Threatened by airline employees? Have you ever been threatened to be kicked off a flight, and if so, by who, and why? I ask, as I was told by a United Airlines flight attendant that my son was to be "on the seat buckled up in a seatbelt immediately" because I was holding my son on my lap, and had been planning to during takeoff. I explained to her that my son, who had just turned 2, could be hurt during takeoff, as he was not able to be kept securely in his seatbelt. She then stated that "if I didnt have him in the seatbelt immediately, she would have the plane taken back to the gate to let us off". I then told her I would buckle my son up as well as I could, but that if my son was hurt during takeoff that it would be on the airline and on her job. I tried to bring his carseat on the plane that didnt have a sticker with the FAA approved on it. I had the owners manual for the carseat which states installation instructions for commercial aircraft, but she wasnt buying it. When I got to my destination there was a ground supervisor who claimed that they could have me arrested for interferring with a flight crew. He also claimed that he could have me put on the "Do not fly list". I explained to him the entire story. I will add that my son was crying for alot of the flight due to me trying to keep him in his seat. My son also scribbled on the wall with crayons, which the attendant told the guy that i had "let him do this". I am sure the attendant did this due to her being embarrassed by my comment about "if my son gets hurt..." So it was clearly a huge power trip for her, obviously. The ground supervisor said that he would file a report on it. I just read a story about a women being threatened by a flight attendant who said her clothes were too skimpy, which angered me. I used to work for Delta Airlines myself, which makes the situation I dealt with even more irritating, but also funny to think what my old coworkers would say...theyd laugh. vtown, this was not in front of the whole plane, it was actually a quiet conversation overheard only by the woman sitting across from me. I used to work for Delta Airlines and know the difference between pulling a power trip and abiding by FAA and airline regulations. No Dan I'm not a bearded lady :)

Flight attendant qualifications? I have an interview for united airlines in a few days..I am 23 and when I was 20 I got a DUI, after that I got in trouble for driving on a suspended license,,Other than that I have no criminal history..I know it's bad to get a DUI, I was 20 and made a mistake but I know they will do a very extensive background check so is this going to keep me from getting the job?

Is it possible for a U.S. citizen to become a flight attendant for an international airline? I was considering a job with Cathay Pacific, All Nippon Airways, or Japan Airlines. I was born in the United States and I was taught in Cantonese and Japanese. I was checking on the different international airlines websites, and a majority says that you need to be a permanent residence of that country in order to work for them.

Flight attendants can you help me? I have an interview with United Airlines in Chicago and was wondering if any of you could help me and tell me what the interview is like and what should I expect. And also, I read that flight attendants have to be height and weight proportional. My height is ideal for the job, but i am worried about my weight. I'm not very very obese, just a little more on the "big-boned" or heavy set side. will this affect me from getting the job?

Seventeen and want to become a pilot. Help? I'd prefer to be a pilot for the US Air Force, but its an officer job. Im enlisting this summer, and I doubt I could work on a piloting degree while enlisting because [to my knowledge] it would require actual flight time. Plus, most pilots are graduates of the USAF Academy. It's farrr too late for me to apply unless I plan on going after my 4 years of enlisted service. I know almost for sure that i could get a job working around planes though. Would that help with anything at all? I'm not sure if I really want to serve 4 enlisted years, go to school, then rejoin the USAF as an officer and hope that I get chosen. By the time I did that i'd be about 27 and competing with people around 23. But if my enlisted job had to do with planes, wouldnt I have more experience and a better chance? Plus an USAF brat childhood? I definitely wouldnt mind piloting for commericial airlines. I know however that this costs THOUSANDS of dollars to do. Thousands of dollars that i dont have. Im not sure if there are colleges that teach you to fly. I always thought it was more private schools that did that. But if there are do you think id be able to use my GI Bill and such? Does anyone have any experience in either of these scenarios? The scenarios being: 1] Piloted for the US Air Force, or any of military branch [preferably from the US but others are encouraged to reply!!] 2] Commercial pilot If you fall into category 1, what did you do to get selected to even become a pilot? What things would you recommend I do? If you fall into category 2, how long did it take you to actual begin flying for commercial airlines? Commercial meaning like American Airlines or United or other major human transportation corps. About how much did it cost you? For both categories, do you have any advice I should follow? Maybe some warnings? What was the screening process like? Do you know anything now that you wish you had known beforehand? Any advice from anyone is welcomed. I really think I want to be a pilot. If that fails then im going for a flight attendant. Please help.

