Introduction

Price discrimination is a strategy usually followed by a monopolist or even oligopolist where different consumers are charged different prices. Price discrimination can take three major forms, first degree price discrimination, second degree price discrimination and third degree price discrimination. In this paper we demonstrate how third degree price discrimination is practiced by the Airlines. We begin with a brief description of third degree price discrimination in the next section. In section III we discuss the methodology and data source of our research. In section IV we present the outcome of our research. Section V concludes the study.

The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to be given to an artist “who created the most distinguished picture book of the year.” (www.ala.org) In 1992, the winner of that prestigious award was David Wiesner, the children’s author and illustrator of the book Tuesday. 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. ...

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. To clarify and assure ethic rules disciplinary codes exist for specific fields. These codes are required, because professionals often have to operate private data of their clients to apply their skills for making judgments and decisions unobtainable for the general public. One of the exemplary set of professional ethic rules is the Hippocratic Oath to which doctors have been adhered for about 23 centuries.

Professional aims, that engineers should do:

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has played a central role in space technologies and research. Over the years, NASA has taken lead in space exploration through technological development. However, this adventure has cost the agency millions of pound due to the expensive costs of equipment and energy needed to propel space shuttles into space. The agency uses millions of gallons of fuel to provide the energy for space transportation. NASA spends $10,000 to put a pound of payload in the orbit of the Earth (Katayama, 2002).

Economics

<Student> It is not a secret that traditional air carriers have always been balancing on the brink of profitability. Airlines often receive governmental support so as just to stay even, let alone any profit for shareholders. Nevertheless, certain entities not only manage to survive, but also prosper in the time of economic turmoil. Even large companies start learning from them and implement measures that used to be typical for low-costers only. However, there are certain things that large companies simply cannot do. There are several ways to cut expenses for an air company – reduce the amount of personnel, ...

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. Most often, the other factors that are inclusive in any successful flight, is omitted. 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 ...

According to the National Transportation Safety Board (2004) the Safety Board requested NASA-Langley to conduct a wake vortex investigation to determine the airplane performance study on whether American Airlines Flight 587 had encountered the wake Vortexes similar to Japan Air Lines flight 47. The investigation showed that the encounter will explain the two sets of load factor excursions, where the first occurred at 0915:35 where the aircraft reached the altitude of 1,750 feet, and the second occurred at 0915:51 where the aircraft reached the altitude of 2,430 feet based on the record of flight of 587 (National ...

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). Hence, it is important to appreciate the fact that human error is recently becoming a principal concern not only to flight operations but in the maintenance practices as well as air traffic control. 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 ...

Traveling to America for the first time for my studies will remain to be my greatest adventure. Just like any other international student would behave, I was equally too nervous to see this aspiration come true. I got scared immediately I landed in the United States about the culture, the country I had only read in textbooks during my junior years in school, about their prowess regarding technology, economic strengths, and the military superiority. This also marked the first time I made my first flight to a foreign nation. How were these people going to treat me? Will they ...

Introduction

Globalization and growing interdependencies between states all over the world have determined an ever growing demand for the development of commercial aviation. The global airline industry is currently characterized with rapid growth. Thus, the revenue, generated by the industry has more than doubled over the past decade (PwC Strategy&, 2015). Much of the above growth was driven by low-cost airlines that currently control more than a quarter of the world aviation market, and are continuously expanding, especially in emerging markets (PwC Strategy&, 2015). Important trends, characterizing the development of the modern aviation industry, are as follows. Firstly, carriers are ...

Fear is a relative term, at least from the human perspective. This suggests that humanity has experienced its own sets of fears, depending on the prevailing dangers of a particular physical environment and epoch. In this regard, it has always been common knowledge that survival is an integral part of every species, including the Homo sapiens, and that compromising the sense of safety of animals and humans is most likely to instigate a reaction of fear. As such, it can also be said that fear is a beneficial aspect of existence, given that it triggers reactions of alertness, fighting ...

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 terrorist bombing of a passenger terminal at Las Palmas Airport led to closure of the airport, and the diversion of considerable traffic to Los Rodeos (Tenerife) Airport with inadequate capacity (notably parking and staff). The congestion led to the routine back taxing, which put the two aircrafts on the runway. Other important causal factors include:

Poor visibility

The rapid deterioration of ...

One of the aftermaths of the September 2001 attacks on American soil were the lawsuits that followed (Spinner 2011). One of the litigation issues surrounding the attacks was that on the aviation players and particularly the flight operators. One of the lawsuits filed in a New York court claimed negligence and poor pre-board screening of the passengers by the screening personnel (Tomacik et al., 2013). There were key red flags on the terror-suspect screening that were taken for granted in consideration with the security system that had been put in place at the airport (The 9/11 report, 2004) and ( ...

Introduction

According to United Nations (2008), deregulation of the airlines in the recent years has resulted to free strategic choice making in terms of fares and network structures. Most airlines, including Hainan opted for the hub-and-spoke networks, which resulted to increased concentration of traffic on spoke routes and increased savings from the fewer routes. The advantage from the same was maximizing the traffic densities due to the use of large crafts along the routes. However. Graham (2013) outlines that the system adopted has resulted to congestion in airports and a high number of flights have been affected by delays, missed ...

Thus, the poem, is about human existence and how humans believe that they are the most important ingredient ...

Question1

An animal is a multi-cellular organism with cells that are not enclosed in a rigid cell wall. Animals differ from other organisms in two major aspects: 1) through the structure of their cell wall and (2) through their feeding habits. For example, unlike other organisms, such as plants, animals do not have a rigid cell wall. Plants on the other hand have a rigid cell wall. In terms of nutrition, animals are heterotrophs because of the way they synthesize organic compounds. Plants, on the other hand, are autotrophs. Plants are classified as autotrophs because they synthesize organic molecules directly using energy from ...
