Download or read book Aviation Industry Performance written by David A. Dobbs and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a comprehensive analysis of aviation industry trends in 2008 and their impact on aviation system performance, and demand and capacity for domestic and international flights. Unprecedented fuel prices in the first 3 quarters of 2008 followed by a worsening global economic recession drastically impacted the airline industry, with $5.8 billion in operating losses for the year and multiple bankruptcies. Airlines responded to the dramatic shift in their operating environment by cutting flights, raising airfares, and tapping into ancillary sources of revenue. Domestic passenger traffic declined by 10% in the 4th quarter of 2008, compared to the 4th quarter of 2007. Tables and graphs.

Download or read book Labor Relations in the Aviation and Aerospace Industries written by Robert W. Kaps and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2012-03-08 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this textbook designed for courses on aviation labor relations, the authors-experts with many years of experience in these sectors-examine and evaluate the labor process for all aspects of the aviation and aerospace industries, including aerospace manufacturing, airlines, general aviation, federal and state administrative agencies, and public airports. Divided into three parts-Public Policy and Labor Law; Principles, Practices and Procedures in Collective Bargaining and Dispute Resolution; and the Changing Labor Relations Environment-the book provides an overview of the industries and the development of US labor law and policy, then explores the statutory, regulatory, and case laws applicable to each industry segment before concluding with an examination of current and developing issues and trends. The authors present the evolution of aviation and aerospace labor laws, going as far back as the early nineteenth century to lay the historical foundation, and cover the development and main features of the principal statutes governing labor relations in the United States today, the Railway Labor Act, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Civil Service Reform Act. They also investigate the growth of the industries and their impact on labor relations, as well as the current issues and challenges facing management and labor in each segment of this dynamic, sometimes volatile, business and their implications for collective bargaining. Twenty case studies not only illuminate practical applications of such fundamental concepts as unfair labor practices and unions' duty of fair representation but also enliven the subject, preparing the reader to use the concepts in real-world decision making. A study guide with review questions, online assignments, supplemental readings, and exercises is available for students. For those teachers using the textbook in their courses, there is an instructor's manual with additional resources for developing courses in the classroom, online, or by blended learning, as well as a variety of assignments and materials to enhance and vary the mock negotiation exercise. A revision and expansion of Robert W. Kaps's Air Transport Labor Relations, this outstanding new volume provides students and teachers with valuable information and perspectives on industries that are highly dependent on technologically skilled labor. Labor Relations in the Aviation and Aerospace Industries offers a sweeping and thorough treatment of labor relations, public policy, law, and practice and is the definitive work on the labor process in the aviation and aerospace sectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This is a timely, challenging and fascinating book on a topic of central importance to the success or otherwise of our climate change policies. It sets down a clear marker for what has to be done in the aviation sector.' Professor John Whitelegg, Stockholm Environment Institute, University of York, UK 'Climate Change and Aviation presents a clear picture of the transport sector's greatest challenge: how to reconcile aviation's immense popularity with its considerable environmental damage and its dependence on liquid hydrocarbon energy sources. This book avoids wishful thinking and takes the much harder, but more productive, path of considering difficult solutions that clash with short-term and short-sighted expectations about the unlimited growth potential for flying.' Professor Anthony Perl, Urban Studies Program, Simon Fraser University, Canada 'A convincing and timely collection that brings together an impressive range of expertise. The book integrates various perspectives into a powerful core argument - we must do something, and quickly, to tackle the impact of aviation on our environment. The authors recognise the political difficulties associated with promoting change but present constructive options for policy makers. Required reading, especially for transport ministers set on promoting the growth of air travel.' Professor Jon Shaw, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Transport, University of Plymouth, UK Trends such as the massive growth in availability of air travel and air freight are among those which have led to aviation becoming one of the fastest growing emitters of greenhouse gases. These trends have also caused a shift in expectations of how we do business, where we go on holiday, and what food and goods we can buy. For these reasons aviation is (and is set to stay) high up on global political, organizational and media agendas. This textbook is the first to attempt a comprehensive review of the topic, bringing together an international team of leading scientists. Starting with the science of the environmental issues, it moves on to cover drivers and trends of growth, socio-economics and politics, as well as mitigation options, the result being a broad yet detailed examination of the field. This is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in transport, tourism, the environment, geography and beyond, while also being a valuable resource for professionals and policymakers seeking a clear understanding of this complex yet urgently pressing issue.

