Customer expectation is defined as the perceived-value customers seek from the purchase of a good or service. Service providers must recognize customers’ needs in order to fulfill expectations to achieve high customer satisfaction during the service experience. Managing customer expectations is an important subject to enable customer satisfaction. There are a few expectations a customer has, including: accessibility to information, alternative options, communication and consultations by service providers, which will result in a good customer-service provider relationship. But non of these expectations were met by the airline in 1995, thus resulting in less than satisfying customer experience. From the case study we can assume Professor McPherson had several expectations regarding the level of service from the airline. One of his expectations would have been that the airline knew of his connecting flights. This information would include his flight number, the departure time, terminal from where he would have departed etc. That the airline had access to his travelling information on their computers and or

The terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 have forever changed how commercial airlines operate. Even with today’s security measures in place, terrorism is once again on the rise. In the aviation community, the airlines are the ones left to feel the negative effects of these terroristic attacks. Logan (n.d.) explains that airlines had a 30 percent loss in demand with the initial shock of the attack of 9/11 (para. 2).
Of Mice and Men is a novella written by American author John Steinbeck. The story occurs sometime in the 1930’s around a ranch in Soledad, California. Lennie Small, a powerful laborer with the mind of a child, and George Milton, a small quick-witted man, find much needed employment on a ranch. After Lennie unintentionally kills the ranch owner’s daughter-in-law, George is forced to murder Lennie for his actions before he can be captured by a lynch mob. George’s actions are justified for three specific reasons: a concern for Lennie’s well-being, the betterment of society, and a feeling of responsibility for Lennie’s actions.

ENGLISH ANALYTICAL WRITING Prince Henry V: The Speech That Combined The Nation Prompt : How does Henry V demonstrate his ability to make all his men feel valued and equal---even if they are clearly of varying status? During a time period where Kings were thought to have been hand chosen by God himself, and could single- handedly make or break a country. One man dared to break the boundaries even insinuating that he himself was on equal standing with his people. Nowadays this may not seem like such a worthy topic seeing as how our entire governmental system is based on the ideal that we are all in fact equal and no one deserves more power than any other.
