inverse relationship between fuel prices and airline stock prices has been demonstrated. Moreover, the rising fuel prices have led to increase in the air fares. 4. Declining yields: LCCs and other entrants together now command a market share of around 46%. Legacy carriers are being forced to match LCC fares, during a time of escalating costs. Increasing growth prospects have attracted & are likely to attract more players, which will lead to more competition. All this has resulted in…

Just because a pilot is legally current to fly an airplane does not necessarily mean that they are proficient in operating it. Proficiency is maintained through practice and training. The same holds true with regards to maintaining proficiency in CRM skills. The concept of proficiency is fully understood by the FAA and commercial air carriers; therefore, the Federal Aviation Administration introduced a major change in the training and qualification of flight crews in 1990 with the…