Barely 15% of Airmen have even touched a plane. Also, im being forced to enlist due to lack of personal funds and the fact that my mom wants me out of the house. Im definitely going to study while enlisted, and hopefully get a Bach. I should go for a physics or aeronautical degree??

This is an Economy question about changes in the airline industry.? Turmoil in the Airline Industry Even before the September 11 terrorist attacks, the major airlines were flying into stiff head winds. Slim to nonexistent profits, bankruptcies and buckets of red ink, poor service, late arrivals, overexpansion, frequent air-traffic control breakdowns, some of the worst labor-management relations in business, high fuel costs, a full-blown economic downturn, and the collapse of business travel had cast this industry into one of the worst periods in aviation history. Road Warriors Get Smart For years, the major airlines had succeeded in getting business travelers (road warriors) to pay premium fares by pampering them with special business-class seats and other perks. Business travel was their lifeblood. Sales of unrestricted fares and last-minute tickets generated about two to three times as much as economy fares and contributed about 70 percent of a major airline?s revenue. But with corporate profits hitting the skids in late 2000, companies put the brakes on travel spending. The corporate exodus hit the major airlines hard. Resourceful business travelers used substitute products such as videoconferencing or other transportation modes ? even if it meant putting up with inconveniences ? to reduce travel expenses. Some turned to the Internet to find cheaper airfares. Others moved their business downstream to discount airlines such as Southwest and Jet Blue. Major airlines tried to raise round-trip leisure tickets to make up for their lost business revenues, but fierce competition from discounters prevented them from doing so. Air Travel is ?Wal-Marted? Just as Wal-Mart did in retailing, the discounters of the air such as Southwest and Jet Blue are squeezing the major airlines from all ends. Low-cost carriers now account for nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic air capacity, up from 6 percent in the early 1990?s. They can afford to sell travel tickets for less because they have many cost advantages over full-service rivals. To begin with, they have younger fleets, which require less maintenance, and younger labor forces that aren?t tied to complicated, inefficient labor contracts. Moreover, low-fare carriers typically fly one airplane model, thus minimizing maintenance, operating, and training costs. By contrast, big carriers typically fly six or seven types of aircraft. And unlike the big guys, the discount airlines don?t operate expensive hub-and-spoke systems. Caught Between a Hub and a Hard Place Using a hub-and-spoke route system, major airlines scoop up traffic from smaller cities (the spokes) and funnel it through a few gathering points (the hub). This practice allows airlines to serve small markets and offer passengers more destinations and more frequent flights. But is also presents a logistical nightmare. It forces major airlines to schedule lots of flights to arrive and depart within narrow windows of time in order to minimize passenger layover times. This means that ground crews, such as gate attendants and baggage handlers, often sit idle between waves of connecting flights. By Contrast, point-to-point carriers, such as Southwest and Jet Blue, schedule flights as if passengers are moving to their final destinations. Instead of having planes and crews sit around and wait for passengers, point-to-point carriers maintain fast-paced schedules, which means minimal downtime for aircraft and fewer personnel on the ground. Turbulent Skies for the Bid Carriers Today, one in four tickets sold is on a discount airline. As pressure from low-fare carriers mounts, major airlines are reevaluating every aspect of their operations. The major carriers are undergoing radical change just to stay in business. They are experimenting with changes in costs, capacity, pricing, and product features in ways they haven?t seriously contemplated since the industry was deregulated in 1978. They are stripping billions of dollars from their operations by revamping their hub system, cutting jobs, eliminating flights, ending food service, and removing first-class seats, and by simplifying their fleets to cut training and maintenance costs, Some are replacing agents with self-service kiosks. Others are wrangling concessions from unions for huge pay cuts to reduce labor costs ? a major differentiating factor when you consider that in 2002 a United Airlines captain earned $9,000 to $11,000 more a month than a Jet Blue captain. Still others, such as U.S. Airways and United Airlines have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to reorganize their outstanding debt and lower their operating costs. In spite of their efforts, questions loom as to whether all the major airlines can survive. Even with huge cost cuts, all airlines remain susceptible to possible terrorist attacks, economic turns, or employee unrest. As experts claim that this is just the beginning of an industry-wide shakedown. After all, no airline can fly forever losing billions of dollars. Critical Thinking Questions 1. What s 1. What supply and demand factors have changed the equilibrium point for airline tickets? 2. How has information technology affected the airline industry? 3. How are complimentary products affected by problems in the airline industry? 4.
