“This license is required to act as pilot-in-command of an airliner and reflects your skill and knowledge as a pilot. The Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) License is the pinnacle of the pilot license structure.” ("Airline Transport Pilot License."). This is basically the same as going to school for years in order to gain the doctorate. Both of my parents have flown planes in their lives. My father making a living out of flying and my mother haven taken the courses needed to get an Airline Transport License. It is a long and arduous process; it takes a lot of time and preparation in order to obtain one along with long flight hours, tests, and knowing the tools of the plane.
In order to obtain an ATP you must first meet the minimal requirements. You must go to a flight school in order to take and prepare for the aeronautical and practical tests ("Entry Requirements" p. LA/SA-I,Virgin Islands-1). North Carolina has many flight training schools. The most prominent of which is named, oddly enough, ATP in Raleigh and Charlotte NC ("North Carolina Flight Schools."). ATP requires a basic fee of $44,995 to upwards of $60,990. There is also an age limitation of twenty-three in order for one to be apart of the program ("Airline Transport Pilot License.’’) There are two programs that one can apply for in ATP as well as two sub-programs within them. The two main programs are the “Private and 85 Hours” and “From Zero Time”. Private to 85 Hours allows for a private pilot to become a commercial pilot that flies multi engine aircraft and is the standard for pilots. The sub programs for Private to 85 Hours are “The 90 day Fast Track” which costs $44,995 and allows for one to quickly get through the program, the other program is the “Sel...

False. Under typical circumstances, which is to say, if government regulators were not involved, we might expect for the industry to coalesce around one dominant competitor; however, as it is, there are anti-trust statutes preventing such a merger, and therefore it is likely there remain a few major competitors in the space who consume 80-90% of the market share with the remaining share going to a few minor competitors for whom the major players are legally required to provide network bandwidth. Also, there is some differentiation of product, e.g. CDMA vs GSM, that allows for the development of two networks within the market and increases switching costs for the customer, such that they are relatively sticky
The pros of an airline implementing a policy that bigger customers need to buy a second seat is that the weight capacity regulations will be followed to. As well as the cons of an airline implementing a policy that larger customers need to buy a second seat would result in a bigger people who travelling will not uses that airlines anymore, airlines would be glowered on by family or relatives of larger customers, airline’s policies could be vigorously monitored for discriminatory actions against overweight persons.

In today's competitive marketplace, all firms are seeking ways to improve their overall performance. One such method of improvement, recently adopted by many firms, is benchmarking. Benchmarking is a technique used to evaluate internal business processes. "In this analysis, managers determine the firm's critical processes and outputs, baseline those processes, then compare the performance of each process against a standard outside the industry" (Bounds, Yorks, Adams, & Ranney 1994). To effectively improve a business process to world-class quality, managers must find a firm that is recognized as a global leader, not just the industry standard. Successful benchmarking requires tailor-made solutions, not just blind copying of another organization. Measurement and interpretation of data collected is the key to creating business process solutions.

The main threats to the industry over the next five years are the rise in price of oil, legislation, the TSA, and labor costs. Each of these threats effect the scheduled air transportation industry not only endangers Delta Airlines but the entire industry. As the price of labor increases for ground operations and pilots this creates a burden on the industry by causing them to spend more to satisfy their labor requirements. The price of fuel increasing leads to the price of fuel to increase, which not only affects a single airline but every airline. With each time that the crude oil price rises the prices associated with the costs of refining the jet fuel as well as transporting it. These costs are distributed to each airline as they use this resource to transport passengers. As new politicians are elected to Congress and new administrators take charge of the FAA new regulations regarding this industry. These regulations affect everything from mergers to the airspace that the airlines operate in as well as what hubs and airports each airline operates out of. These factors are not issues that the industry faces, the TSA, the Transportation Security Administration, creates an unnecessary burden for the passengers attempting to travel from one location to another. The TSA inspections required before a passenger is allowed to board their respective flights allows time for each passenger to become frustrated with the amount of time they have to allot for inspection as well as the invasion of their privacy.
