Management At American, Delta &
United Airlines :
A 9 page paper discussing the management similarities of the
three airlines. American, Delta and United Airlines are all
commercial passenger air carriers. Beyond that, they have
only a few similarities. All are old commercial carriers that
were facing bankruptcy together until the US Postal Service
approved air travel for the US Mail in 1925. There, they
reached a point of divergence that continues today. It would
seem that, because of the emphasis on employee ownership,
United would be the “best” to work for, at least as long as
the
pilots remain happy with their contract. The management
style is appealing because it takes the employees into
consideration perhaps more than the others do Bibliography

Delta Air Lines Finances And Investment
Information :
A 5 page paper discussing Delta’s performance during the
quarter ended September, 1998, the first quarter of the
company’s fiscal year. The fortunes of all airlines has
improved with lower fuel prices in the past two years, but
Delta has taken advantage of the savings more than some of
the other ones have. Delta continues to accumulate record
quarters, building their cash reserves while also buying back
some of their stock, and they recently have had a stock split
that makes investing in the company easier for the small
investor. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Delatafin.wps
British Airways’ Merger With USAir : A
6 page paper
discussing the benefits and detriments of British Airways’
merger with the US-based airline in 1992.. At a time when
the entire industry was losing unprecedented sums of money,
BA was able to remain profitable, though only barely so.
USAir was losing less than its US-based counterparts, and the
two of them together had a chance to pull themselves out of
their financial slump. Other US-based carriers and even the
national airlines of several European countries opposed the
idea, however, believing that increased competition would
deepen their already-serious deficits. Bibliography lists 3
