Profit Strategies for Air Transportation (Aviation Week Books)
ASIN: 0275969118 |
Book Description
The fabric of the airline industry has continued to undergo remarkable changes since the 5th edition of this classic text was published in 1995. The industry has witnessed a series of mergers and a trend toward consolidation into fewer but larger airlines. Route patterns have been reconstructed around hub cities. In contrast to the early 1990s, which saw unprecedented operating deficits, the late 1990s have seen a swing to highly profitable operations, characterized by the forming of alliances among U.S. and foreign airlines. Revised substantially to cover these changes, this book is an excellent introduction to the economics of U.S. airline services, both domestic and international. A college level text suitable for students without a background in economics, this book is intended for such one-semester courses as Aviation Administration, Air Transportation, and Economics of Air Transportation. Enhancing the book's value, the volume includes self-testing questions for each chapter and an appendix covering the portions of the basic transportation statute--the former Federal Aviation Act--that are pertinent to the text. Focusing exclusively on airlines--and excluding private, military, and other types of flying--this book is the only college text dealing exclusively with the economics of U.S. airlines.

A Concise Business Strategy and Economics book.......2001-06-14
This is an excellent book about Business Strategy and Economics in the airline environment. It explains, in detail, the traditional points and current trends happening in a fast-paced and ever-changing industry.
I must reject the poor review given by another reader. I have a significant level of training and experience in the airline industry. Mr. O'Connor possesses exceptional credentials and this particular book is considered part of a group of classic educational material for the serious student and aspiring aviation manager to read.
There are many books written about aviation and airlines. This one connects the economic terms, definitions and business strategies together, as it relates to the airline industry.
One final point. This book goes out of circulation and it is difficult to get. Get it while you can!
I was a bit hasty.......1998-05-14
I decided to give this a second look, after writing a rather lukewarm review of it earlier. I must admit that it is not as bad as I earlier may have implied. If given a very careful and dedicated read, there is sufficient detail to gain some insights into the airline industry. Much of it is redundant with general business concepts, so I still don't think it's worth the money for someone with extensive experience or an MBA to bother with. However, for an undergrad or those without more formal training, it could be valuable.
Falls short of its goal.......1998-04-12
I bought this book (regrettably now) and read it, hoping to gain an introduction to the industry that I will be joining as a soon to be MBA graduate. Unfortunately, this does not stand up to its billing as a college level text. It would be ok for an undergraduate, survey or overview type course. But for those seeking a serious look at the airline industry, I cannot recommend this book.

This course, lasting 1-2 hours, gives you a concise historic perspective on the pharmaceutical industry from 1975 into the future. It has interactivity, some narrated portions and a quiz at the end.

Disappointed.......2007-07-17
I bought this CD in the hope that I will get rich insight of the topic. The content is but an article published earlier with no additional value. The CD is bent and could hardly run with big noise because it was labled with cheap paper sticker. I could not print nor copy paste the trivial information. You can get one code to run on one machine. If you change your machine, send the CD to trash. It belongs there.

Do not buy this book.......1998-10-18
If you choose to receive a copy of this book, you will be rewarded with a comic book sized mockery of a 'Guide' - indeed, you will find comics in the book (created by some hapless artist), but the cruel irony is the comics will make you want to cry, not laugh. You'll also want to cry since you paid $25.00 for a comic book. If you are considering starting a salon (as I am), you will find better advice with free, downloadable guides of beginning a business, advice on writing a business plan, accounting concerns, etc... from the Internet. Do not despair - this book is not the only resource for one contemplating starting a business. Good luck with your business endeavor. Begin by making a smart business decision - not buying this book.

Business writing that works.......2004-10-09
This book is for imediate results. The rate of return of reading it is high. It is divided in two parts: principles and applied principles. The principles are clear and right to the point. The examples offers pratical solutions in writing style and layout of presentations, letters, ads, e-mails,reports...For every example the author shows the wrong way of doing it (how we do it ) and the right way ( how we should do it).This makes this book an obligatory tool for anyone who writes papers, reports and presentations.
Book Description
This guide includes more than 50 actual case interviews, and other consulting interview cases. It also covers important frameworks including Porter's Five Forces, the capital asset pricing model, the BCG Matrix and more.

a few mis-print and typos in the book.......2007-09-11
The book i received has some charts not shown up clearly. Some charts are misplaced in the book like the ones on page 51. The quality of the book (at least the print) doesn't look professional. The content is similar to other case interview books.
this book got me my job........2007-07-22
Great book. This and Marc Cosentino's book "Case in point" are the only two books you need. I read these books 1 week before my interviews and practiced as suggested and received my offer.
Thank you Vault.
VERY GOOD BOOK ON CASE REVIEW IN INTERVIEWING.......2007-06-09
VERY GOOD BOOK IN INTERVIEWING AND INVESTIGATION. AND IN GETTING A JOB AND MUCH MORE.
Grate opportunity.......2007-05-19
This is a very useful book. I highly recommend it to everybody interested in consulting.
Good book, but not the ultimite guide.......2007-04-01
I have read the biggest part of this book, and most of it satisfies my expectations. There are a lot of tips and stories about consulting cases in it. I helped me to understand what to expect for consulting cases and how to prepare them.
I am a bit disappointed about the quality of the book, if you compare it to the price. The book is not very thick, it is made of recycled paper and there are advertorials in it.
Otherwise the inside information is useful, so it is a good thing to buy this book.

