Pilot Assistance 55th AIR SAFETYS FORUM Welcome to ALPA’s 55th Air Safety Forum. This year’s event is a historic one for our Union as, for the first time, we bring together all of our representatives in the areas of safety, security, jumpseat, and pilot assistance. The unifying theme to represent the week is “It Takes a Pilot…” in recognition of the many ways in which our pilot representatives are leading the ongoing efforts to improve our industry and enhance our profession. ALPA’s leadership in these disciplines—in the U.S., Canada, and around the world — is due to all of the pilot representatives who bring their vast knowledge, unique flight experience, ingenuity, and shared commitment to their profession—both as airline pilots and as union advocates. Over four days, top experts—including ALPA pilots and staff, as well as representatives from our partners in government and the aviation industry—will share their experiences and examine ways to make air travel more dependable, safer, and more secure. Airline pilots, and the issues facing them, have been front and center in the eyes of the public, media, Congress, and Parliament this year. During the Air Safety Forum we will celebrate the pilots who have shown us—through their heroic actions on the line, in their full participation with government officials and industry representatives, and in their dedication to providing support and assistance to their fellow aviators— that it does take pilots to meet the challenges in the piloting profession and in airline operations that lie before us today and in the future.

  • Bankruptcy Tilts Playing Field Frank Boroch, CFA 212 272-6335 [email protected]
    Equity Research Airlines / Rated: Market Underweight September 15, 2005 Research Analyst(s): David Strine 212 272-7869 [email protected] Bankruptcy tilts playing field Frank Boroch, CFA 212 272-6335 [email protected] Key Points *** TWIN BANKRUPTCY FILINGS TILT PLAYING FIELD. NWAC and DAL filed for Chapter 11 protection yesterday, becoming the 20 and 21st airlines to do so since 2000. Now with 47% of industry capacity in bankruptcy, the playing field looks set to become even more lopsided pressuring non-bankrupt legacies to lower costs further and low cost carriers to reassess their shrinking CASM advantage. *** CAPACITY PULLBACK. Over the past 20 years, bankrupt carriers decreased capacity by 5-10% on avg in the year following their filing. If we assume DAL and NWAC shrink by 7.5% (the midpoint) in '06, our domestic industry ASM forecast goes from +2% y/y to flat, which could potentially be favorable for airline pricing (yields). *** NWAC AND DAL INTIMATE CAPACITY RESTRAINT. After their filing yesterday, NWAC's CEO indicated 4Q:05 capacity could decline 5-6% y/y, while Delta announced plans to accelerate its fleet simplification plan, removing four aircraft types by the end of 2006. *** BIGGEST BENEFICIARIES LIKELY TO BE LOW COST CARRIERS. NWAC and DAL account for roughly 26% of domestic capacity, which, if trimmed by 7.5% equates to a 2% pt reduction in industry capacity. We believe LCC-heavy routes are likely to see a disproportionate benefit from potential reductions at DAL and NWAC, with AAI, AWA, and JBLU in particular having an easier path for growth.

  • Evaluation of the Federal Air Marshal Service
    DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Offi ce of Inspector General Evaluation of the Federal Air Marshal Service Notice: The Department of Homeland Security, Office of Counsel to the Inspector General, has reviewed this report and excised information according to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. section 552, as amended. Offi ce of Inspections, Evaluations, & Special Reviews OIG-04-32August 2004 Errata Please note the heading for Appendix A should read “Disciplinary Actions February 2002 – October 2003.” In addition, the text at the bottom of page 21 should read, “These 753 actionable incidents represent disciplinary actions that were reported…between February 2002 and October 2003.” While this correction alters the period from eight months to 20 months in which the 753 disciplinary actions occurred, it does not alter the OIG’s original assertion and response to BTS. Based on the misconduct list provided in TSA’s Interim Policy on Addressing Performance and Conduct Problems, air marshals could have been dismissed in many misconduct cases between February 2002 and October 2003. Offi ce of Inspector General U.S. Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 Preface The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Offi ce of Inspector General (OIG) was established by the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296) by amendment to the Inspector General Act of 1978.

  • Air Transport
    The History of Air Transport KOSTAS IATROU Dedicated to my wife Evgenia and my sons George and Yianni Copyright © 2020: Kostas Iatrou First Edition: July 2020 Published by: Hermes – Air Transport Organisation Graphic Design – Layout: Sophia Darviris Material (either in whole or in part) from this publication may not be published, photocopied, rewritten, transferred through any electronical or other means, without prior permission by the publisher. Preface ommercial aviation recently celebrated its first centennial. Over the more than 100 years since the first Ctake off, aviation has witnessed challenges and changes that have made it a critical component of mod- ern societies. Most importantly, air transport brings humans closer together, promoting peace and harmo- ny through connectivity and social exchange. A key role for Hermes Air Transport Organisation is to contribute to the development, progress and promo- tion of air transport at the global level. This would not be possible without knowing the history and evolu- tion of the industry. Once a luxury service, affordable to only a few, aviation has evolved to become accessible to billions of peo- ple. But how did this evolution occur? This book provides an updated timeline of the key moments of air transport. It is based on the first aviation history book Hermes published in 2014 in partnership with ICAO, ACI, CANSO & IATA. I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Martin Dresner, Chair of the Hermes Report Committee, for his important role in editing the contents of the book. I would also like to thank Hermes members and partners who have helped to make Hermes a key organisa- tion in the air transport field.
