From the business perspective the Swissair case is a very interesting one. The evolution and development of the several different strategies as well as their implementation leaves many outstanding issues. The strategies should have conformed to the corresponding environment. This leads to the questions how the environment had changed over the years and how Swissair could adapt itself in order to stay on track with the current trends and new situations.

for fuel. This was even more surprising since this airline was in one of the richest countries in the world, Switzerland. Swissair managed to establish itself as a quality airline throughout its home country of Switzerland and in Europe. Swiss Air celebrated its 70th birthday in March that year with no indications of what would happen in early October of 2001. Swissair was originated in 1931 from shareholders of two main Swiss airlines. The combination of these shareholders made the new company
On the evening of January 10th, 2000, Crossair (Crossair at the time before the transition to Swissair) Flight 498, a two-turboprop Saab 340B aircraft, took off from Zurich, Switzerland enroute to Dresden, Germany carrying seven passengers and three crew members. Taxi, takeoff and climb went normally until roughly two minutes into the flight ATC began to notice the aircraft was losing altitude and banking right when the aircraft was directed by ATC to turn left.

Paterniti’s tone throughout the story seemed very soft and calm because he is writing about a delicate situation that occurred in history. He is extremely detailed and figurative with his use of language. What made Paterniti stand out from the other writers that we have previously read, is his opening paragraph. I read the opening of the story at least three times before I understood that he was describing the place where the crash would occur. If I had to base the story off the opening, a plane
David Lodge’s novel Small World is a campus novel. Campus novels are located in the university environment, and usually the main characters are university teachers and students, generally “university people”. Also the themes of campus novels are clearly linked to university life, studying, and the hierarchy in the university. Campus novels are usually also very comic and there is a lot of satire in the stories. Very often the fact that the characters are academic people is highlighted in campus novels
Summary: Nicknamed as "The Raging Bull", Jake LaMotta was a rough fighter who, not being a hard puncher would savagely beat his opponents in the ring. A movie has been produced based on his: memoir, Raging Bull: My Story. This movie received critical acclamation for both director Martin Scorsese and actor Robert De Niro. He used to stalk, brawl inside the ring and had developed a reputation of being “bully”. LaMotta was ready to absorb unimaginable amounts of punches over the course of his career
Problem statement One of the most scrutinized pieces of evidence gathered from an aircraft accident is the collection of information contained in the Cockpit Voice Recorder and Flight Data Recorder. CVRs and FDRs paint an often haunting, but frequently useful picture of what occurred during the last minutes of an accident flight. This is not to say, however, that the recorders are always conclusive, or even useful. There are a handful of cases where the CVR and FDR tapes have broken, failed to record
In a perfect world, violence, plane crashes floods and other disasters would not occur. Disease and illness would be non-existent. Emergency medical services would not have a basis for fruition. Unfortunately, the world is not perfect place. EMT's and other EMS workers are vital to all societies globally. According to the American College of Emergency Physicians, the definition of an emergency services is, " Emergency services are those health care services provided to evaluate and treat medical
Rising tensions in the Middle East lead to perhaps the most infamous event during President Jimmy Carter’s administration: the Iran Hostage Crisis. During November of 1979, Iranian university students with growing anti-United States sentiment stormed the United States embassy in Tehran, capturing and holding 60 Americans hostage for 444 days. Though Carter issued a risky military operation with intent to send an elite rescue team into the compound in April of 1980 (often referred to as Operation
Introduction Hijacking a plane provides criminals with a perfect opportunity to advance their interests using passengers in the hijacked aircraft as their bargaining chips. Indeed, in the past, criminal elements have successfully secured the release of prisoners using this very approach. However, isolated instances of hijackings in the recent past clearly indicate that aircraft hijackers are becoming more daring, brazen, and creative. This text concerns itself with the history of airline hijackings

The Platue Depopulated mountain regions Two thirds of the country is covered by mountains, ice, rocks, forests and alpine meadows. 11 per cent of the population live in the mountain regions.

The Jet Engine and Leisure Air Travel Air transport for European tourists got off to a shaky start in the late 1920s.But it was to be thirty years before leisure air travel was to appeal to anyone but the rich and adventurous. High cost, fear of flying and the absence of toilets in early airliners (an unfortunate combination) were the main deterrents; the unpressurized aircraft of the inter-war years were noisy, slow and not especially comfortable despite the efforts of some airlines to make aircraft
