...U.S.C. 701-794). Although “not designed specifically as an employment discrimination measure but rather as a comprehensive plan to meet many of the needs of the handicapped” (Twomey, 2001, p.540). The Rehabilitation Act provided three sections (sections 501,503,504) that prevented discrimination in employment. Section 501 was applicable to the federal government itself. Section 503, applied to federal contractors. Finally, section 504 applied to the recipients of federal funds. On Tuesday, the 23rd of January 1990, a “clear and comprehensive prohibition of discrimination on the bases of disability” was established by the One Hundred First Congress of the United States of America in its second session (D.O.L, 2003). The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, which is estimated to cover over, 43 million Americans with disabilities, went into full effect in January of 1992. Considered a “Bill of Rights for Americans with a wide variety of disabilities” the act applies to employment, public accommodations, transportation, telecommunications, State and the federal government (Holley, Jennings, Wolters, 2001, p. 424). The passage of the ADA “expanded the scope and impact of laws and regulations” on discrimination against individuals with disabilities (Jackson, Mathis, 2003, p. 112). The ADA affects more than just employment matters. All employers with 15 or more employees, fall under the provisions of the ADA. The EEOC is responsible for enforcing...

...something with great skill." These definitions could have been written with aviation in mind because it definitely has high standards, and the people who meet these standards certainly must exhibit great skill. Aviation professionals are not born, they are educated. With professional aviation's increasingly complex and high-technology environment, being an aviation professional, today and in the future, requires more than just knowing how to fly. Few of the major airlines require a college degree for employment, but in the past several years, more than 95 percent of the pilots hired have at least a four-year college degree. If you want an airline job, you stand a better chance if you are among the 95 percent with a degree than the 5 percent without one. Aviation is an exciting career field, and because you can earn an above-average income, competition for jobs is keen. Traditionally, military pilots often place first in the employment contest. Civilian pilots consider this unfair, but look at it from the airlines' pragmatic point of view. Military pilots are college educated, which means they've proven themselves in an academic environment. Employers know they will do well in the challenging training environment that is an ongoing part of any professional's career. Employers also know that military pilots have been trained to an...

...Age suits are now the fastest-growing category of discrimination complaints filed with the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In 1967 when congress passed the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the worry was that older workers were being discriminated against in hiring. One might say that the ADEA might, itself have a disparate impact on the older employees of the age forty and above. Because of the competitive job market, employers are not only looking at the qualifications of an applicant, they also may be looking to see if there is any gray in your hair. Times are changing for the work force above forty that require more specialized skills. Companies are leaning more towards computers, email, and the Internet to be more competitive. In the past it used to be you could not get ahead because of the "glass ceiling", now it is more like the "gray ceiling". The aged work force must take personal responsibility in job hunting, because looks can be an asset or detriment. Experience is no longer a prerequisite for an offer. The U.S. congress passed the ADEA, thinking it was going to protect workers of forty years old and above during the hiring phase. Yet only ten percent of the claims involve the hiring process, the other ninety-percent is wrongful discharge. People are quicker to sue an employer if they were fired rather than during the hiring process. Proving a case for wrongful discharge would be much easier than trying to read someone's state of...

...United Breaks Guitars In March 2008, Dave Carroll, a musician from Halifax, NS and his band, the Sons of Maxwell, traveled from Halifax to Nebraska via O’Hare airport in Chicago. What happened on the journey became the subject of outrage, embarrassment, amusement, and transformed Carroll from country singer to customer service guru. Carroll claimed that his guitar was severely damaged by United Airlines baggage handlers at O’Hare. His attempts to pursue a damage claim with United having been frustrated, he posted two amusing videos about the incident on YouTube. The overwhelming response raised questions about brands and the nature of marketing communications in the internet age. The Incident and Carroll’s Response In Carroll’s own words, what happened was as follows: “In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-‐ week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed...

