E: [email protected] www.airwis.com/pilots NGPA_Advertisement-FullPage.indd 1 7/16/15 11:59 PM Dear readers, Last month, our photo editor Melody, took a trip to Louisville, Kentucky to spend a day at UPS Airlines. There, she met future pilot Taylor Peef and Captain Gloria Hatcher and visited with Captain Larry Parker and Dan Thomas, Workforce Planning Manager. Jim Mayer, the Public Relations Manager, spent his day giving her the full tour of the UPS facility as well as providing access for her to shadow a UPS captain and first officer from the time they arrived at the facility until they took off in their aircraft. Rather amazing to see is the enormity of the UPS facility which occupies over half of the airport in Louisville, Melody reports. She was able to get a sense of just how vast their operations are as she observed areas from the sorting facility to where the fireproof containers are packed before being loaded onto the plane. Shadowing Captain Mark Reisdorfer and First Officer Jennifer Desserich gave her a great behind-the- scenes look at how their operations work. She sat in the crew room as they went over their flight plan and picked up their catering, followed them as a van drove them to the aircraft they’d be flying, and walked around the plane with Captain Mark as he did his walk-around. She observed as they loaded the containers onto the plane and continued to watch as they took off for their destination. We’re grateful that she was able to document her experiences so that she could to share in this month’s feature. We hope you’ll enjoy this rare glimpse into the UPS operation.

Kostnadseffekter som skalaøkonomi, samdriftsfordeler og tetthetsøkonomi gjennomgås før vi ser på hvordan etterspørselskarakteristika også påvirker nettverksøkonomi. Luftfartsnettverket i Norge og Skandinavia diskuteres så spesielt, der både nettverksselskapenes og lavkostselskapenes nettverk gjennomgås.

  • Poverty Pay and Food Stamps at American Airlines Survey of Passenger Service Agents at American-Owned Envoy Air Reveals Reliance on Public Assistance Programs
    Poverty Pay and Food Stamps at American Airlines Survey of passenger service agents at American-owned Envoy Air reveals reliance on public assistance programs Poverty Pay and Food Stamps at American Airlines Survey of passenger service agents at American-owned Envoy Air reveals reliance on public assistance programs Executive summary Envoy Air is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines, the largest passenger airline in the United States. Envoy employs more than 3,800 passenger service agents whose responsibilities range from guiding planes on the tarmac to de-escalating tense situations among customers. Envoy agents work at some of the nation’s biggest and busiest airports as well as smaller regional airports that connect flyers to travel destinations around the country. Wages for Envoy agents are among the lowest in the airline industry and start as low as $9.48 an hour. Many agents say they must rely on public assistance programs because of the low pay. This report explores the use of public assistance and the effects of low wages among Envoy passenger service agents, drawing on data from a survey of 900 employees across the country, as well as first-hand accounts of their experiences. The online survey was conducted by the agents’ union, the Communications Workers of America (CWA). Approximately one quarter of all Envoy agents participated. The survey’s major findings include: » Twenty-seven percent of survey participants reported relying on public assistance to meet the needs of their household » Food stamps were reported as the most commonly- used type of public assistance (20 percent of all survey participants) The Communications Workers of America (CWA) represents 700,000 » Among agents not receiving public assistance, 82 percent workers in private and public sector of respondents said they rely on help from family and employment in the United States, friends, often in the form of financial assistance, childcare Canada and Puerto Rico.

  • A Work Project, Presented As Part of Requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in Finance from the NOVA - School of Business and Economics
    A Work Project, presented as part of requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in Finance from the NOVA - School of Business and Economics US Airways: The Ugly Girl Gets Married Again Milton José Andrade Figueira, n.º 2298 A Project carried out on the Master in Finance Program, under the supervision of: Professor Paulo Soares de Pinho January 2018 Abstract Title: US Airways: The Ugly Girl Gets Married Again This case follows US Airways’ performance from inception to the potential merger with bankrupted American Airlines in 2012. Throughout the case, several events that endangered the existence of US Airways are brought into light. These events serve as basis to introduce the value of leverage and financial distress costs. Moreover, the case reflects on the decision between out-of-court restructuring and chapter 11, while assessing distressed mergers and acquisitions. Finally, the potential merger is analyzed and the proposed solution is that new equity should be split 69-31 per cent between American Airlines’ unsecured creditors and shareholders, and US Airways’ shareholders. Keywords: Costs of Financial Distress, Bankruptcy, Mergers and Acquisitions, Deal Financing 2 Nova School of Business and Economics Paulo Soares de Pinho Milton Andrade Figueira US Airways: The Ugly Girl Gets Married Again “As one of you simply put it, “Why are we the ugly girl?” The answer, of course, is we are not and there’s no better evidence of that than our recent performance.” Douglas Parker - Chief Executive Officer, US Airways On January 2012, William Douglas Parker, usually treated as Doug Parker, US Airways Inc.
