper discusses the need for a fair investigation and proposes using independent experts during crash investigations to achieve these unbiased findings.
From the Paper
"A plane crash, "whether a large commercial airliner or a tiny home-built ultra light sets into motion a flurry of events" and always inevitably cumulates with a National Transportation Safety Board investigation (Hise 1991:1). "The men and women of the NTSB have a rare breed of government job," in that they are nonpartisan, non-official law enforcement authorities given the investigational power to find the cause, "often beginning with little more than a handful of crushed aluminum, of almost every aviation crash they investigate" and issue a report on airplane crashes (Hise 1999:1). These men and women are supposed to be noble fact-finders, neither interested in the airline industry's financial future, the bottom line of corporate America, or even the feelings of the families and the victims of the crash."

Abstract
The paper discusses the fact that optimizing performance in all fronts is of utmost concern for businesses today which are operating under intense competition. The paper states that the airline industry in particular, is witnessing a bad phase with many big airlines going bankrupt. Cost cutting and performance tuning measures are indispensable to aviation industry for survival. The paper discusses the case of Cessna, a leading aircraft company, which is a good example of how rationalizing supply chain management can result in considerable performance improvements and the profitability of the company.
Outline;
Abstract
Introduction
Conclusion
From the Paper
" The center point of Cessna's new initiatives aimed at rationalizing the Supplier chain management system, is the MPD process. The Maturity Path Development Process (MPD) is a process where Cessna officials sit together with their Suppliers on a regular basis and review the expectations and the quality and performance status met by them. Plans are drawn to highlight areas that need improvement and suppliers are expected to fulfill these requirements. In short, every month the suppliers are given a status briefing that explains how they fair with respect to the Baldrige benchmarks and the goals they have to meet in the short and long run. Within one year, it is expected that suppliers reach the 'growth supplier status' or be phased out."

The Airline Industry, 2008.
Looks at human resource management in the volatile airline industry.
1,080 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, because the airline's needs are in a constant state of flux, the first step the human resources manager must take is to establish a system that allows for a regular evaluation of the ever-changing needs of the industry. The paper then points out that job security is a regular concern of airline employees at any level. Additionally, the paper relates that the three main issues that an airline industry human resources manager faces is the increase in the amount of outsourced jobs, recruiting personnel who are qualified to handle the increased level of technology involved in this industry and handling employee disgruntlements and possible strikes or other union-based actions.
From the Paper
"This idea of outsourcing is not unique to the airline industry and often times do not necessarily mean outsourcing to a computer program. Many of the airline industry's traditional jobs are now being outsourced to private companies. For example, such services as food services, maintenance and even ticketing are being outsourced to private companies that specialize in these services by contractual agreement. This trend clearly effects the airline human resources manager's role in that instead of working to recruit, train and supervise multiple departments internally."

Abstract
The paper discusses the background and activities of AirTran Airways, one of the largest and most successful low-fare airlines in the United States. AirTran Airways has received several awards and recognitions for its performance and service. The paper states that the success experienced by AirTran airways is a direct result of its effective marketing strategies which addresses the target market through the marketing mix of "four P's": product, price, place and promotion. The paper elaborates on these parameters that have enabled the airline to achieve its success.
From the Paper
"In general, AirTran Airways at its start-up attracted customers through the advertisement of low air fares, and expansion strategy that was aggressive, and a promotion that allowed customers between the ages of 18 and 22 years old to purchase flights very cheaply by flying stand-by (Barrett, 2006). Successful promotional strategies resulted in AirTran Airways being one of only a few airlines that recorded profit after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (Barrett, 2006). Furthermore, AirTran Airways has reported steady increases in its annual revenue over the past years since its inception."

