United Airlines response to Dave Carroll’s video was timely, however, the way they responded to the situation was not. I believe that the video mentioned on Twitter should not have been the only trigger to instigate United to take action. It made United realize that this case was going to become larger than a regular claim that was not to be fulfilled. United’s response to the video was pleasant and they helped the cause when stating that they would use the video for training in the future. They also took a good marketing stance by using the phrase, “This struck a chord with us and we’ve contacted him directly to make it right”. The phrase was a creative play on words for this situation and the response was good for the people contacting United. However, almost all United’s responses were completed through Twitter. I don’t believe this was the right forum to address the public. They did make the right step by contacting Dave Carroll directly to …show more content…
The timeliness for this incident was lacking the most. As I said previously, they should have addressed Carroll’s problem either in Chicago or Halifax and apologize for the mistake that they made. When problems like this come up in the future, United should have a claims team or person at every airport able to quickly attend to the problem. If having the claims team or person is cost prohibitive, then on site employees need to be trained to handle the situation. The next improvement that needs to be made is to the customer service department. No one likes to be ping ponged around between service agents without their needs being addressed time after time. Another solution if United cannot add a claims team in the airport, their customer service/claims department should be vastly improved. Training the department to handle these situations will be key not only for customers but for the company’s
Nonetheless, after the court trial, it was decided that Southwest Airline’s marketing policy that involved hiring of attractive female applicants only was a violation of Title VII under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition to the hiring of attractive female flight attendants, the airline company had also made it a requirement that hired applicants should only be of a maximum height of 5 feet 9 inches. Notwithstanding, the court ruled that, the restriction was a barrier to hiring of men applicants and that it was violation of the same act. As a result, the airline company set aside a $1 million fund for penalties alone after the court ordered the company to pay the plaintiffs $275,000 (Justia,

On 09-27-2016 at approximately 1310 hours, I, Security Offcier James Argyro A-10280, was dispatched to the security medical station for a employee medical. Upon arrival I made contact with Lisa Bowen A-5954, who stated that she tripped over a bucket behind the bar and landed on her left knee. Bowen stated that she did not report it because it did not hurt and she was able to get right back up. F&B Supervisor Allison Williams A-2318 stated that when she heard about the fall she made Bowen report it to security. Bowen stated that she was not in any pain at this time and did not wish to speak to Emergency Medical services. Bowen was released to her supervisor and given a medical packet. Security Shift supervisor Neil Grant A 3079 was notified.
I feel the captain and the co-pilot should have had an open line of communication. Should this
Rodney Rocha is a NASA engineer and co-chair of Debris Assessment Team (DTS). When possibility of wing damage appeared he requested an additional imagery to obtain more information in order to evaluate the damage. This demonstrates that he actually tried to resolve the issue. However, due to absence of clear organizational responsibilities in NASA those images were never received. Since foam issue was there for years and risk for the flights was estimated as low management decided not to proceed with this request. After learning of management decision Rocha wrote an e-mail there he stated that foam damage could carry grave hazard and have to be addressed. At the same time this e-mail was not send to the management team. Organizational culture at NASA could be described as highly bureaucratic with operations under standard procedures only. Low-end employees like Rocha are afraid to bring any safety-related issues to the management due to delay of the mission. They can be punished for bringing “bad news”. This type of relationship makes it impossible for two-way communication between engineers and managers, which are crucial for decision-making in complex env...
United’s Marketing Determining the marketing strategy for a massive airline, like United Airlines, is fairly difficult and extremely complex. Why? Because each city, season, route, and time of day will have some minor to major difference in how the airline presents itself. The difficulty in marketing and advertising for an airline is harder than other industries because each airline is selling thousands of different products. At first glance, United is selling flights, and that seems to encompass one product.
United Airlines is one of the largest airlines in the United States and worldwide. Also, it is ranked as the oldest commercial airline that was founded by Walter Varney. United Airlines started as an Air Mail Service and then extended its services to be an Air Carrier. In 1927, William Boeing started his own airline, Boeing Air Transport, and started buying any other air mail companies, which included the Varney’s Air Mail Company. After a while, Boeing started manufacturing aircraft and parts, which allowed him to extend his company to a bigger organization. Also, within Boeing’s company, he bought several airports to expand his organization. In 1929, Boeing’s company has changed its name to be United Aircraft and Transport Corp. (UATC).
YouTube apologized for the video which was #1 trending saying that it was misclassified due to the news source footage. They removed the video because it violated their policies and YouTube said they were working to improve their systems.

After watching the Joe Clark video I had mixed feelings when thinking about Clark’s behavior from a staff member’s perspective. As a gut reaction I feel that my initial feelings would lean toward more the negative aspects of Clark’s approach but I do think that upon reflecting on what was said I would also start to notice the positives of his message. As a staff member witnessing Clark’s first staff meeting and initial greeting I would have been taken aback by his aggressive and rash approach.
Flow of the information should have been better than this, top and bottom management didn’t work together properly resulting in failure.
June 1st, 1999, captain Richard Buschmann and first officer Michael Origel were about to embark on their third and final leg of the day, after already working for ten hours on two other trip legs. They had arrived at Dallas/Fort Worth Texas around 20:10 CST and were eager to proceed on their final trip of the day to Little Rock, Arkansas. Poor weather in the region prevented their assigned aircraft from arriving on time, closely pushing them ever closer to their fourteen hour duty limits for the day. The first officer realizing their situation contacted the dispatchers to notify them they would need to find a substitute aircraft or the flight would need to be cancelled. Both pilots were well aware of the impending storms in the area, including around the destination airport, but they decided that they should be able to beat the storms there. This was one of the first signs of suffering from get-there-itis, along side of several hazardous attitudes. Once an aircraft was substituted, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-82, the pilots were able to depart at 22:40, 2 hours and 12 minutes after their scheduled departure time, 12 hours into their 14 hour duty day.
