About the Book-- Much has changed since the first edition of this book was published in 1997, and especially subsequent to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In the first decade of the New Millennium, the airlines are in a tailspin and struggling to recover from the worst economic crisis in their history. The trauma was brought on by a series of setbacks that began with airline deregulation, followed by a rash of consumer complaints and safety concerns, constrained airport capacity resulting in inordinate traffic delays, economic recessions and spikes inoil prices, two wars in the Middle East, and topped off by acts of terrorism around the world and a system now constrained by heightened alert and enhanced security procedures. This book is a companion voulume in an Air Transport Series, comprised of Air Transportation: Foundations for the 21st Century and Airline Management: Strategies for the 21st Century. Together, these two volumes take readers through the dark ages and monumental losses suffered collectively by the airlines since deregulation, and into the possibility of an economic reformation and the return of profitability. Suggested are trends and strategies, that if followed might lead to a renaissance of consistent profitability for the airlines, stable employment for labor, and continuous, reliable and fairly priced air services for consumers. It is the purpose of this series to acquaint the reader with the principal elements of air transportation history, airline economics, business, finance, marketing, regulation, and management--to bring all the essentail elements of commercial aviation within the two-volume series. We hope that, together, the Air Transport Series will continue to be a solid reference for airline and aviation management, and fundamental texts for courses in air transportation, airline and aviation management, business, law, and economics.

The #1 Principle of Sustainable Business Success Is Simpler Than You Think  âDo the Right Thing is about how any company can stay true to its soul. Jim Parkerâs deep and abiding belief in the power of people and culture in building a business of lasting worth is evident everywhere; so too is his humility and selflessness as a leader--his stories are not about his own achievements, which are many, but those of the people he led, one of the great success stories of our time.â --Sean Moriarty, CEO, Ticketmaster  âDo the Right Thing offers insightful views into the culture, leadership, and decisions that build great companies the right way. A must read for my management team. THIS BOOK ROCKS.â --Kent Taylor, Founder and Chairman, Texas Roadhouse Restaurants  âThe book is a fun read filled with memorable stories that get at the heart of what it takes to lead in a way that simultaneously satisfies employees, customers, and shareholders. Jim Parker plays the role of eloquent detective and ferrets out the interweaving parts that distributed leadership, culture, values, and teamwork play as the underlying layers of a companyâs success. This is a book about heroes at all levels and the environment needed to create those heroes. A must-read for todayâs leaders.â --Professor Deborah Ancona, Seley Distinguished Professor of Management and Faculty Director of the MIT Leadership Center, Sloan School of Management  âYouâll laugh and cry reading Jimâs book, and probably wonât be able to put it down. It will forever change the way you view the employees in your organization.â --Beverly K. Carmichael, Member, Board of Directors, Society for Human Resource Management  People matter most. You know that. But most companies would rather slash costs, cut headcount, replace well-paid employees with lower-paid employees or outsourced workers, and reduce customer service. No wonder so many failâwhile others focused on doing the right thing remain profitable and growth oriented for decades. James F. Parker shows why âdoing the right thingâ isnât just naïve âfeel-goodism:â itâs the most powerful rule for business success. Parkerâs stories wonât just convince you: Theyâll move you. Naïve? No way. In this book, Southwest Airlinesâ former CEO proves why doing whatâs right is the #1 rule of business success. James F. Parker tells how after 9/11, Southwest made three pivotal decisions: no layoffs, no pay cuts, and no-hassle refunds for any customer wanting them. The result: Southwest remained profitable and its revenue passenger miles for 4Q01 held steady while the rest of its industry nearly collapsed...and Southwestâs market cap soon exceeded all its major competitors combined. These pivotal decisions grew naturally from Southwestâs culture of mutual respect and trust. Parker offers deeply personal insights into that culture, revealing how those same principles are used by other people and organizations, showing you that itâs really not that hard to Do The Right Thing! Why doing whatâs right is the surest way to optimize and sustain value Putting people first...honestly, for real Finding great leaders at every level of the organization Hiring for attitude, training for skills Achieving unprecedented levels of teamwork (and fun!)

For over three decades the airline industry has continued to maintain a high profile in the public mind and in public policy interest. This high profile is probably not surprising. There does seem to be something inherently newsworthy about airplanes and the people and companies that fly them. The industry was one of the first major industries in the United States to undergo deregulation, in 1978. It thereby transitioned from a closely regulated sector (the former Civil Aeronautics Board tightly controlled everyt thing from prices to routes to entry) to one that is largely market oriented. The incumbent carriers transformed themselves from the point-to-point operators that the CAB had required to the hub-and-spokes structures that took better advantage of their network characteristics. Further, they transformed their pricing from the quite simple structures that the CAB had required to the highly differentiated/segmented pricing structures (âyield managementâ) that reached an apogee in the late 1990s. Some ca arriers, like American, Delta, and United, were better at this transition; others, like Pan American, TWA, and Eastern, were not. What the incumbent carriers did not do, however, was deal with their costly wage and work rules structures, which were an enduring legacy of their regulatory period. This legacy, when combined with the high-fare end of the yield-management pricing structure, has made them vulnerable to entry by new carriers with lower cost structures.
