Known for books with little or few words, Tuesday stays true to this artist’s format. The book opens with the words, “TUESDAY EVENING, AROUND EIGHT”. It is easy to see why it became such a favorite. Simply it is the story of frogs unexpectedly taking flight from their pond, on lily pads. Through pictures ...

Introduction: According to Thaden and Alyssa (2008), “human error is the main cause of flight accidents in complex systems. Therefore since errors are inevitable in the commercial airline industry, it is doubtful to assure safety on the air.” On the other hand, Mangla and Haress (2011) claim that - “air travel is the safest mode in the history of aviation.” Whose statement is reliable between them? In aviation, it is true that human error leads to accidents in the sky, but it is also true that for every accident that happens on the air, the airline company reviews their ...

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.

The Monday Morning Flight from Chicago to New York: This is a case where the peak pricing principle can be applied. ...

Corporate Social Responsibilities and Ethics

The concept of (CSRs) means that companies, organizations and/or societies have both societal and ethical responsibilities stretching beyond their existing economic responsibilities (Tuan, 2012).

Professional ethics is an inseparable part of every profession. According to the definition, professional ethics encompass the personal, organizational and corporate standards of behavior expected of professionals.

Abstract

Salvador Dali can be considered the iconic painter of the surrealist movement. He was cheeky, provocative, ironic, and disrespectful in his attitude to all he came in contact with. He took the foundations of surrealism to their extreme. Dali raised surrealism to a higher artistic level by depicting emotions and thoughts ranging from realism to delirium. His unusual creativity is evocative because of its mysteriousness and uncertainty. This paper attempts to discover a little more about this Spanish artist and takes a look at one of his most famous paintings.

Abstract The successful flight of an aircraft is often attributed to the finesse of its pilots as well as the dispatcher. It is a common practice in air crash investigations to put the blame of such a mishap on the shoulders of its pilots and the air traffic control unit.

This paper tries to analyze these causes from the perspective of National Transport Safety Board, to generate an independent view about the crash of UPS Flight 1354. After thorough inspection of NTSB reports three main ...

Introduction

Almost all of the commercial airplane accidents that have been reported in the past are caused by human error which accounts for approximately 70% of the accidents (Griffin et al., 2015).

The above concern has made the major airlines to employ human factor professionals who work closely with the engineers and pilots to embrace innovation on human performance as well as the airplanes to help enhance ...

Mysticism is the feeling of spirituality and a god-like presence in your life. It apparently happens when people least expect to have an encounter with the spirits as they are still living and many only have these feeling at death. This is the thought that many would like to think of to dismiss the notion that ordinary people can have mystical experiences. The notion that only a select few people can have mystical experiences comes in part from the Catholic Church's belief that the saints or a few very select nuns and priest achieve the state of mysticism and ...
