" Triumph and Tragedy of Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart's life was full of contradictions. It contained great triumphs and ended in great tragedy. Amelia Earhart and her husband, George Putnam, created the image of Amelia Earhart. Her image of the female aviatrix, which gave her a platform for dispersing her views on a woman's place in society, was a triumph for Amelia Earhart and for the feminist movement. The creation, of this famous image, allowed Amelia Earhart to pursue and gain financial backing for a career in aviation. Amelia Earhart's public image, and, her record breaking flights had a synergetic effect on her life. Her life of independence was upheld as an example to women. Amelia Earhart's failed attempt to circumnavigate the globe, which ended her life, was a terrible tragedy. "

"Computers have become part of our everyday lives, often in ways of which we are unaware. Aside from the obvious use of computers in business and industry, computers are used in our automobiles, in retail stores, as burglar alarm systems and even in our videotape machines. Few professions have not been affected by the introduction of computers; in some cases, computers have completely replaced human employees. Many companies have used computers to improve their efficiency and productivity. Because computers are able to process thousands of bits of information very quickly and with extreme accuracy, their use has been especially welcomed in areas where lives are at stake, such as in medicine. In the aviation industry, computers have long been used to improve navigation and to provide better information to pilots."

"AIRPORT SECURITY
Abstract
The topic of airport security was examined. This examination was limited a consideration of security measures that can be taken by airport managements to minimize the potential for the occurrence of terrorist incidents.
Increased terrorist activities?both foreign and domestic?has enhanced the threat to airport security in the United States. An airline industry that is reluctant to either inconvenience passengers or spend money on airport security is one impediment to enhanced airport security. A fiscal ?slash and burn? attitude in the current Congress simply makes matters worse. The outcome of the investigation of the explosion of TWA Flight 800, if a definitive conclusion is ever reached, likely will determine future..'

" Anthropologists tell us that ancient man was a migrant, traveling wherever food, good water, and a more secure cave could be found. Man evolved into a trader bartering pretty pebbles with a neighboring tribe for the exchange of goods and that quest for wealth and profit led to great explorers like Marco Polo who with the help of tremendous personal wealth and sponsorship explored the globe in search of greater wealth and good ways to get it. Travel was an expensive, dangerous, personal or business decision where people made their own arrangements for transportation to take them where they wanted to go.
One way to examine the start of travel as an industry is to look at the history and beginnings of the oldest and still existent travel agency, Thomas Cook & Son. Thomas Cook, a Baptist missionary, was born in 1808. He was a member of the.."

"American Airlines
Executive Summary
American Airlines has been a leading US airline since the 1930s. It was a pioneer in the passenger air travel business with the advent of the then-revolutionary DC-3, for which its president, C.R. Smith, made the specifications. After that, American grew and prospered generally, until airline deregulation in the US in the 1980s. Since then, especially in the 1990s, the firm has experienced significant problems in coping with the new environment of increased competition and the consequent need to minimize fares and costs. The company's high wage structure and the strong unions for pilots and flight attendants have led to labor strife through this decade, culminating in a costly strike by flight attendants in 1993 and a threatened strike by pilots in.."

"ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) WITH AIRLINER ON-BOARD COMMUNICATIONS AND NAVIGATION SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF PASSENGER-CARRIED PORTABLE ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT
Introduction
Background on the Problem
Persistent reports have linked electromagnetic interference (EMI) with airliner on-board communications and navigation systems with the use on such aircraft of passenger-carried portable electronic equipment (Nordwall, 1993, p. 32). The problem is exacerbated by two developments--portable electronic equipment has proliferated, and the smaller size and low-voltage characteristics of modern aircraft electronics causes them to be increasingly vulnerable to EMI. In response to these events, some a..."

" Compare and Contrast Boeing, and Airbus Industrie Design History,
and Philosophy on the Boeing 777, and the Airbus A-330/340
Over the next decade, there should be an increased worldwide demand for large transport aircraft. The two major competitors for this market are the Boeing Company in the United States and Europe's Airbus Industrie. Although the Boeing 777 and Airbus A330/A340 families bear certain similarities, they are actually very different aircraft.
Introduction:
During the last fifty years, the commercial-class aircraft manufacturing industry has evolved into an "oligopolistic production structure" characterized by "extremely high survival risk" and "intense competition" (Golich, 1992, pp.899-934). Two of the industry's major contenders presently include Boeing and.."

