Abstract
To have an appropriate sense of the history of air travel in Canada, it is appropriate to look at the history and background of Air Canada. To wit, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Mackenzie King laid the foundation for modern Canadian air travel when, in 1937, it established Trans-Canada Air Lines (TCA) as a Crown Corporation charged with providing airline service within Canada's borders. This Crown Corporation, for what it is worth, was originally a wholly-owned subsidiary of the government-owned Canadian National Railway Corporation. From 1937 to 1959, the company had a monopoly on all domestic air routes and a monopoly on trans-border routes until 1967. During these years, it appears as though the federal Cabinet of Canada micro-managed many aspects of the company's business - right down to determining the airline's routes and fares.

Abstract
The following paper looks at the policies of the United States and Canada vis-a-vis trans-border air pollution. Specifically, the paper considers the 1991 Air Quality Agreement between the two nations and a 2000 Ozone Annex. The paper also briefly discusses some of the key measures implemented and to what extent each country is guilty of reneging on its environmental commitments. In the end, both nations are pushing ahead - but the pace of change could certainly be increased.

Abstract
The paper looks at the 1991 Air Quality Agreement between the two nations and the 2000 Ozone Annex. The paper briefly discusses some of the key measures implemented and to what extent each country is guilty of reneging on its environmental commitments. The paper concludes that both nations are pushing ahead, but shows how the pace of change could and should be increased.

From the Paper
"To start with, both Canada and the United States have worked cooperatively to reduce trans-border or trans-boundary pollution. To wit, as early as 1991 the two countries signed an agreement - the Canada-US Air Quality Agreement - wherein each pledged to reduce trans-boundary air pollution contributing to acid rain. Specifically, both nations agreed to implement measures reducing emissions of sulphur dioxide as well as nitrogen oxides. Both nations agreed to work together as well to develop the scientific and technical tools necessary for eliminating (or at least greatly reducing) acid rain levels in North America (Environment Canada, 2006). A little more than 9 years later, in December of 2000, the two countries also came together and signed an Ozone Annex that established benchmarks for reducing the "trans-boundary flow" of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, as well as reducing the flow and production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (Environment Canada, 2006). Understandably, both of these measures deserve to be looked at more closely insofar as they appear to constitute the foundations of both countries' approach to trans-boundary air pollution."

Abstract
This paper describes the task of air traffic controllers, which is to ensure safety for commercial and private aircraft, and various issues they encounter in their work. First, the paper discusses how the air traffic control system is run by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and the ATCSCC (Air Traffic Control System Command Center) which is the at the head of all traffic control management. Then, the paper examines situations and conditions which can make the work stressful and difficult. Next, the paper considers staffing and management of air traffic controllers. Other issues that are explored include aircraft separation criteria and other safety measures. Finally, the paper addressed costs in air traffic control and the possibility of privatization. The paper concludes by discussing radar systems of communication and their importance.

From the Paper
"The air traffic control system is run by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration, which uses the airspace divisions to guide the system. The ATCSCC (Air Traffic Control System Command Center is the at the head of all traffic control management. Problems such as bad weather, traffic overloads, and faulty runways are also under the jurisdiction of the ATCSCC. There is one Air Rout Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) for each center. The function of this entity is to handle air traffic within each sector except for TRACON and local airspace. The Air Each airport has an Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT), which handles takeoff, landing, and ground traffic. The Flight Service Station (FSS) focuses its service and information on small airports and rural areas, where private pilots are in need of information such as the weather, route, terrain, and flight plan. The FSS also handles emergencies and search-and-rescue missions for aircraft that are missing or overdue."

Abstract
This paper discusses the regulatory environment for air pollution and its control in the Ann Arbor region, noting that Ann Arbor is key to the fight against air pollution through the actions of the National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in the city. The organization provides a technical review of the issue and of the technical and regulatory issues involved in controlling emissions to reduce air pollution.

