When both an industry's workers and its customers report high and rising frustration with the way they are being treated, something is fundamentally wrong. In response to these conditions, many of the world's airlines have made ever-deeper cuts in services and their workforces. Is it too much to expect airlines, or any other enterprise, to provide a fair return to investors, high-quality reliable service to their customers, and good jobs for their employees? Measured against these three expectations, the airline industry is failing. In the first five years of the twenty-first century alone, U.S. airlines lost a total of $30 billion while shedding 100,000 jobs, forcing the remaining workers to give up over $15 billion in wages and benefits. Combined with plummeting employee morale, shortages of air traffic controllers, and increased congestion and flight delays, a total collapse of the industry may be coming. Is this state of affairs inevitable? Or is it possible to design a more sustainable, less volatile industry that better balances the objectives of customers, investors, employees, and the wider society? Does deregulation imply total abrogation of government's responsibility to oversee an industry showing the clear signs of deterioration and increasing risk of a pending crisis? Greg J. Bamber, Jody Hoffer Gittell, Thomas A. Kochan, and Andrew von Nordenflycht explore such questions in a well-informed and engaging way, using a mix of quantitative evidence and qualitative studies of airlines from North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. Up in the Air provides clear and realistic strategies for achieving a better, more equitable balance among the interests of customers, employees, and shareholders. Specifically, the authors recommend that firms learn from the innovations of companies like Southwest and Continental Airlines in order to build a positive workplace culture that fosters coordination and commitment to high-quality service, labor relations policies that avoid long drawn-out conflicts in negotiating new agreements, and business strategies that can sustain investor, employee, and customer support through the ups and downs of business cycles.

Research Paper (undergraduate) in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Employee Motivation, , language: English, abstract: This study on employee performance appraisal in airlines attempts to understand the changes that can be brought about in the evaluation system and emphasizes various evaluation criteria. In the process, while some airlines are having huge success other airlines are failing to take advantage of the competition; there is a dearth in understanding the factors that affect employee performance in aviation sector. This research seeks to bridge the gap; as there is a shortage of research from the Indian context. Therefore, the study of employee performance appraisal in aviation services has become an important research topic, especially in value-added airlines and business presses. Rapid changes are taking place in the aviation sector, especially, in the airlines, and the opening up of liberalization and the economy have intensified competition. Every player wants a large market share. It takes some time to integrate and understand from an employee’s perspective; to ensure that they are productive and enhance their future potential as they progress in their careers, especially in airline services when gaining consistent competitive advantage. Knowledge in this area can help HR managers to understand issues such as employee engagement, training development, personal characteristics, performance factors and factors affecting employee performance. The researcher chose a qualitative research method to get better understanding of the phenomenon. It covers a wide range of commentary approaches in qualitatively understanding, the meaning of different experiences, as well as in areas such as decoding, commentary and translation.
