Problems at Jetblue Gabriela Monstein BUX/219 7/1/2011 Problems at JetBlue The problems JetBlue experienced during the Valentines Day storm of 2007 were strictly related to technological issues. JetBlue was unprepared and unequipped for the worst case scenarios that took place during the storm. The main issue JetBlue faced began when the only way passengers would rebook or reschedule flights was through a call system. JetBlue had failed to set up a way to book flights via the JetBlue website or through a kiosk located at the airports. The Navataire Call system could only accommodate 650 agents, which was more than met requirements during normal circumstances (Rainer, 2010).
Tool control is important to help keep the work running smoothly and make it more eficent for marine aircrafts and other equipment to operate without any damaged. Keeping accountablity of your tools can keep the flight line running without interruptions for sucess to aricraft meintence. If a tool or piece of equipment was missplaced on the flightline or any where else you would first have to thoroughly look for it. If you cannot find it, he must report it to the proper quaified personnel. If the tool or piece of equipment is not found, the flight line must be shut down until it can be located.
This is because the pilot is the only person you can rely on when flying in there plane. Your life is in the pilots hands from the moment you step foot on the plane. They should do anything necessary to keep themselves and all the passengers and the crew safe. If that means carrying weapons, then so be it. Many say that they don’t want to see any type of guns on a plane, no matter if they are in a pilots hand or not.
Sweeney should not let others give him advice. Make all the decisions by his opinion. | Without anyone’s influence, Sweeney is able to make all the decisions by himself. This can reduce decision process time and better performance on the mission. | As the least experience officer on the plane, Sweeney’s decision without other’s knowledge could be unwise and led to mission failure.
This could have been avoided by a simple routine inspection. The shuttle was on its 25th mission and should have been more thoroughly inspected before being launched. There was another factor that may have caused the O-ring to fail. It was colder than predicted on the morning of the launch and adjustments were not made to the shuttle to account for this. Again another human error that could have been avoided that saved seven lives that changed many families.
The use of such software would provide convenience for employees, by saving them time by not having to ask for ID from customers. It would make it less likely that people could successfully use fake IDs if they are underage and their correct details are already stored on the computer. For the company it could also prevent the legal problems which may occur if they sell alcohols and cigarettes to minors impact company. If they do this they could face legal ramifications and fines, but with the use of such technology this is less likely analysis. However they would have notify customers of the use of the technology in their stores, as underage people may wish to avoid the stores which could lead to a decrease in sales from the stores who use the system.
People that are late to the airport because of traffic or something else may miss their flight because the security to get in the airport took too long and the flight went without them. If your flight is going to another country, some countries now require flights coming from other countries to press a button and see if you will have to have a random search on your entire luggage. This can greatly increase your time to get out of the airport and might make you miss a connecting flight or scheduled transportation. No matter how much security you put in airports, people can still find ways to sneak banned objects in. In a recent airport in Germany, a security tester managed to sneak 2 bottles of alcohol filled with soda bought at a duty free store.
Some people refuse to put seat belts on because they are too uncomfortable. During an interview Bohlin one said, “The pilots I worked with in the aerospace industry were willing to put on almost anything to keep them safe in case of a crash, but regular people in cars don't want to be uncomfortable even for a minute" (Ecenbarger). Certain individuals say that it’s their life and they can risk it by not putting a seat belt on if they don't’ want to. Even though some people think that having a seat
Given what we know about the nature of how organizations in the modern era function it is not really feasible to say that any particular department in any organization should receive some form of informational training on human factors without including every department in the organization. Within aviation well it is certainly true that flight crews do a significant amount of important work in terms of operating the aircraft and transferring passengers and cargoes safely across air route, but it is also equally important that every other department that interacts in aviation with the flight crew is equally trained on human factors and safety management and the likelihood of how human error can affect the overall workings of the organization.
Last Chance In Leonardo DiCaprio’s 2007 documentary, The 11th Hour, we see that our blue planet is dangerously ill, and we don’t have much time to heal it. Human society has had a serious problem with nature since the industrial revolution. DiCaprio shows us that we are over using natural resources and emitting a lot of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere. Our next generations will not survive if we keep doing what we are doing now in the future. In environmentalist Bill McKibben’s 2008 article, “Civilization Last Chance,” we are warned that we are in a state of emergency time we have little to save our environment from the danger.