"Americans turn to the media during natural disasters and severe weather as a source of information. Radio and television provide information on where an earthquake occurred and how strong it was, whether a tornado watch or warning is in effect, and which direction hurricanes and tropical storms are headed. Few dispute the importance of media coverage in these instances, and the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) evolved to take advantage of the ability of mass media to quickly inform thousands and even millions of individual about potential problems in their region. However, the media's coverage of disasters extends into the aftermath of the disaster, with information about the extent and cost of the damage, speculation about who (or what) was responsible for the event, and interviews with families who have been..."

"Since the mid-1990s, labor-management relations in the airline industry have been rocky at best. From the acrimonious and disruptive pilots strike at American Airlines to the current problems at both United Airlines and Delta Airlines, labor-management relations in the airline industry have proved to be damaging to airline firms, their workers, their customers, their stockholders, and to the nation generally (Zuckerman, 2000).
Generally speaking, airline management teams have been hostile to both the concept of unionization among industry employee groups and to specific labor unions that already represent employee groups either within the industry and at specific airline firms (Brannigan, 2000). The argument ..."

"Often called one of the greatest of the 20th Century, Denver International Airport, as explained in the case study, had 64 separate problems that merited attention and solution. Because of this, the only way to identify the ?Overall-clear cut problem which requires immediate attention? is to make an assumption that all of the 64 problem areas cited are actually subsets of the largest problem. After preparing a matrix of all the problems, it became apparent that the major problem is that at no time during the long time span identified in the case were the basic tenets of Project Management considered. Because of this failure, a project that was to cost a little over $1 billion cost almost $5 billion, and the final product was, and ..."

Categorizing Transportation Systems, 2002.
A look at the history of transport as divided into four categories - those that travel by wheels, those that travel by rails, those that travel by water, and those that travel by air.

Abstract
This paper discusses these categories and shows how both current and past transportation systems fit into these four categories. It also looks at how changing technology and the changing needs of society alters the forms of these transportation systems, but not the basic means by which they travel. It concludes that the four categories remain the same, while vehicles in each continue to develop.
From the Paper
"Firstly, it is necessary to define the term transport and the transportation systems that are being referred to. The term transport is defined as ?to carry from one place to another? (The American Heritage Dictionary). It is also necessary to distinguish between transport and transportation systems. For example, a ladder and an escalator are means of transport, as they allows people or goods to travel from one place to another. These are not, however, transportation systems. Transportation systems are means of transport created for the mass transport of people or goods. This definition includes all the forms of transport that are used to transport people over varying distances but excludes the transports such as the ladder and the escalator, since they are not a means of mass transport. It also excludes those means of transport that are not created."

Abstract
By using Southwest Airlines as a model, this paper establishes how essential it is for a company to have some form of culture or ethical guidline. It uses Geert Hofstede's "Four Dimension of Culture" theory to analyze the company and provides an overview of how the company?s policies enable it to secure a top position in the industry.
From the Paper
"Globalization has changed the way people do business today. Factors like strategies, resources or capacity to produce has become secondary to business agendas. Instead today businesses and businesspeople are more concerned with how they can achieve the maximum productivity and prosperity through alliances. These alliances often span far and wide, pilfering to foreign cultures. Often the alliances prove beneficial to the companies because of observation and approach companies take to deal with partner company?s culture. On the other hand there are also cases where the alliances have resulted in losses because partner companies fail to understand each other?s culture. For instance an American firm merging with a Japanese company will experience a shocking difference in social, economical and cultural environment. Before studying other?s culture, one therefore has to observe one?s own culture in order to detect what needs to be compromised or complimented when dealing with the business partners. The following is a study of Southwest Airlines, outlining their cultures and how they have incorporated it to achieve their business agendas using Geert Hofstede?s Four Dimension of Culture."

Abstract
This paper performs a SWOT analysis on Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and evaluates the results. The author finds that since the September 11 2001 attacks, airport security now costs four times what it did previously. With these rising costs, he finds that it is more important than ever for operations managers to stay abreast of their market positioning. They must constantly try to increase their revenues by attracting more passengers and increasing the number of flights. In order to do this, they must perform these SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats ) analyses to make better decisions based on solid facts.
From the Paper
"Successful airport management depends on several factors to remain competitive. First, the cost of supplies is on a continuous rise, as well as items such as fuel, utilities, and the cost of maintaining the planes. Airports are subject to several market risks as well, such as general economic conditions, events, which drop the number of passengers, and environmental factors that may cancel or delay flights. Airports are subject to increasing risk from ever-tightening EPA regulations and stiffer FAA regulations. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, airports were under incredible strain due to shaken consumer confidence in flying."
