If I were apart of the JetBlue team I would have build systems that were prepared for disasters like this. Having a system that could accommodate high call volumes is very important for any business. It was because JetBlue didn’t use technology to their advantage in the first place that these problems occurred. If they would have set up application for tracking luggage before the company started, they wouldn’t have taken 3 day to short out bags. Being prepared for the worst is always an advantage for any company.
You can search for the shortest route by distance. You can search for a route that uses certain highways or passes certain points of interest. Many modern personal navigation devices are able to even adjust your route for traffic conditions, weather conditions, etc… None of that is possible with a paper map. Garmin and Tom Tom were early leaders in providing this technology to the public. Since that time other well known companies such as Motorola, Samsung, and Nokia have begun marketing their own personal navigation devices.
I believe that this is a powerful statement, because there have been countless times that I have logged onto my Facebook and they have had popups telling me to share my phone number and all of my personal information and in my opinion when you log onto your networking site you don’t want to share all of your personal information. Although Facebook realized that they are not doing their part with privacy issues and released a ‘Groups’ section so that people could communicate and talk through
To make matters worse, the driver had no idea where your hotel was located so we were driven via a considerably longer route to your establishment. On arrival your two bellhops were stationed at their desk, but seemed to be more preoccupied with what I believe to be ‘internet surfing’ than helping us with our bags. They were slouched over the desk engrossed in whatever they were viewing on the computer screen. We consequently shifted our luggage in from the taxi ourselves. The service in your reception area wasn’t much better!
No matter how careful a driver you may be, when you do something else while driving, whether its drinking coffee, listening to music, scanning the GPS, or making a phone call, you endanger the people around you, and including yourself, because you are distracted from your driving. An accident needs only a couple microseconds to occur. Even though no state can ban people for changing radio stations or applying makeup while driving, all states can, and should, make it illegal to drive while talking on a cellular phone. Since the rise of popularity of cellphones in the past years, the number of accidents caused by people talking on their mobile devices has also increased. Whether they were in an argument, receiving a message, or simply dialing a number, they were momentarily distracted from the task of driving.
Airports were not security-free but at the same time they did not feel like entrances to maximum security prisons. Just to put things in the right perspective, in the United States, before 2001, there was no dedicated organization or government agency that looked after and managed security for air travel. I found this hard to believe as I had never realized that airport security was a relatively low-priority issue. It was not until September 11, 2001, that the Transportation Security Administration was created. This change brought TSA officers, highly advanced metal detecting equipment, sniffer dogs and sometimes
Jet Blue Case Study 1 Running Head: Jet Blue Case Study Jet Blue Case Study Sherri Ashby The George Washington University Dr. David Hays HOL 283 November 20, 2007 Jet Blue Case Study 2 Jet Blue Case Study In February of 1999, David Neeleman announces plans to start his new airline service which would “combine common sense with innovation and technology (Gittell/O’Reilly). Mr. Neeleman believed that combining innovation with technology he would be able to create an airline that would forces on giving passengers a positive travel experience with great service. To accomplish this he would have to focus on many things. The first thing that Mr. Neeleman had to do was to put together a team that would share is vision. In order to do that he must establish himself as a visionary.
Many accidents occur due to cell phone use because the majority of people are not able to do it safely (2009). It is common for people to not be focused on the road or other drivers if having a conversation while driving. Just as when impaired, the use of a cell phone while driving can slow down your response and reflex time. Most people are over confident about their capabilities of driving while using a cell phone, just as those that think they are okay to drive while they are impaired. Some states have banned the use of use of cellphone use unless used with a hands free device and some states banned texting while driving.
This man led to the cell phone development. “Doctor Mahlon Loomis was the first person to communicate through wireless atmosphere” (library.thinkquest.org). Originally cell phones were used as contractor phones and were mainly used by the government as police devices. Cellular phones also began their general use in mobile rigs which was mainly used in taxis, police cars and emergency vehicles for emergency situations. Truckers used a type of this technology to communicate with each other but it still was not available for general public use (answers.ask.com) Many technological improvements and advancements in society today have brought upon various gizmos that simplify lives.
The question has been asked, “Is it ethical for cell phone companies to sell cell phones without a written health warning to the user?” Has daily exposure to electromagnetic fields, including extremely low frequency magnetic fields and radiofrequency, in the environment caused the public any health problems? Questions are asked daily on the health risks involved in using wireless communication technology and most of the time you will receive the same answer, ‘There is no real evidence’. Several studies suggest that exposure to electromagnetic fields might associate with an elevated risk of cancer and other diseases in humans. Many laboratory studies have thus been conducted, but the results were controversial and no clear conclusion could be drawn. Why would cell phone companies need to supply a written health warning and make the users nervous when there is actually no evidence to support the health theories?
