[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the crash of Flight 801 on Guam in 1997.

Human Factors in Aviation Maintenance and Inspection
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page contention that aviation maintenance and inspection, like any activity which involves humans, is subject to the limitations of human performance, performance which often as not is replete with errors. Errors, in fact, occur on an everyday basis in aviation. Some errors are minor but others can have disastrous consequences. Errors may be either direct or indirect but they can be minimized by the same analyses as that which is applicable to other human factor-sensitive fields as well. We often look to psychology, rather than solely to aviation, to help us identify the means to improvement in human error. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Implications of Airline Mechanics’ Involvement with Labor Unions
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper assessing whether airline mechanics are pricing themselves beyond the ability of airlines to pay them. Labor unions typically are in the business of preserving themselves and building membership so that they can increase revenues that come in the form of member dues. It is to their benefit to increase the total number of mechanics’ jobs available, hence the existence of US-based outsourcing companies is beneficial to the unions. Airline mechanics likely are pricing themselves out of direct-employ airline jobs. They can go to work for contractors, at lower hourly rates and with fewer – if any – benefits. The choice appears to be theirs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
