  • A Case Analysis of the Jetblue Airways Valentine’S Day 2007 Crisis
    REGAINING ALTITUDE: A CASE ANALYSIS OF THE JETBLUE AIRWAYS VALENTINE’S DAY 2007 CRISIS Gregory G. Efthimiou A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Mass Communication in The School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Elizabeth Dougall Janas Sinclair Richard Blackburn i © 2008 Gregory G. Efthimiou ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT GREGORY EFTHIMIOU: Regaining Altitude: A Case Analysis of the JetBlue Airways Valentine’s Day 2007 Crisis (Under the direction of Elizabeth Dougall, Janas Sinclair, Richard Blackburn) Valentine’s Day 2007 changed the course of history for JetBlue Airways. The upstart low-fare airline – which had enjoyed unprecedented acclaim from customers and industry observers since its launch in 2000 – suddenly found itself in the midst of a major operational catastrophe. A winter storm that enveloped the New York metropolitan region and JetBlue’s hub at John F. Kennedy International Airport left hundreds of the company’s passengers stranded aboard planes on the tarmac, some for as many as ten hours. Hundreds more waited in vain in the terminal for flights that the airline would eventually cancel. The flight disruptions at JFK plunged JetBlue’s entire operation into chaos, forcing the carrier to cancel more than one thousand flights over a six day period. This thesis project describes the corporate crisis communication measures implemented by JetBlue Airways to repair its reputation. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author would like to extend his heartfelt gratitude to the members of his thesis project committee for their involvement and encouragement.

  • Research Studies Series a History of the Civil Reserve
    RESEARCH STUDIES SERIES A HISTORY OF THE CIVIL RESERVE AIR FLEET By Theodore Joseph Crackel Air Force History & Museums Program Washington, D.C., 1998 ii PREFACE This is the second in a series of research studies—historical works that were not published for various reasons. Yet, the material contained therein was deemed to be of enduring value to Air Force members and scholars. These works were minimally edited and printed in a limited edition to reach a small audience that may find them useful. We invite readers to provide feedback to the Air Force History and Museums Program. Dr. Theodore Joseph Crackel, completed this history in 1993, under contract to the Military Airlift Command History Office. Contract management was under the purview of the Center for Air Force History (now the Air Force History Support Office). MAC historian Dr. John Leland researched and wrote Chapter IX, "CRAF in Operation Desert Shield." Rooted in the late 1930s, the CRAF story revolved about two points: the military requirements and the economics of civil air transportation. Subsequently, the CRAF concept crept along for more than fifty years with little to show for the effort, except for a series of agreements and planning documents. The tortured route of defining and redefining of the concept forms the nucleus of the this history. Unremarkable as it appears, the process of coordination with other governmental agencies, the Congress, aviation organizations, and individual airlines was both necessary and unavoidable; there are lessons to be learned from this experience. Although this story appears terribly short on action, it is worth studying to understand how, when, and why the concept failed and finally succeeded.

  • 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.

Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-236341 August 29,lQQO The Honorable John C. Danforth Ranking Minority Member, Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate The Honorable Jack Brooks Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives In response your requests, this report provides information on how various airline industry operating and marketing practices limit entry into the deregulated airline industry and how they affect competition in that industry. Specifically, we identified two major types of . barriers. The first type is created by the unavailability of the airport facilities and operating rights an airline must have in order to begin or expand service at an airport. The second type is created by airline marketing practices that have come into widespread use since deregulation. As agreed with your offices, unless you publicly announce its contents earlier, we plan no further distribution of this report until 30 days from the date of this letter. At that time, we will send copies to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation; the Administrator, Federal Aviation Administration; and interested congressional committees. We will also make copies available to others upon request. If you have any questions about this report, please contact me at (202) 276-1000.

American hereby replies to the Answer of JetBlue Airways Corporation (“JetBlue Answer”) of September 17, 2015.1 When the rhetoric and bravado are taken out of the JetBlue Answer, it is clear that JetBlue has missed the point. The question before FAA is: does the public interest demand that FAA preserve Lansing, Michigan’s Capital Region International Airport (“LAN”) and Mid-Michigan’s air service to Washington, D.C.? The answer to that question is an unqualified YES!2 As LAN and the Mid-Michigan region have made clear, the best result is the immediate grant of an exemption to American.3 Indeed, the LAN community has amply demonstrated its enthusiasm for American service, by providing: 1 American requests leave from FAA and the Department of Transportation (“Department” or “DOT”) to file this Reply after the seven business day time limit for replies contained in 14 CFR §§ 302.308 and 302.8.
