Going public when the airline industry are still suffering from 9.11 attack is adventurous, especially it is even harder when the competition of the airline industry is severe, given the fact that 87 new-airline failure over the past 20 years. However, JetBlue has good management team with strong capability, and it has considerable competitive advantage compared to comparable companies, hence there are more opportunities and strengths than threats and weaknesses. JetBlue’s executive management team have rich experience in the airline industry. CEO David Neeleman has extensive experience with airline start-ups and worked in various low-fare flights. COO David Barger and CFO John Owen had worked in airline companies before joining JetBlue.
The attacks on New York City’s World Trade Center and Hurricane Katrina were major events the effected the United States. The American Red Cross came under heavy scrutinizing due to how they handled these events. Determine and discuss the ways in which ARC’s corporate governance failed to provide formalized responsibility to their stakeholders. Corporate governance is formal system of accountability, oversight, and control companies put in place to remove the opportunity for employees to make unethical decisions (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2011, p. 42). Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell go further and give the following definitions for each aspect of this system: Accountability refers to how closely workplace decisions are aligned with a firm’s stated strategic direction and its compliance

Rob Stich’s ‘The Castle’ is satire about a family’s fight to keep their home after the global force, Airlink, threatens to expand its runways, on the Kerrigan’s land, to increase their market share. The film portrays the imbalanced conflict between an Aussie battler and powerful multinational interests. Comparatively, Dave Carroll’s ‘United Breaks Guitars’ is a YouTube clip is about a band whose leader singer’s $3500 Taylor guitar was broken by the baggage handlers at United, the world’s largest airline. A parallel can be drawn with ‘The Castle’, because the clip encapsulates the inequality between consumers and powerful capitalists. In both texts, the protagonists highlight to the responder the need to stand up to bullies, who assume power in the global village.
BAE – Denver International Airport Project Analysis Evaluate the implementation of the Denver International Airport Baggage-Handling System. What do you believe were the top 3 factors that contributed to the project's failure? Who do you feel is most at fault (Peña, Webb, DiFonso, others)? Identify "top 3" and the person most at fault. The three top factors that led to the demise of the DIA project in my opinion are – (i) strategic decisions changes, (ii) Local City rules to attract local talents – that resulted in over 400 independent contractors that were not properly supervised, and (iii) unrealistic project completion timeline that should have been revised to allow for a more robust planning due to the scope and magnitude of the project.
What are the forces driving competition in the airline industry? Using this approach to industry analysis discussed in this chapter, evaluate each of the six forces in the task environment to ascertain what drives the level of competitive intensity in this industry. Threat of New Entrants – Low Larger, and more established airlines can achieve economies of scale since they can spread costs among a larger fleet of airplanes and more routes. Smaller firms and new entrants will have to make do with specific routes; otherwise, they can run into logistical problems if they take on a wide variety of routes while they are still starting up. Most airline customers travel for vacation or holiday, and plane fares are a more important criterion rather than product/service differentiation between the airlines.
This example can show us to how expensive to design and manufacture an aircraft. Therefore, all different types of aircrafts have different design process depend on their purposes. First step of design process is conceptual design. ”We typically design hundreds of aircraft concepts at the "conceptual" level for every one that ever actually flies.” says Raymer, D. It is a good example to understand how conceptual design is important. The design process starts with the aircraft's predetermined purpose.

The aim of this essay is to discuss passenger rights under EU regulations and critically discuss expansion of common rules defined in EU regulation EC 261/2004. Development of Air transport regulations Aviation laws and regulations have been developed along with aviation technological and business development. Introduction of Junkers F13 as the first transport aircraft with capacity of 4 passengers just after the First World War marked the new era in the aviation. International air transport was born and pretty soon it became obvious that legal aspects pertinent to carriage of air passengers should be regulated. Due to poor technological development at that time, air transport was risky and dangerous business associated with many mishaps, accidents and casualties.
