Abstract
This paper discusses labor relations in the airline industry, noting how deregulation changed the nature of those relations and caused the airlines to seek more ways of cutting costs. This paper further discusses how 9-11 added to the costs for the airlines who were then forced to reduce salaries and divest pension plans, creating new tensions that have not yet worked themselves out.
From the Paper
"Labor relations for some industries can be quite contentious, while for others accommodations are often made on both sides. The airline industry shows examples of both, and in general labor disputes in the industry show a pattern of change in recent years, with new forces at work and with many new concerns bringing in government action, including concerns about the effect of labor problems on safety in the light of potential terrorist acts. As von Nordenflycht and Kochan (2003) write, "even before the events of September 11, 2001, observers perceived strains in the industry's labor relations system, claiming that contracts were taking longer to negotiate, rank-and-file rejections of tentative agreements were more frequent, and job actions were on the rise."

Abstract
This paper considers the way the implementation of GPS technology (Global Positioning Satellite) in aviation has affected safety and what this will likely mean for the future. It discusses how GPS technology has become a major technological advance for use by the airline industry and for aviation at all levels and how the tracking capabilities and accuracy of this technology has had a major impact on aviation safety as a result.
From the Paper
" The creation of the Global Positioning System (GPS) offered a boon to many people and many professions. The use of GPS for ships at sea was noted early. The system was also deemed of particular value to the military and so to the government, which protected aspects off the technology for some time and kept these from wider public use. More recently, GPS technology has become viable for virtually everyone and has been included in automobiles, laptops, individual electronic tracking devices, and much more. GPS technology has also become a major technological advance for use by the airline industry and for aviation at all levels, and the tracking capabilities and accuracy of this technology has had a major impact on aviation safety as a result.

Abstract
This paper discusses the Canadian airline industry. Some historical reference is used to support the research and particular emphasis is given to Air Canada. Air Canada is Canada's largest airline with approximately 70% of the market and as such has a considerable impact on the overall economy. Some mention is given to the national airport systems (NAS) and its relationship to the airline industry.
From the Paper
"The Canadian Airline industry is often overlooked in relation to the North American airline industry as a whole and in relation to the financial woes of the American airline industry. Yet, the Canadian airline industry suffered as much a devastating blow due to the events of September 11^th, 2001 (9/11) as the American airline industry. A general global spiral in the performance of air carriers internationally has not bypassed the Canadian airline industry either. "

Spatial Disorientation in Aviation, 2005.
An analysis of the psychological and medical aspects of spatial disorientation in aviation.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 6 sources, AU$ 134.95

Abstract
This paper looks at how the medical approach to understanding vestibular systems is an important aspect of spatial disorientation in modern flight. The lack of navigational instruments for some fliers portends a variety of problems that can create psychological, neurological and biological problems when seeking the horizon line in flight. By examining these various factors in relation to the medical aspects of spatial disorientation, it shows how the issue of neurological function becomes a central issue in understanding how various illusions can arise in the mind of the pilot.
From the Paper
"The premise of this medical study will be to analyze the various problems with spatial disorientation that occurs due to aeronautical applications in flight. The problem of vestibular system function when pilots cannot use flight instruments occurs through a complex set of inner ear functions. By examining how spatial disorientation produces a biological reaction to space relationships, one can realize the psychological affect this has on pilots. By examining both a medical and psychological reaction to spatial disorientation, a dualistic approach to this problem can be utilized to show interrelationships between the body and mind. The human body has certain functions that allow a human being to understand his or her relationship between space and objective points with the horizon line. "

Aircraft Accidents, 2005.
This paper examines how weather conditions can cause fatal aircraft crashes.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, AU$ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how weather conditions have often been a contributing factor in fatal aircraft crashes, especially in private and civil transport aviation. The paper explains that this is because some of these pilots have not acquired sufficient practical or IFR experience to overcome the challenges imposed by overcast weather conditions in elevated terrain, or by intense fog on a landing approach. The paper stresses that this is especially when flying at night, when darkness can exacerbate these challenges. The paper illustrates how tragically, some pilots tend to underestimate the difficulties low ceilings or adverse weather systems can impose, or they overestimate their piloting skills.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the business climate in the country of Canada, and then considers how this applies specifically to one industry, the airline industry. The writer examines how the industry may be able to compete in the U.S. market. Further, the writer notes some of the issues that prevail today because of changes after 9-11, as well as problems with the competitive environment in Canada.
From the Paper
"The business climate in Canada, as detailed by 'The Economist' and reported by its "Country Briefings" website, suggests that the country currently enjoys a stable political environment even though the ruling party faces some difficulty because of a tarnished image caused by various scandals. The country faces a number of difficult political issues and also has had to address diplomatic differences with the United States, the giant neighbor to the south. The government also recently introduced new spending measures while working to avoid deficit financing. Monetary policy has been tightened by the Bank of Canada, while interest rates in the United States continue to increase. GDP growth increased slightly in 2005 and is forecast to grow slightly less in 2006 "as firm domestic demand offsets the negative impact of a slowdown in the US economy"."

Abstract
This twelve page graduate paper examines the airline industry. The author notes that the past four decades have demonstrated the cyclical nature of the airline industry, for domestic and foreign carriers have experienced periods of huge profits followed by huge losses. Essentially, the industry's problems today are directly related to its successes of the mid to late nineteen-nineties, for they have arisen because of the questionable choices that were made when commercial jets were filled to capacity and revenue was flowing in.
From the Paper
"The past four decades have demonstrated the cyclical nature of the airline industry, for domestic and foreign carriers have experienced periods of huge profits followed by huge losses. Essentially, the industry's problems today are directly related to its successes of the mid to late nineteen-nineties, for they have arisen because of the questionable choices that were made when commercial jets were filled to capacity and revenue was flowing in. During those boom years, the industry found itself profiting from low interest rates, a growing economy, low fuel prices, and labor concessions gained during the more turbulent early part of the decade."

Abstract
This paper discusses the airline industry, what factors affect it and what the economic environment today. The author points out what the industry can do in the future to increase business. The paper relates that, since 9-11, the airline industry has been affected deeply by security issues independent of the economic indicators because travel was reduced by fear of flying and by the inconvenience of increased security resulting long lines and delays.
From the Paper
"The airline industry is a service industry and is subject to various economic forces determined by the health of the economy. The airline business carries goods and passengers from one destination to another. Businesses use the airline to deliver goods rapidly, but there are other means of delivery if the expense becomes too great. Passengers travel for business and for pleasure. Business travelers may curtail their travel in times when money is tight, and people traveling for pleasure are even more likely to do so. More recently, the airline industry has been much affected by security issues independent of the economic indicators. Since 9-11, travel has been reduced first by fear of flying and second by inconvenience because of increased security and resulting long lines and delays."
