  • Master's Thesis Mergers and Acquisitions in the U.S. Airline Industry
    Master’s Thesis MSc in Finance and Investments Mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. airline industry An event study of stock data observations from the last three decades May 15, 2017 Author: Lars Christian Hjorth-Johansen Supervisor: Björn Preuß Consisting of 165,841 characters including spaces - equivalent to 79 pages. ABSTRACT After the Deregulation Act of 1978 changed the U.S. airline industry from being government controlled to a liberalized market, a merger wave struck the industry where consolidation among a great proportion of airlines created the legacy carriers of today. Three decades later, the industry have seen a new wave, only this time with a completely different underlying motivation. From previously consolidating in order to grow geographically and improve operational performance, the new millennium have seen U.S. airlines merge in order to survive as bankruptcies and financial distress have challenged the existence of the majority of U.S. airlines. Where there exists evidence of collusive pricing as a result of the mergers in the post- deregulation time period, there are not any recent research including mergers of the 21st century. With a foundation based on previous studies, this thesis aims to answer two hypotheses. The first hypothesis asks whether there are positive abnormal returns for bidder and target airlines involved in an airline merger at the time of announcement. The second hypothesis looks at the existence of collusion among rivals through the market power hypothesis, which suggests that rivals benefit from competitors’ mergers as collaboration limits output and increase prices. The hypotheses are tested through an event study where all available stock data from U.S.

  • This Is the Us Master Pilot Scablist the Unionist's Edition
    THIS IS THE US MASTER PILOT SCABLIST THE UNIONIST’S EDITION A SCAB is A Person Who is Doing What You’d be Doing if You Weren’t on Strike. A SCAB takes your job, a Job he could not get under normal circumstances. He can only advance himself by taking advantage of labor disputes and walking over the backs of workers trying to maintain decent wages and working conditions. He helps management to destroy his and your profession, often ending up under conditions he/she wouldn't even have scabbed for. No matter. A SCAB doesn't think long term, nor does he think of anything other then himself. His smile shows fangs that drip with your blood, for he willingly destroys families, lives, careers, opportunities and professions at the drop of a hat. He takes from a striker what he knows he could never earn by his own merit: a decent Job. He steals that which others earned at the bargaining table through blood, sweat and tears, and throws it away in an instant - ruining lives, jobs and careers. ONCE A SCAB, ALWAYS A SCAB - NEVER FORGET! Below are brief notes about legal strikes by organized pilots. 1. Century Airlines 1932: Pilots struck to resist wage reduction by E.L Cord, the patron saint of Frank Lorenzo. 2. TWA 1946: Pilots struck over pay on faster 4 engine aircraft, limited by the provisions of Decision 83. 3. National Airlines 1948: Strike over aircraft safety and repeated violations of the labor contract. 4. Western Airlines 1958: Qualifications of the Flight Engineer.

In this paper, I estimate the effects of headquarters’ proximity to plants on plant investment and productivity. Using the introduction of new airline routes as a source of exogenous variation in proximity, I find that new airline routes that reduce the travel time between headquarters and plants lead to an increase in plant investment of 8% to 9% and to an increase in plants’ total factor productivity of 1.3% to 1.4%. The results are robust to controlling for local and firm-level shocks that could potentially cause the introduction of new airlines routes, they are robust when I consider only new airline routes that are the outcome of a merger between two airlines or the opening of a new hub, and they are robust when I consider only indirect flights where either the last leg of the flight (involving the plant’s home base airport) or the first leg of the flight (involving headquarters’ home base airport) remains unchanged.

  • Communicative Experiences of African American Female Pilots on the Flight Deck: an Application of Co-Cultural Theory and Narrat
    Communicative Experiences of African American Female Pilots on the Flight Deck: An Application of Co-Cultural Theory and Narrative Nonfiction to Inform Crew Resource Management by Michael L. Zirulnik A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved September 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Janet Alberts, Co-Chair Benjamin Broome, Co-Chair Lee Gutkind Mark Orbe ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2015 © 2015 Michael L. Zirulnik All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT This study sought to inform the curriculum of crew resource management (CRM) for multi-pilot flight deck operations. The CRM curriculum requires continued reexamination to ensure safe flight in the changing demographic of flight decks in the US. The study calls attention to the CRM curriculum’s insufficient inclusion of robust training components to address intercultural communication skills and conflict management strategies. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, the study examined the communicative experiences of African American female military and airline transport pilots on the flight deck and within the aviation industry. Co-cultural theory was used as a theoretical framework to investigate these co-researcher’s (pilots) experiences. A parallel goal of the investigation was to better understand raced and gendered communication as they occur in this specific context—the flight deck of US airlines and military aircraft. The researcher conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews and shadowed two co-researchers (pilots) for a period of days and built a relationship with them over the course of one year. Eight years of preparation working in the airline industry situated the researcher for this study.
