    For Bangladesh, the readymade garment export industry has been the proverbial goose that lays the golden eggs for over fifteen years now. The sector now dominates the modern economy in export earnings, secondary impact and employment generated. The events in 1998 serve to highlight the vulnerability of this industry to both internal and external shocks on the demand and supply side. Given the dominance of the sector in the overall modern economy of Bangladesh, this vulnerability should be a matter of some concern to the policymakers in Bangladesh. Although in gross terms the sector’s contributions to the country’s export earnings is around 74 percent, in net terms the share would be much less partially because the backward linkages in textile have been slow to develop. The dependence on a single sector, no matter how resilient or sturdy that sector is, is a matter of policy concern. We believe the policymakers in Bangladesh should work to reduce this dependence by moving quickly to develop the other export industries using the lessons learned from the success of apparel exports. Support for the apparel sector should not be reduced. In fact, another way to reduce the vulnerability is to diversify the product and the market mix. It is heartening to observe that the knit products are rapidly gaining share in overall garment exports as these products are sold in quota-free markets and reflect the strength of Bangladeshi producers in the fully competitive global apparel markets…

    One of the requirements for this course is an Aircraft Performance Research Project that entails planning a flight from Denver International Airport (KDEN) to Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD) for a given aircraft, weather conditions, and assumptions. The objective is to apply what has been learned throughout this course. Drawing on aeronautics theory and using the performance charts and equations presented in the course, each student is to answer a sequence of questions that step through the planning process. Remember, as with all of the exercises, all work (calculations) must be shown as much as possible. After all of the questions have been answered, the next task is to create a two-dimensional representation of the flight path showing the airspeeds, distance, fuel burned, and fuel remaining for the Takeoff, Climb, Cruise, Descent, and Approach phases of the flight.…

    Airline Reservation System contains the details about flight schedules and its fare tariffs, passenger reservations and ticket records. An airline’s inventory contains all flights with their available seats.

Inventory data is imported and maintained through a Schedule Distribution System over standardized interfaces. One of the core functions of the inventory management of airline reservations is the inventory control. Inventory control steers how many seats are available for the different…

    In Kent Nelson 's Irregular Flight, he introduces multiple meanings to “irregular flight.” Literally, when the story refers to irregular flight, it is talking about how a Cook 's Petrel bird flies an irregular flight pattern. In actual context, he also implies an irregular pattern between the two individuals that are searching for this bird, however, it not clearly stated and that is one mistake of a couple that this author makes. Nelson uses many standard writing techniques that try to grab the attention of the reader, however, they create a sense of confusion and do not necessarily compliment the story as whole in the end.…
