Hey There, I'm Will to Bet You Love to Travel, Yes? Hate Hey there, I'm will to bet you love to travel, yes? Hate waisting time while doing it? Frustrated waiting in line or struggling with airport security? We've been there. And it stinks. Below are 9 of the most helpful tools we use at EasySentri I repeat...we actually USE them! Some are Apps, some are websites, one is a book. ALL will save you money and time. 1: Lounge Buddy Ever had a 3 hour layover between flights? 5 hour? A layover can seem like an eternity at an airport terminal or even crammed in the TGI Friday's. Wish you could have access to the club? LoungeBuddy helps with the waiting by giving you access to all Airline Terminal Clubs. It's how we get to feel like a real secret agent. A Jet Setter. Even if we smell like a baggage handler after a 15 hour flight from Singapore. No offense to our baggage handler friends!! With this FREE APP you'll be able to search for every airline's preferred flyers lounge at more than 170 airports across the globe...and pay through the App for entry into the members area. No need to be any sort of Gold or Platinum member. No need to have 1 billion miles. Just pay the entry fee within the app...and you're in like Flynn. Why would you wan to pay $49 just to get into one of these places? You ever been to an airline lounge?......they're Awesome! This is the United Lounge in London-Heathrow. Kinda nice, eh? The Benefits: Free Beer/Wine/Liquor – Free Food – Free Wifi – SHOWERS – Free Beer/Wine/Liquor – Private areas to catch up on work – Power Outlets Everywhere – Free Beer/Wine/Liquor – Comfortable Seats. You can tell what we take advantage of, huh? What can we say, we're honest. And honestly...you'll be a better traveler after being treated the right way. That enough reason for you? How much does a meal and a drink or two cost at a terminal bar or restaurant? That's easily $30 right there. And no terminal bar or restaurant looks like this: 2: Trip Case How many layovers do you have? 2- 3? Each way, and on different airlines? Always wondering if your flight is delayed or a gate has been changed? Get rid of your boarding passes and get with TripCase. Your itinerary is automatically loaded to TripCase if booked through an affiliate (they got a lot of 'em) and you're whole trip (flights – boarding gates – gate locations) will all be on your phone to easily swipe through. But that's not the best part. Choose your seats on each flight throughout TripCase's interphase. You can even get a UBER too. That's still not the best part. TripCase let you know that your flight is on time, if it's late...or if there has been a gate change. How awesome is THAT! No opening of 3 different airline apps if you are flying United to New York then British Airways to London to get on Thai Airlines bound for Bangkok. TripCase keeps it all for you. And keeps you on time and up to date. 3: Global Entry or SENTRI Like Waiting in Line? Us neither. Dislike Airport Security Screening? So do we. That's why we have Global Entry. Of course you heard...you visited us so we know:) But just to go over it briefly. Being a member of ANY of the big 3 Trusted Traveler Programs (Global Entry, SENTRI or NEXUS) you'll get access to TSA PreCheck lanes, SENTRI lanes and NEXUS lanes. You'll be granted quick access back home to the U.S. from air travel abroad with automated Customs and Immigration clearing. We have made our flights because of the last one...not having to wait while our bags our re-checked by customs is huge! Take a look at the line we didn't have to wait in (on the Right) at LAX. If you travel...you can't NOT have them. We appreciate you and would like to give you some $ showing how much. $27 dollars off our applications is how much! Get you application over with. Save some $ with the offer code below. Rest easy knowing that you'll get Global Entry, SENTRI or NEXUS or you'll get your money back. Use the CODE after you complete their Easy Application for either Global Entry, SENTRI or NEXUS. It's that simple. And it's 100% Refundable if your application is not approved. BUT HURRY!...we double checked their offer. There's no limit to how many people can use it. SO TELL YOUR FRIENDS! We did:)) 4: Lonely Planet Wait...what? A guide book? Did you just say, “I already have 5 of them in my bookshelf already. what's up with that, Jack?” Yeah...we proudly display them and other as well in our office too. But our advice....You don't have to buy the whole book! We love the books, don't get us wrong. Love holding them in our hands and thumbing through the pages with anticipation of our upcoming adventure. But they do get a tad heavy and take up space. Especially if you are going to more than one country. And we rarely use all of the book for any one country we go to. So...only pay for what areas you know you'll go. Purchase Individual Country Sections through LonelyPlanet.com Going to Spain...but only to Barcelona? No need to get the whole Spain travel guide. Simply download the Barcelona Chapter Only for $5. Print the individual chapter yourself or upload to your smartphone or tablet. Use the $25 saved for a some Tapas. 5: Check out airport security wait times Go to: http://awt.cbp.gov/ This is a simple searchable database of Airport Wait Times compiled by the U.S. CBP (Customs and Border Protection). Before you purchase you next ticket, do a simple search of similar dates in the past (up to 7 years) at more than 100 Airports across the U.S. Out spits the number of people in airport security lines (including TSA PreCheck) divided up by the Hour and even concourse at larger airports. It's amazing the difference between 0800 on a Thursday at Ohare and 1030 the same day at Ohare. A darn fine tool. 6: Check out Border Wait Times Similarly...if you are driving across the border you can check out: https://apps.cbp.gov/bwt/mobile.asp?action=n&pn=2503 This site shows the location and expected wait times of all land border crossings between the U.S. and Canada. It even includes SENTRI and Ready lanes. Need wait times when you are out and about? The next two Apps are a NECESSITY for anyone traveling across the borders by car or foot. 7 & 8: Best Time to cross the border Apps Both these Apps list border crossing wait times (between the US-Mexico & US- Canada) amongst Standard, Ready Lane, and SENTRI lanes for Mexico and NEXUS lanes for Canada. With the University of California's there is even a graphical representation of the amount of traffic per border location, time of day and day of week. You gotta love easy to read data!! Especially if it helps you save time. The CBP app is a tad newer and works great. The “Best Time To Cross The Border” offered by the University of California San Diego has a slick interphase...but has been a tad buggy lately. Download both free from your App store. And Finally... 9: Your own WiFi Hotspot anywhere Traveling with your laptop or iPad? Love researching the next location or performing Digital Nomad ventures? We do. And being connected on your larger device like your laptop, just much easier and often a necessity to get any research, writing or work done. But WiFI...where is it? But what does almost every location on earth have that you will most likely visit? A Cellular Connection. Why does this matter? How does it relate to your laptop? American's are Grossly overcharged for internet data on cellular connections. This is not the case for other countries! Our team pays upwards of $50 for about 2G of data in the states. We recently only paid 500 Sri Lanka Rupees ($4.35) for 4 Gigs of data for a month when traveling around that gorgeous island nation for 2 weeks. $50 vs $4.35.....that's crazy! The coverage was great and we were checking stuff on our phones all the time So...now what? Just click on your settings tab in your iPhone (or similar device) and look for a tab that says “Personal Hotspot” Click it – Turn it on – and Set your Wi-Fi password After that, go back to your laptop and you should be able to see your photo for as an available WiFI Network (up in the right hand corner of your screen). Connect...and you are using your Cheap As Heck cellular data to get stuff done on your laptop. NICE! Your phone will be flashing the color Blue on top when you or someone is connected..

