    Nationair DC-8 Flight 2120 took the lives of 247 passengers and 14 crew members; 261 in all; during takeoff on July 11, 1991. The jet was owned by Canadian airline Nolisair, and was being operated by a Nigerian company to transport Nigerian pilgrims in and out of Mecca. The DC- 8 caught fire during take-off from Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Pilots noticed problems during early stages of take-off and only made it 671 meters in elevation before attempting to turn around for a emergency landing. It was too late; the under inflated tires had overheated began to catch fire. The fire grew and blew out the hydraulics which made the emergency landing impossible. This was the worst wreck a DC-8 had ever experienced and has held the record for many years following. The NTSB concluded that the fire could have been handled by leaving the landing gear extended and away from the plane. Although the pilots failed to make the right decision, and added just one more human error to the equation, it was the obvious neglect by the maintenance team that caused this horrific accident. There are many human factors which played a vital role in the crash. The maintenance team failed to inflate the #2 and #4 main gear tires after recognizing the pressure during the pre-flight. An attempt to inflate the tires failed because there was no nitrogen available at the location. Further investigation shows later that the maintenance team recognized and had written up the tires during a previous "A" inspection but was signed off and overlooked more than twice before the incident.…

    The Macquarie dictionary defines ‘advantage’ as: “any state, circumstance, opportunity, or means specially favorable to success, interest, or any desired end”, and also defines ‘competition’: “the rivalry between two or more business enterprises to secure the patronage of prospective buyers.” (Macquarie, 2011) From these definitions, one can infer that a company’s competitive advantages are means of setting itself apart from its competitors to gain acceptance and satisfaction from its customers. In other words, how are a company’s services and products superior to what the competition has to offer that will attract customers? Leisure travellers, who constitute two thirds of most airline markets chose flights based on price, therefore are very fickle (Lawton 2002, p.36-37). This shows the importance for airlines to keep costs down and to innovate to set themselves apart. Domestic air travel in Australia has proven to be an indispensible tool for businessmen and holidaymakers across the country. Until the entrance of Virgin Blue in the Australian airline market, the duopoly between Ansett and Qantas kept airfare prices high. This essay will discuss Virgin Blue’s many positive attributes that provide a competitive advantage over its main competitors, Qantas, Jetstar and Tiger Airways: Affordable travel, maintaining a high level of customer service satisfaction through its front-line employees, its reputation and the peculiar company culture often associated with Virgin brands.…

    Southwest makes a deliberate and a conscious effort to hire people who are good at working in a team. The organization then works hard at enhancing those team building skills by giving them training for relational competence[1]. Unlike companies who hire elite talent or poach them from competitors, Southwest believes in hiring new recruits and training them to become future leaders of their organization. The most important aspect they look for in an employee is whether he would be able to integrate smoothly with the other members of his team. There is a deliberate attempt to hire people with the right attitude and train them to lead the company in future.…
