    The AAmerican Experiment: A Tragedy of the Commons? BY CAPTAIN RALPH HUNTER, APA PRESIDENT Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons. — Garrett Hardin, Tragedy of the Commons (1968) G Garrett Hardin — a noted professor, biologist and ecologist — popularized the notion of the tragedy of the commons in a 1968 N landmark essay on the inevitable depletion of limited public resources (i.e. “the commons”) by unconstrained demands. In I absence of reasonable and mutually agreed upon restraints, basic human nature will drive individuals to satisfy their own interests at the expense of the whole. In particular, when the individual benefit is focused and immediate and the obligation to replenish F what is taken is dispersed among a larger population, restraint cannot be normally expected. Hardin used the term tragedy to describe not just the inevitable outcome, but also the remorseless and unavoidable progress of destruction once a certain E tipping point had been reached. I As American Airlines struggles ...unconstrained demands on to reinvent itself, most of us R understand that the company’s the company’s limited finances net financial output becomes a will have tragic consequences.

Managed correctly, these claims can be dealt with in a fair and equitable manner. Managed poorly, unconstrained demands on the company’s limited finances will have tragic consequences. American Airlines’ tenuous recovery depends highly on the discipline of its various S stakeholders from making unsustainable claims upon the company’s financial resources.
