"To continue to bring humanity back to air travel." This is the promise JetBlue Airways Corporation has made to its shareholders, customers, and "crew members" in order to build a strong, solid and rapidly growing company. JetBlue uses two significant tools that drive its success: low fares and superb customer service. This growing discount airline works to keep its costs down and implies this goal by offering one-class service and eliminating airport lounges and full meal services. JetBlue relies completely on technology with an operation strategy of choosing less crowded airports located near large cities to keep its turnaround down. In addition, JetBlue offers leather seats, LiveTV (a satellite service with programming provided by DirectTV), and began adding XM Satellite Radio to its fleet in 2005 to stress customer value.

Stanley Milgram’s experiments on obedience are the focus of Theodore Dalrymple and Ian Parker. Theodore Dalrymple is a British physician that composed his views of the Milgram experiment with “Just Do What the Pilot Tells You” in the New Statesman in July 1999 (254). He distinguishes between blind obedience and blind disobedience stating that an extreme of either is not good, and that a healthy balance between the two is needed. On the other hand, Ian Parker is a British writer who wrote “Obedience” for an issue of Granta in the fall of 2000. He discusses the location of the experiment as a major factor and how the experiment progresses to prevent more outcomes. Dalrymple uses real-life events to convey his argument while Parker exemplifies logic from professors to state his point.
Since the wright brothers first plane to the B-52 long ranger bomber aircraft have changed the world and are still going to do so. With the emergence of planes as are preferred form of travel many things have happened. One of the most important things is the ease of foreign uncertainty and war.

“Sure we will take three bags of peanuts” said my mom to the nice flight attendant. My family and I were on a tiny airplane when I was just a baby. As I have been told, I have always been very good on long trips. However something about this tiny plane did not settle well with me and a series of events happened. My family and I were flying to Yellowstone National Park for a family reunion. We were flying from New York City to Jackson Hole WY. As I said this was a tiny, boarder line old plane, so that meant that if I were to cry the whole plane could hear. Now this was not my first plane ride as a baby, however this was especially an unforgettable flight. As you can imagine that was a long flight for a baby. During the decent down to Jackson

They allow us to do something we once thought was impossible, and was just a hopeless dream that would be left to birds and fairytales.
