Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson Airport World’s Busiest Airport Full Documentary
The Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (HJAIA) is the world’s busiest airport with more than 250,000 passengers flowing through the doors daily. To operate at its’ highest potential, the some 60,000 employees must work seamlessly together. Synergy is extremely essential to manage the time sensitive nature of this industry. The video takes the view point of the ramp tower in the beginning of the film; the ramp tower is the central nerve of the airport every single movement on the ground and air is routed through this tower. This tower must ensure the safe organized movement of

Delays cause major changes in the schedule set fourth for that day. Any mechanical, food, fueling, passenger departure, passenger loading, plane loading, unloading and house cleaning needs must be met within a crucial 14 minute time frame to be considered on time within FAA regulations. If these time frames are not managed properly then the airlines begin to lose profit and they also ensue heavy fines from the federal government. These two factors are the main reasons for the emphasis on time within this industry. It is amazing just how important these time frames are for both the industry, federal government and the consumer. Their ultimate goal of daily on time performance is what motivates their employees to make this well-oiled machine continue to work. There are some very well experienced men and women that help operate these three ramp towers at the …show more content…
For issues that occur to the aircraft, there are some options that the ramp operator have to use at their discretion to keep the on time schedule. They are able to make minor maintenance and technical issues at the gate during the normal down time at the gate, they are able to utilize extra aircraft that remain at the hub for situations where the aircraft require more than just minor repair. If there are medical emergencies they have Emergency medical personnel available when the airplane arrives. They also have police and bomb squad on hand along with the TSA, to respond to any and all security needs around and on airport
Conspiracy theories accuse others of a cover up by secret planning. They may be based on a hunch or even backed by evidence. To the curious mind, they bring about unanswered questions that have attracted the attention of many people throughout history. Among some of the more popular theories are the assassination of President John F. Kennedy; the death of Princess Diana; alien encounters in Roswell, New Mexico; and the idea that Elvis may still be alive. Perhaps the most intriguing theory, because of our neighboring location, is the underground bunker and seemingly strange characteristics at the Denver airport.
Based on the data from Hospital Compare two of the measures that need some improvement are the patient experience and timely effective care, particularly the emergency department. These two measures are associated with the quality dimensions of timeliness and patient centerness. Timely and effective care can play
There is no doubt that an elaborate underground base exist below the Denver International Airport. What actually is going on down below in this base however is a mystery. When taking a closer look at this airfield it is evident that something weird is going on. “While the most extreme claim maintains that a massive underground facility exists below the airport where an alien race of reptilian humanoids feeds on missing children while awaiting the date of government-sponsored rapture” (Maher 4). This extreme claim just shows what the human mind can conceive when coincidence and the unknown meet. The research is done, is there a conspiracy or is it just being blown out of proportion.
Time – there is only a little amount of time available to respond to many different priorities, some services may have waiting lists, this will cause the service users to not have enough time with the professionals and may have to wait for their
Since this is the Middle Realm problem and it is a short term problem people should transition themselves to non-anger. British Airways “canceled all flights from Heathrow and Gatwick Saturday after the IT outage” (article). This IT problem made many travelers without any opportunity to do anything else. Passengers had to wait long lines to check, rebook a flight and reclaim lost luggage. This IT problem created a lot of people at the airport and to reduce that the people were not let into the terminal. Melanie Ware said that “Everyone is upset. There are people in tears” (article). Nussbaum points that this is unimportant and it is an only temporary problem. In addition, after some time people will forget that they were waiting and it loses its importance. If it will lose its importance in the future why to pay attention to it now. Which leads that the anger is not effective because British Airways will not change anything within a short period of time. Even though airplane outrage does not happen often when it happens people are affected and they face anger problem at the plane
...es too much room for error. Giving yourself enough time prior to your appointed formation also deters you from making up an excuse for being late. A squad cannot function to its full potential if a soldier is late. It reflects onto your superiors and your unit presentation as a whole. Another reason why showing up at least thirty minutes prior is beneficial, is for you to be in a relaxed state of mind. You do not want to be waking up stressed because you were in a rush, it never reflects well on you and yet again, leaves too much space for error. Lastly, arriving thirty minutes prior is for you to make sure you are well equipped to be prepared for the day. Always arrive early so you will have moments to relax, plan your agenda, connect with peers, get informed and organized for daily tasks.
This is very important, not only on the job but in your personal life as well. When your late to work it may give off the impression that you do not like working and being there is just a waste of time. Arriving to work early shows dependability and that you care about your job. From my own experience, I do not like getting up early in the mornings. I set two to three alarms that help me wake up to get ready for work. If I know that I have to be to work at 8:00am. I set my alarm clock for 5:00am. This allows me enough time to wake up, groom, dress, have breakfast and travel to work. My morning routine allows me to get to work a half hour early and also allows me to gather materials or hear briefings in regards to projects we that will be carried out for that day or that week. Being on time is important with everything you do.
Early school start times affect the mental and physical health of students. If schools start later, students would be more ready to learn. With the early start times, students are not getting enough sleep and that is affecting their performance in earlier classes. They come to these classes like zombies and do not really take in what they are hearing.

As our plane landed at LaGuardia airport in New York City and we walked out into the terminal through the long dark and narrow jet way, the first glances made all of us aware we were not at home. I was on a school trip along with 29 other classmates and six chaperones, 36 people who were used to the calmness of the peaceful town in St. Michael, MN. The facility was outrageously filthy with trash barrels completely overflowing and the floor looked as if it had not been mopped for weeks. The endless amount of loud people scattered everywhere throughout the airport made it difficult to walk without running into the person in front or beside you.
The whir of wheels on marble and concrete mixed with the mechanical, yet pleasant, voice on the public address system calling for someone to go to the nearest courtesy phone, or announcing that flight 896 is now boarding at gate 11.
As the fixed-based operator of your airport, I am writing to encourage you to take the time to consider some recommendations for developing and improving on the security measures that are currently in place at your facility. As you are probably aware, there is no way to prescribe a reasonable one-size-fits-all security plan for every general aviation airport (Transportation Security Authority, 2004. p.2). A thorough review of the services and conditions found at your airport, however, has made possible a list of logical suggestions that could prove to be beneficial to its overall level of security.