Customer Reviews:
Complete waste of money.......2007-03-04
If you follow this book then forget about your chances of getting anywhere. Consulting will be out of business with this level of analysis. The cases are really shallow and anything but logical. Don't waste monney on this, I have ordered "Case In Point", hope that turns out to be better.

Excellent Guide Not Enough Cases.......2001-01-14
This is an excellent book for undergraduates who are looking to prepare themselves for an interview in consulting or finance. I took account a couple years ago and didn't remember everything about it. But this book gives a good review of all the necessary topics that would be needed during an interview. It covers business strategy technics, marketing strategies, and finance related topics. While the review covers half of the book, another tenth is focused on some real interviews from MBA students or other companies. Another quarter is actual case interviews. The author does go through on how to answer these cases. However, the maximum length give to each case was 2 pages. To me, that was not nearly enough for a case. And also, there are only about 15 real cases, there are about 15 practice ones. The last 15 percent is dedicated to guesstimates and brainteasers.
So overall, it's a good book; however, I wish there were more cases.
Marginally helpful and overpriced.......2000-11-03
This book is poorly written, inconsistent, and not very helpful. It's also very overpriced. You might have better luck with another guide (Wetfeet.com). But avoid this as it's a waste of money and time.
Get the newer (Sept. 2000) addition.......2000-10-14
Thanks Vault,
I would make sure to get the updated addition:
Vault.com Guide to Case Interviews, 3rd Edition by Mark Asher (Paperback - September 2000)
Bad walk-throughs.......2000-06-03
This book has some really good explanations of the case interview format, pointers on conduct and overviews of frameworks. However, it had some really bad case examples. The sample solutions given did not seem to follow the clean logical and analytical approach that Wet Feet Press' "15 Cases" displayed for their sample responses. In fact, the answers given in this book are a good example of what to avoid: a lot of flair and big words and not a whole lot of case-solving.
An indispensable Guide!.......1999-11-24
It was the perfect reference guide for my consulting innterviews- especially the guesstimate questions. Also, a great companion to the Vault.com Guide to Consulting!

20 + Years Ago.......2007-10-05
Twenty plus years ago I moved back to Minneapolis after living there for 16 years. Two of my friends were prospering in every area of their lives compared to most of my other friends that were stuck where they were when I left many years before. These two did not know each other, but when I asked how they had accomplished so much since I had left, I found the same answer coming from both - they had gone through the Executive Futures program (now Unlimited Futures). They urged me to call Bobbie Stevens and her husband Dean Portinga and meet with them. Of course I was suspicious, but called them and set up an appointment to meet. With no intention of signing up for anything (I didn't have any money), I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at a beautiful house in the woods, rang the doorbell, and when the door opened be warmly greeted by Dean, a trim, towering man with a smile the width of his face and wearing what I would later come to realize was his daily wardrobe - a sweat suit. Behind him was a huge live tree in the middle of the house. Meeting Bobbie was no different, other than her being about a foot and a half shorter than Dean. She's not short, Dean's just really tall. They talked a little about the program (actually, they wanted to talk more about me). I finally worked up the courage to tell them I didn't have any money to take their course. Dean just laughed and said "sounds like all the more reason to get started. The money part will take care of itself". It did. Now there's a book. I cherish my signed copy. I can only say that, knowing Bobbie and Dean for all these years, this book was not written to make them rich, but out of a decades old desire to help people become all that they can become. There are thousands just like me located in every corner of the world. Many whose names you would recognize. Unfortunately, Bobbie and Dean are a bigger secret than the book and DVD, "The Secret". I didn't need to read it or watch it. From what I've read and heard, it's a small part of the real secret - Bobbie Stevens and Dean Portinga.
If You Thought "The Secret" Was Good - READ THIS!!!!!.......2007-04-02
This book seems to be one of those treasures no one's ever heard of - which is too bad because it is essentially a masterpiece that should be in everyone's library. If only Oprah would read it, I'm certain she would be blown away and have Bobbie on her program straight away. Why? Because it's not just a bunch of ideas about manifestation - it is a complete process the author has lived through - as she explains step by step in the most entertaining and complete way I've ever come across. No BS, this is the real deal.
The author clearly explains her entire amazing manesfestation process, how she discovered it, how it worked for her (in miraculous ways), how it has worked for others - and how it can work for you. Now the thing is, and this seems to be the crucial step that is missing from all those Law of Attraction books, the process includes a daily stretching routine (they are actually movements to stimulate endocrine glands) followed by meditation in order to reduce stress to the central nervous system - not unlike Qigong in some respects. By doing this, you effectively open a bridge to your intuition and manisfestation abilities.
Honestly, I've read probably hundreds of books on metaphysics and the like over the past 20 years and I would place this book in the top 5 without hesitation. It is not esoteric at all, it is extremely practical - and thorough. And it's a great read - her story is nothing short of fascinating. I just hope someone stumbles upon this review and decides to purchase the book - because they will be so happy the did.
a must read.......2003-02-21
finally! It's about time someone tells us how to get from point A to point B instead of just saying we can get there! This book is for anyone who realizes that we have more control over our dreams than we think and wants to create thier own dreams.
