Support RAND Make a tax-deductible charitable contribution at www.rand.org/giving/contribute www.rand.org Preface The research discussed in this report was conducted for a project entitled “Pilot Retention Pay Under New Laws.” The purpose of the project was to consider how changes in external demand from airline hiring will affect Air Force pilot retention and provide estimates of how modifications to the aviator retention pay (ARP) and aviator pay (AP) programs will influence Air Force pilot retention. To accomplish this goal, this research reviews earlier studies, con- siders the supply and compensation of airline pilots, and makes an assessment of the future demand for airline pilots. It extends and estimates RAND’s dynamic retention model for Air Force pilots and runs simulations to find the effects of increases in airline pilot pay and hiring on Air Force pilot retention and determine the changes in ARP and AP that could offset those effects. It also simulates the effects of eliminating AP for pilots assigned to non-flying posi- tions. This document should be of interest to those concerned with special and incentive pays in the military, and specifically those interested in the effect of the commercial airline industry on Air Force pilot retention. The research reported here was sponsored by AF/A1P and SAF/MR and conducted within the Manpower, Personnel, and Training Program of Project AIR FORCE.

Washington, D.C. 20594 National Transportation Safety Board. 2016. Runway Excursion During Landing, Delta Air Lines Flight 1086, Boeing MD-88, N909DL, New York, New York, March 5, 2015. Aircraft Accident Report NTSB/AAR-16/02. Washington, DC. Abstract: This report discusses the March 5, 2015, accident in which Delta Air Lines flight 1086, a Boeing MD-88 airplane, N909DL, was landing on runway 13 at LaGuardia Airport, New York, New York, when it departed the left side of the runway, contacted the airport perimeter fence, and came to rest with the airplane’s nose on an embankment next to Flushing Bay. The 2 pilots, 3 flight attendants, and 98 of the 127 passengers were not injured; the other 29 passengers received minor injuries. The airplane was substantially damaged. Safety issues discussed in the report relate to the use of excessive engine reverse thrust and rudder blanking on MD-80 series airplanes, the subjective nature of braking action reports, the lack of procedures for crew communications during an emergency or a non-normal event without operative communication systems, inaccurate passenger counts provided to emergency responders following an accident, and unclear policies regarding runway friction measurements and runway condition reporting.

Meland* University of Minnesota - United States Submitted 7 Jan 2013; received in revised form 28 Mar 2013; accepted 16 Jun 2013 Abstract This paper continues and expands several themes from previous studies of commercial airline cost functions. A well specified industrial cost function reveals characteristics about the market players, such as economies of scale and the cost elasticities with respect to operational styles. Using a translog specification, and its restricted first-order form, this paper updates previous parameter estimates, reworks the experimental design, and gives new analysis to describe the spectrum of choices facing airline firms in recent years. The translog model in this paper allows the energy cost share to interact with other variables and illuminate what factors may exacerbate cost sensitivity to energy prices, an advance in this specific area of interpretation. The result shows that fuel cost shares tend to be higher with older equipment, smaller fleet sizes, and to be increasing in aircraft size and seating density. The restricted first-order model indicates that older aircraft designs are more costly to operate, even accounting for operational style. This may imply that airlines with poorer access to capital suffer a cost disadvantage, particularly during a fuel spike – also a new contribution of the paper.

  • History of the Dane County Regional Airport
    History Of The Dane County Regional Airport 1920’s: Madison’s first airport Barnstormer Howard Morey of Chicago, Edgar Quinn and J.J. McMannamy organized the Madison Airways Corporation. Located near highways 12 and 18 on the south shore of Lake Monona, Madison’s first airport was born. In 1927, the Royal Rapid Transit Company (RRTC) purchased the Madison Airways Corporation. The airport was quickly renamed the Royal Airport and the Royal Airways Corporation (RAC). RRTC provided Madison with the first cabin airplane (which sat five passengers) and the first airline to provide daily service to Chicago. In 1927, the City of Madison purchased 290 acres of land for $35,380. Previously a cabbage patch for a nearby sauerkraut factory, the newly acquired land would later become the present day home of the Dane County Regional Airport. In 1928, RRTC discontinued service to Chicago and liquidated its assets. 1930’s: Madison’s first airplane manufacturing plant Madison welcomes the first airplane manufacturing plant – the Corben Sport Plane Company. Corben designed and produced his semi-built “Super Ace” kits, which included converted Fort Model A motors. In 1934, Corben left Madison amid bankruptcy. Wisconsin artist Cal Peters, in 1936, painted a Depression Era mural of his vision of what the Madison Municipal Airport would be. The mural depicted a terminal building along Highway 51, and two crosswind runways. The restored mural is displayed in the Greeter’s lounge in the center of the main terminal. In January of 1936, the city council voted to accept a WPA grant for construction of four runways and an airplane hangar.
