Over 40 lymph nodes and various other structures were removed from my neck in an attempt to remove any residual tumor. Going in for my second surgery I knew what to expect. The cold, depressing air of the hospital, and the stink of rubbing alcohol and cleaning fluid made me fearful. Before walking into the hospital I seriously considered just running away. I was tired and still in pain, but I was willing to run, to make a mad dash. Instead of…

collectively a firm's business, organizational, and IS strategy must be synchronized to carry out their business objectives (2013, p.24). In the case of Air Canada they took several unique approaches to align their strategy such as outsourcing, introducing innovative technology, organizational restructuring, and effective resource management.

fatal and routine. According to Van der Linden (2015), the Air Mail Act of 1925 ignited the commercial airline industry, giving birth to such commercial passenger service companies as Pan American Airways, Ford Air Transport Service, and Western Air Express. In the 1930s, Eastern, United, American, and Transcontinental and Western Air (TWA) became the main domestic airlines dominating commercial air travel (Van der Linden, 2015). Then, as air travel started to escalate, airport operators began…

In economics, demand is the quantity of a product or service that customers are willing and able to pay. Demand measures how pricing may be set. Supply, on the other hand, is the quantity of a product or service that is offered to the market by a manufacturer or service provider. The idea behind equal prices for unequal distance can make economic sense depending on the supply and demand of the trips. Even though the trip from Denver to Florida is much longer then the trip from Casper to Denver…

managed to do a lot of research on Delta Airlines who is my competitor of choice. From my research, I have learned that Delta is a very different company compared to Southwest. Delta has a hub/spoke strategy that services customers on longer flights such as oversea, whereas Southwest focuses more on domestic non-stop shorter flights. Southwest is also a low cost no frills carrier and Delta is pricier and offers more perks. Southwest focuses on leisure travel while Delta caters to business…

In the past, I have taken several different airlines. Some good, some bad, however the majority of my experience has been average. In early 2017, United Airlines got caught having police officers physically forcing a man off of a flight. With more and more details being discovered, the story unfolded of what happened on that plane. Apparently, United had overbooked the flight, promising one of their “higher-ups” a seat on this particular flight. After having asked the passengers to volunteer to…

Historical Fiction: 9/11 “Hello?” I answered as I flipped my phone open, pulled the antenna out and held it up to my ear. “Mom?” I responded again because nobody answered the phone the first time. “Oh, hey! Sorry I didn’t realize that you picked up. Do you have enough money for your trip tomorrow and do you still have your flight ticket?” my mom replied hastily, already assuming that I lost my ticket. “Yes mom, I have it. I’m headed to Logan Airport in Boston, MA to fly all the way to Los…

There are nearly 1700 airlines operating around the Globe, from the small regional carriers to the international fleets, all competing for ticket sales with a myriad of marketing methods (airlineupdate, 2017).

But not all airlines have the capitol or the need to run and maintain a complex data analytics department. In this paper, we will look at two…