...Export Documentation Exporters should seriously consider having the freight forwarder handle the formidable amount of documentation that exporting requires as forwarders are specialists in this process. The following documents are commonly used in exporting; but which of them are necessary in a particular transaction depends on the requirements of the U.S. government and the government of the importing country. • Air freight shipments are handled by air waybills, which can never be made in negotiable form • A bill of lading is a contract between the owner of the goods and the carrier (as with domestic shipments). For vessels, there are two types: a straight bill of lading which is nonnegotiable and a negotiable or shipper's order bill of lading. The latter can be bought, sold, or traded while the goods are in transit. The customer usually needs an original as proof of ownership to take possession of the goods • A commercial invoice is a bill for the goods from the seller to the buyer. These invoices are often used by governments to determine the true value of goods when assessing customs duties. Governments that use the commercial invoice to control imports will often specify its form, content, number of copies, language to be used, and other characteristics. • A consular invoice is a document that is required in some countries. It describes the shipment of goods and shows information such as the consignor, consignee, and value of the shipment. Certified by...

Air Southwest prevailed in 1970 when the Texas Supreme Court upheld Air Southwest’s right to fly within Texas.[9] The Texas decision became final on December 7, 1970 when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the case, without comment.

DEGENNARO The author is the SunTrust Professor of Finance at the University of Tennessee and a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. He thanks Jerry Dwyer, Dick Fraher, Scott Frame, Will Roberds, and Lynn Woosley for useful comments and discussions. He is grateful to Timothy Miller and Mario Beltran of NOVA Information Systems for explaining important institutional details and to Lee Cohen and Victoria L. Messman for research assistance. L ike most consumers, you probably take your credit and debit card transactions for granted. You and others like you carry millions of cards and use them billions of times annually. But unless a transaction goes awry, you rarely think about how your cards work. In fact, a great deal happens after you produce your card to pay for a purchase and before the merchant receives funds and you receive your bill. What happens during the few seconds between the time you swipe your card and the terminal flashes a result? How does that swipe translate into a line on your bill from the institution that issued the card? When making a purchase using a card online or over the telephone, why are you sometimes asked for the three- or four-digit number printed on the back of the card, the card’s expiration date, or arcane information such as your mother’s maiden name? From the merchant’s perspective...

Falling ill or experiencing an accident while travelling abroad requires foreign treatment, and, with medical expenses increasing worldwide, this can lead to costs much more difficult to cover than the actual holiday. Medical expenses increase immensely if there’s need for repatriation. Compared to the expenses of an accident in a foreign country, travel insurance is extremely cheap. As a general rule, buying from a travel agent usually means paying a lot more, not to mention the fact that travel agents are often not qualified or keen to discuss the details of the cover. The circumstances may not allow a detailed inspection of the policy, and very often, the policy document...

...MCMXXIV Export-Import Bank of the United States 1998 Annual Report C H A I R M A N ’ S L E T T E R s the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) enters its 65th anniversary year, it faces more challenges than perhaps at any other time in its history. These chal lenges are related to the economic turmoil experienced in developing mar kets such as Asia and Russia during the past year. I am proud that Ex-Im Bank responded quickly and effec tively to the economic downturn that continues to threaten the growth and prosperity of much of the developing world. It was a difficult year for Ex-Im Bank, U.S. exporters, and their customers, but by working together, we were able to maintain vital export flows. A Expertise and Innovative Programs During the past 65 years, Ex-Im Bank has been recognized for its expertise in helping U.S. businesses compete against tough for eign competition in the developing world. Our ability to manage the political and com mercial risks associated with international trade in emerging markets helped meet the need for export financing in the markets affected by world economic difficulties in 1998. For example, Ex-Im Bank initiated export credit programs for Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia. We estimate that the shortand medium-term portion of the Korean program alone will result in approximately $3 billion in exports of U.S. goods and ser vices over a two-year period — U.S. exports that would not have been sold without...