Human Resource Challenges in the Airline Industry, 2008.
A look at the challenges facing divisions of human resource management within the airline industry and some possible solutions to these challenges.
1,255 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses five of the challenges faced by human resource management in the airline industry. The paper relates that these challenges include the need to ensure cost effectiveness, recruit and retain qualified employees, maintain employee satisfaction, and maintain union relations. The paper discusses each of these challenges and investigates them in relation to certain issues within the airline industry.
From the Paper
"Another key issue faced by the airline industry is the use of contingent workforces. This is an issue that is not unique to the airline industry, but instead is on the forefront of all service industries. Contingent employees include "independent contractors, leased employees, freelancers, temporary workers and seasonal employees (Pratt, 2002)", which are willing to work in positions within the airline industry for monetary compensation only, without any benefits. The utilization of the contingent workforce may especially be desirable to the low cost/ no frills airlines since it generally results in the maintenance of a flexible staff while still acquiring the personnel and expertise required (Pratt, 2002). The human resource challenges most involved in this issue are the recruitment and retention of qualified employees. The fact that contingent employees do not receive benefits beyond monetary compensation may make these positions less desirable than positions where these individuals perform the same job for the same pay, but also receive benefits."

Statistical Summary of Commercial Jet Aircraft Accidents
From the Paper
"Understanding the mean time between failure (MTBF) and the rate of failure of equipment in aircrafts in-depth can also be better modeled if history of the aircraft is known. Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) places great emphasis on analysis of historical data for identifying the schedule and planning the maintenance programs for any industry. As any computerized system offers the quickest and the most efficient manner of analyzing large quantities of data in the shortest possible time, any investment in the setting up of an on-line maintenance program monitoring system would prove to be beneficial for an aircraft operator. In addition, the connectivity that it provides would also help all other relevant interested parties in the process also monitor the aircraft as needed by law. The ability to replicate the functionality and simulate the actual operations and the subsequent maintenance requirements can also help decision makers identify problems and errors in the planning process."

Airline Strategy Analysis, 2008.
This paper discusses hub-and-spoke business models within the airline business.
991 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 11 sources, APA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that there are two different major classifications of airlines, legacy carriers such as Delta Airlines, American Airlines and United with hub-and-spoke systems and newer low-cost airlines such as Southwest, JetBlue, and AirTran with point-to-point models. The writer notes that armed with lower airfares, low-cost carriers have already captured around 20% of the market and are rapidly gaining an even greater market share. The writer explains that most legacy airlines have at least one central airport that their flights have to go through and from that hub, the spoke flights take passengers to select destinations. This hub-and-spoke system is in sharp contrast with point-to-point models that fly directly between two small markets. The writer discusses that in the past, hubs enabled legacy airlines to provide frequent service to many cities with short layovers, but now many travelers are no longer willing to pay high ticket prices.
From the Paper
"Because Delta has an expensive hub-and-spoke business models, weak financial performance, anemic consumer demand and higher energy costs, it doesn't make sense for it to try to compete solely on price. Instead, Delta needs to explore price discrimination to find those customers that are willing to pay more for airline services. Given weak demand, increased competition and a flat or marginally improving economy, one-to-one marketing practices are needed to find new customers and to justify their higher prices.
"On the Internet, airlines have access to personal data entered by the consumer (name, address, gender, email, phone, credit card numbers, travel preferences) surfing patterns and purchase history. This type of information provides unparalleled opportunities for price discrimination. Not only can Delta rely on supply-and-demand factors to formulate different prices for the same service, it can now use their wealth of customer data to charge consumer's maximum prices."

"Certainly this will cause restructuring in terms of Human Resources in job function and description relating to the role of those responsible for assuring such disinfection of airline carriers. This has however, been addressed by certain airlines under review in this study in that flexibility in job role has been adapted by several airlines. This need for job role flexibility is further noted in the work of Guillet, et al (1999) in the work entitled: "Origin and Prevention of Airport Malaria in France" published in the Tropical Medical International Health Journal (1999)."

"The loss of luggage is one of the most common issues that an airline could face. Usually luggage is handled by external companies and not the airline's personnel. However, it falls into the airline's responsibility to insure the luggage's safe transportation to the destination. The airline has to be prepared for cases in which an entire batch of luggage is lost or delayed and deal with potential legal claims. Thus, many airlines limit their liability in the legal statement required to purchase the plane ticket. The customer has to agree not to exceed a certain value for the personal items left in the luggage, as above the threshold there will be no compensation. However, the airline has to pay a certain amount of money to the passengers enough to cover their necessaries for at least the next 48 hours and that amount has to be established beforehand. The airline has to warn the passengers no to let in their luggage items that are vital to them, so that a potential loss would not harm their health."