From the Paper
"Air pollution affects the Ann Arbor region as it does other major cities, and Ann Arbor is also key to the fight against air pollution through the actions of the National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in the city. The organization provides a technical review of the issue and of the technical and regulatory issues involved in controlling emissions to reduce air pollution. This organization and researchers at the University of Michigan provide recommendations, expertise, and analysis for various governmental organizations at different levels across the country to address the regulatory issues raised by air pollution and the need to reduce it and its effects."

Abstract
This paper relates that Joe Chidley, editor of "Canadian Business" magazine, paints a pessimistic outlook for Air Canada's potential future fiscal success in his article "Up in the Air". The author is critical of Chidley's method of analysis. The paper stresses that, although the United States and Canada share a common border, business statistics relative to various industries should not be utilized when making pronouncements as to the potential success or failure of that industry.

From the Paper
"Joe Chidley, editor of Canadian Business magazine, paints a pessimistic outlook for Air Canada's potential future fiscal success in his article, "Up in the Air." While Childley relates a positive post-bankruptcy personal experience flying the Air Canada system, he does not offer any reasons for the airline becoming viable; instead he cites a litany of arguments pointing to the failure of both Air Canada and its parent company, ACE Aviation. Citing figures emanating primarily from the United States, Chidley notes the airline industry's consistent decline over the past several years and the added strain placed upon the industry post 9/11 with fears of terrorism via airliner. Though the United States and Canada share a border, business statistics relative to various industries should not be utilized when making pronouncements as to the potential success or failure of said industry."

From the Paper
"Certainly this will cause restructuring in terms of Human Resources in job function and description relating to the role of those responsible for assuring such disinfection of airline carriers. This has however, been addressed by certain airlines under review in this study in that flexibility in job role has been adapted by several airlines. This need for job role flexibility is further noted in the work of Guillet, et al (1999) in the work entitled: "Origin and Prevention of Airport Malaria in France" published in the Tropical Medical International Health Journal (1999)."

From the Paper
"Southwest is faced with many alternatives for expansion. However, the first alternative is to leave the business as it is. Southwest consistently posts profits despite hard times in the industry. The theme of this strategy is to remain committed to what Southwest does best by continually being the industry's low cost provider. While this might not seem like a viable course of action, consider that the top competitors have all posted losses in the past three years (Graph 1). It is sometimes a good strategy to wait until strong opponents are weak to take advantage of them. Case in point, Southwest has overtaken U.S. Airways in terms of sales as of 2003 without changing its strategy. However, it is unlikely at best that the remaining five top competitors will all file for bankruptcy twice in as many years as U.S. Airways did."

Abstract
The paper shows that as the early boom of commercial air travel peaked in the late sixties and early seventies, the cost levied by the most popular and powerful airlines had virtually no standard of limitation. There was little competition in Great Britain for economic command of the air industry and the British Parliament's cozy relationship with British Airways ensured a monopolistic situation in which the consumer was not offered the advantages of a competitive market. The paper explains how this changed for a brief period in 1971 when Freddie Laker, former managing director of British United Airways, unveiled some of the groundbreaking features of his new Laker Airways. The paper discusses Laker's struggle in creating a Skytrain and the methods used by British airline in their attempts to prevent his airline dream of becoming a reality.
ITconcludes with the eventual folding of Laker Airlines in 1982 after it failed to break into the European market.

From the Paper
"His vision was of a steady service from London to New York with no advanced booking and no frills called Skytrain. The idea was to establish a first-come first-served day-of-departure system. For many years, Laker's innovations stalled in the courts, where the major airlines, who stood to lose the most form Laker's savvy, philanthropic business measures, wrangled to keep the Skytrain dream from lifting off the ground. The cut-rate fares and option laden flight packages that Laker Airways had spearheaded reflected rather poorly on the common practices of other, more bureaucratic and heretofore lucrative air companies. To avoid the exploitation of their flaws as consumer servicemen, as well as to stifle the rise of an able usurper in Freddie Laker, the major airlines united to throw one legal roadblock after another into the pathway of Skytrain and a proliferation of flyers' rights."
