Price discrimination is a strategy usually followed by a monopolist or even oligopolist where different consumers are charged different prices.

There can be three pricing models that can be applied to pricing for airline services.

The peak pricing model : A high price is charged at the peak time when the demand for the good or service is high and a moderate and low price is charged in the off peak hours .

Price Discrimination: Different prices are charged for different group of consumers .

Cross subsidization: One group of consumers pay a price higher than the cost of service another group pays a price lower than the cost of service. The first group is the subsidizing group and the other group is the subsidized group.

We choose one flight and discuss which pricing principle will be applicable for that flight.

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 ...

Science fiction, regardless of its medium, is often thought to be a means of projecting our ideas of the future – what it could be, what it might become, how it should be, and so on. This is often demonstrated in the utopian and dystopian genres of SF, in which future societies, either good or bad, are showcased in order to explore sociological and philosophical ideas about humanity and society. As Jameson notes, this kind of future projection and prediction can be complicated to express, as semiotics and symbolism grants us the ability to investigate those ideas in more abstract ...

Cause of Accident

The collision of two Boeing 747s i.e. KLM Flight 4805 (KLM) and Pan Am Flight 1736 (Pan Am) at Los Rodeos Airport in the 27th of March 1977, was a consequence of a series bad judgments and poor luck.

The congestion led to the routine back taxing, which put the two aircrafts on the runway. Other important causal factors include:

Poor visibility