Book excerpt: The U.S. passenger airline industry is vital to the U.S. economy. Airlines directly generate billions of dollars in revenues each year and catalyze economic growth. Interest in the airlines' ability to weather volatile fuel prices and the economic recession led to congressional requests for this review. The auditor examined how: (1) the financial condition of the U.S. passenger airline industry has changed, the principal factors affecting its condition, and its prospects for 2009; (2) airlines have responded to the factors affecting their financial condition; and (3) changes in the industry have affected airports, passengers, and the Airport and Airway Trust Fund, which funds the FAA¿s capital programs and most of its operations. Includes recommend. Charts and tables.

Download or read book Evolution of International Aviation written by Dawna L. Rhoades and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is twofold. First, it lays out the forces that shaped the international aviation industry and that changed all the rules in the drive for liberalization. Second, it looks at the many interesting and difficult choices ahead that the airline industry in general and the international aviation industry in particular face. These choices include many dichotomies: pulling back from the trend toward liberalization or embracing the liberalization trend, merging in search of profitability or fragmenting the industry in search of economies. These possible futures are explored including the pros and cons of each future from a national, consumer, employer, and employee perspective. As with the previous two editions, Evolution of International Aviation reviews the historical development of the international aviation system. From this foundation it then provides an updated and expanded account of the current state of the aviation and aerospace industry including profitability, consolidation, and merger activity. New to this edition, the book broadens the coverage of the industry segments - airlines, air cargo, and manufacturing - to include the emerging commercial space sector. It also emphasizes the relationship between aviation and the political process, exploring the sustainability of this mode of transportation in a world of climate change, high oil prices, and political instability. Because this book is intended for both the interested amateur and the more serious student, references are provided in the text and at the end of each chapter to allow for further in-depth study. The third edition also adds to each chapter a set of learning objectives and a concluding series of questions for discussion.

It explains the linkages between domains such as politics, society, technology, economy, ecology, regulation and how these influence each other. Examples of airports and airlines, and case studies in each chapter support the application-oriented approach. Students and researchers in business administration with a focus on the aviation industry, as well as professionals in the industry looking to refresh or broaden their knowledge of the field will benefit from this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerospace Law and Policy Series, Volume 23 In an increasingly competitive air transport environment, airlines are forced to adapt their business models, including employment conditions, in order to maintain and possibly enhance their presence in the market. The airline market is cyclical, and each traffic recovery is accompanied by numerous social developments; air laws and social regulations are becoming closer. This practical and thoroughly researched book brings together, for the first time, the topical legal issues relating to the employment of civil aviation personnel. Considering the latest publications, doctrinal opinions, legal bases, and case law, the author and several distinguished contributors cover such issues and topics as the following: EU social regulations in relation to third States; civil aviation safety rules that have an impact on the working conditions of crew members; social security systems applicable to crew members; competent court and labour law applicable to crew members’ employment relationships; key questions pertaining to posting crew members across borders; social issues related to the leasing of aircraft, including crew; data protection of crew members; atypical forms of employment in the aviation industry; right to strike for crew members; employment consequences of transfer of undertakings in civil aviation; and role of trade unions and collective labour agreements in air transport. The author also traces the process of liberalisation of the EU air transport market and its consequences on the operational structures of airlines and on the working conditions of crew members. For ease of reading, the annex to this book contains excerpts of the relevant legal texts. Lawyers, officials, business people, policymakers and academics with a professional interest in aviation law will find concise yet comprehensive guidance in this book that will help them to understand and address social and legal issues in the ever-changing world of aviation.
