Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended by the Equal Employment Act of 1972 states that it is illegal to discriminate in all employment activities with regard to the individuals religion, race, color, national origin and sex. The exception to this law is companies are allowed to enforce occupational qualifications, seniority and merit systems, testing and educational requirements. This means that JetBlue can refuse to hire an Asian pilot if he does not have the necessary qualifications to be a pilot. That would not be a Title VII violation. If JetBlue had a
President Roosevelt, former governor of New York, did not believe in racial segregation of African-Americans and when African-Americans were hired to drive buses in Philadelphia during the war, some residents refused to ride the buses others threatened to burn the buses. Roosevelt sent troops to ride on the buses, eventually everyone realized that you need to catch the bus or else you would end up walking a long way so it was change even though it wasn’t much. No black pilots had ever been used before by the United States, one of the reasons is since in order to become a pilot, blacks had to achieve high-test scores and be college educated. However, in 1944 President Eisenhower supported integrated combat units and the air force began to let black Americans fly planes and even though they were only allowed to fly in segregated units it was a turning point. Overall, the Second World War was a turning point in the growth of the civil Rights of black Americans as it was a catalyst for change as it made black Americans more politically aware and feel that they had the right to demand change.

Armed Pilots 1 A LOOK AT THE ARGUMENT OF ARMING PILOTS A look at the argument of arming airline pilots D M Aeronautical Science for Management AGMT 202 Arming Pilots 2 ABSTRACT: This paper gives both sides to the argument about pilots carrying guns in the cockpits. While on the one hand the pilots would be able to protect themselves and their passengers if they carried guns, on the other hand there are those pilots that have never had gun training and do not care to handle guns. When they became pilots they did not take into consideration that they might have to become 'soldiers of the air' as well. Armed pilots 3 A look at the argument of arming airline pilots On the subject of airline safety, I feel that the consideration of guns being carried by pilots is astoundingly important. There has been much controversy as to whether pilots should be allowed to carry guns in the cockpit.
Should airport security be toned down? According to Washington Post writer Derek Kravitz, “Transportation Security Administration calls it the new reality of airport security” (Kravitz). Numerous people do not use air transportation because they feel that some of the security measures are too personal and a violation of their space. People are naturally not comfortable while being patted down by a random person from head to toe. Do people understand why there are so many security procedures at airports?

Many little things pose threats on traveler’s safety of flying. One of these they call the 3-1-1, which limits the content and use of carry-ons. The regulations are three once liquid or gel containers, one plastic bag for your liquids and one bag per traveler placed in the screening bins. If in doubt of the amounts of liquids always then put them in luggage that is sent to the plane right away. Also sharp items, such as box cutters, are not allowed because it prevents injuries from happening to others and inspectors.
Gladwell ends this segment by emphasizing an important point about communication when he says: “what was required of Ratwatte was that he communicate, and communicate not just in the sense of issuing commands but also in the sense of encouraging and cajoling and calming and negotiating and sharing information in the clearest and most transparent manner possible”. Segment six shows what can happen when an airline pilot and crew do not communicate effectively. This occurred in the case of Avianca 052, and Gladwell shows that although the caption was desperate, the first officer did not communicate this to the ATC: he never said the word emergency”. In fact, the first officer spoke in an unemotional way with pauses that did not signal that the plane was in danger of crashing. Gladwell next introduces the concept of “mitigated speech” which was defined as “ any attempt to downplay or sugarcoat the meaning of what is being said.” Gladwell includes some examples of his type of speech, and he offers some important concepts about mitigation that are relevant to airplane safety when he says: we mitigate when we’re being polite, or even when we’re
In this incident health and safety plays a major role as the AWS (Automatic Warning System) was defective and not checked beforehand if it was in working order or not which increases the risks of collisions occurring, also the driver was paying no attention to the red signals that time which spells danger SPAD (Signal Passed At Danger), in this case the driver actions were not acceptable where he was supposed to keep his eyes upfront at all times regardless of what may occur with him. Scenario 1: China Air Line 611 Crash In this scenario the crash was the most intensifying and shocking crash I’ve seen all due to a fail check up of the previous tail crash which was only temporarily repaired 22 years later after that incident with the tail, not only was there tiny repairs were made, but the person in charge of the repairs failed to find the origin of what happen 22 years ago, thus causing this horrific