  • An Analysis of Mcdonnell Douglas's Ethical Responsibility
    An Analysis of McDonnell Douglas’s Ethical Responsibility in the Crash of Turkish Airlines Flight 981 The Memorial of Flight 981 at Ermenonville (Johnston, 1976). Executive Summary In 1974, Turkish Airlines Flight 981 experienced a mid-flight cargo door failure which led to the first total loss of a wide-bodied aircraft in history. The aircraft was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10, and this tragedy was compounded by the fact that sufficient corrective action had not been taken by the manufacturer after precursory failures had occurred over the four previous years. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the ethical nature of McDonnell Douglas’s decisions throughout this crisis, discerning their priorities with regard to safety and financial gain, and to assess if these qualities have changed in response. The origin of this catastrophe lay in a poor handling of design and manufacturing. The cargo door’s design employed faulty philosophies, and decisions regarding its manufacture were driven by savings at the expense of safety. However, though the door’s faults were later exposed, a more serious problem involving the tail control lines in the passenger floor was continually overlooked until the crash. This was due primarily to a policy of using old design strategies which met minimum federal requirements. The company oversimplified the control lines’ failure mode when confronted with it in ground testing and, being committed to their own design, were unable to recognize the root problem. In 1972, after the commercial release of the DC-10, a mid-flight incident occurred which exhibited the exact same failure mode.

Also known as Baggage Handler, Airport Ramp Agent Luggage Handler Airline Porter Airport Operative Ground Station Attendant Work Activities As an Airport Baggage Handler, you will move all sorts of baggage, such as luggage and cargo, on and off planes. You drive vehicles that carry large amounts of baggage. You check outgoing baggage against flight lists, transport it, and load it onto the aircraft using lifting equipment. Smaller items may be loaded by hand. Incoming baggage is taken off the aircraft to the reclaim conveyor belts. It is sorted to ensure that each article is loaded onto the correct conveyor. You need to work accurately while taking care not to cause damage. You also have to work quickly as turnaround times between flights can sometimes be very short.

  • Lacosta Resort
    2007 Diamond Preferred Sponsor March 10-13, 2007 Carlsbad, California LaCosta Resort 2007 ANNUAL CONVENTION & TRADESHOW Howard Putnam, Keynote Speaker Former Airline CEO and Corporate Culture Consultant Simply put, Howard Putnam’s ultimate objective is “bottom line improvement,” believing that companies with the greatest long-term impact and success are those that put their people first. Putnam was raised on an Iowa farm and learned to fly in a pasture in his father’s J-3 Piper Cub. At age 17, he entered the airline business as a baggage handler for Capital Airlines at Chicago’s Midway Airport. Capital soon merged into United Airlines while Putnam held thirteen different positions in several cities before being named group vice president of marketing for United, the world’s largest airline in 1976. Two years later, he was recruited to become president and CEO of fledgling Southwest Airlines in Dallas. While at Southwest, Putnam and his team tripled revenues and profitability in three years, successfully guided Southwest through airline deregulation, and was the first air carrier to order the Boeing 737-300, which later became Boeing’s largest selling aircraft ever. Putnam led the visioning process at Southwest, further developing the “fun” culture and superior customer service that Southwest is still known for today. Southwest has been profitable in every quarter for over twenty-five years, a record unsurpassed by any airline. In 1981, Putnam was recruited by the board of directors of Braniff International to become CEO and save the financially failing airline. He was the first airline chief executive to successfully take a major carrier into and out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
