Delta has many things you can find by looking through the cooperate information.The majority of the Delta's fleet has a total of 790 aircraft's, which compose of Boeing, Airbus, and McDonnell Douglas aircraft's being the majority of them. Delta has a total of 80,000 employees globally, including everything from pilots to management. Delta flies more than 160 million customers to their destination weather it be passenger transportation or cargo. Delta also controls their own FAR part 135, with access to a wide variety of jets.
As a CO-OP Project Manager, one is to assist with other airport customer service, gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypothesis, developing and communicating recommendations, developing measurement system, and implementing performance improvements and assisting change management. Qualifications for this job are solve unstructured problems, work on multiple project with strict deadlines, and function under pressure. Well experienced with Microsoft Office applications, and database software as well as simulation programs. Work experience in process analysis and redesign.
As Pilot is to take off and land safely and on time. Requirements are at lease 21 years old, have four year degree, have a current passport. Flight time requirements are a minimum of 1,200 hours of total documented flight time, and a minimum of 1,000 hours of fixed wing turboprop of turbofan time. FAA requires commercial fixed wing pilot license with instrument rating, FAA first class medical certificate, and a passing score on FAA ATP written exam. Other things looked at are FCC radiotelephone operator's permit, drug test, and TSA background check.
Under both the job descriptions, Delta does not have benefits, pay, or anything listed about the job pertaining to income. The job descriptions and qualifications are almost set up in a way where delta doesn't want potential employee's seeing what pay rate and benefits are. I believe they set this up like this, is probably because they are trying to encourage other to apply first to find out. Delta does mentions that they are investing more than 2 billion in 2013 to enhance technology and customer service needs, which would potential create more jobs for future employees.

Space Travel
The new space economy is getting real, and this follows a lot of speculation to what this really means. Over the years, NASA went from being the government and the nations biggest organization for space exploration. In recent years, NASA was able to cooperate with no governmental organizations, and now they allot money out to certain private organizations for exploration, and even commercial reasons. This allows the private organizations to be able to come away from some government heavily regulated areas and work around them when trying to create a space vessel. Space programs are becoming a current issue in today's world, and people are trying to break into as a transportation method to tour space.
In the next 25 years NASA will be looking to focus mainly on space exploration, and not so much to things dealing with space directly around earth. NASA if going to expend the bulk of their cash on mainly space exploration, things we have not done yet, a current national goal is to go to mars by 2040. Private companies are receiving funds by NASA to continue on earth based space operations, such as the international space station. Doing this allows NASA to focus on the big picture, space exploration, while stuff directly around earth isn't ignored. The main focus for NASA is space exploration, looking for new resources all the way to inhabitable planets, before in the past NASA was in a space race to achieve an over hand on the Russia's to being the first country to get to the moon.
I believe the exploration of space is beneficial as a quote from this article said, "Space holds the future for humanity. The frontier is out there; it's waiting for us." There is a lot for us to discover and explore behind or direct reach from earth, being able to extend the reach will allow us to see things from a different perspective. In the direction space exploration, and commercial space flights are heading, their are a few jobs that may need to become into effect. Spaceport traffic control, this job would be big for coordinating with space crafts like our current air traffic control does at a regular airport. Human-rated spacecraft maintenance, just like current aviation mechanics, special licensed mechanics would have to work on your space vessel. In the future space travel is headed towards a more accessible career field than it used to be.

Aviation Emission Trading Scheme
Europe is now regulating the amount of Emissions that is put into their air, not only by ground vehicles of transportation but now aircraft's. Europe is going to charge the aircraft by the amount emissions the aircraft puts off into the atmosphere. The United States are feuding this with Europe saying that such a thing is outrages, especially with how how much they are charging and the fact that it doesn't have to be emitted in Europe to get charged for it. The United States is in the process of passing a bill which will prohibit air transportation through Europe.
Europe is starting to charge airlines for the emissions they produce into the atmosphere. The United States does not like this because Europe states that the emissions are tracked from when they depart in the States, and when they arrive at Europe that all the emission from that flight are charged and payed to Europe. The big conflict is that 80% of that flight was done in the United States, and International waters, so why should they have to pay them for that. Along with the United States, other countries are also outraged, and some have shown sign's to also retaliate this if changes are not being made. Europe is putting a big risk to their countries with this new scheme, especially when the income from this scheme goes to the government to be distributed to the governments favor, which could have nothing to do with making the atmosphere better.
If the air carriers have to participate in this scheme, not only do I believe Europe has gone mad for purposing this but it would only be exceptional under one condition. If Europe only charged the carriers for their emission for the time they travel over Europe instead of the flights entire leg, weather it was not in Europe or it was. This would make a lot more sense considering it is not trying to profit on things outside of there country. Currently with the way things are heading the United States should pass this bill and not participate with Europe's scheme. Europe's money they receive from the emissions isn't even going back into helping the environment, the money goes into a fund were the European government can distribute the way they want. The United States can do just fine without using Europe in their flight paths, and would be a good decision in my opinion for the united states to say clear of Europe and its scheme.

A380
The Airbus A380 is the new biggest baddest aircraft around in the world of commercial aviation. This aircraft is a Double-Decker, wide body, four engined aircraft build for commercial use. When this aircraft was brought into production and then put on to the line of duty it took over the Boeing 747 of being the largest commercial aircraft. Airbus A380 was in production from 1991, and in 2007 the first Airbus A380 was delivered.
This aircraft has the most allowed seating than any aircraft, which will allow less trips with aircraft's to the same destination, making more money with less flights. Inside the aircraft there is reduced noise coming form outside, which would make more passengers feeling more energetic and rejuvenated upon arrival. This aircraft is also CO2 emission friendly, dispersing the least about of emissions into the air. The aircraft is also built for comfort, it is outfitted with top of line seats to create the greatest customer satisfactions, and this would make more people feel like plane rides are no longer a hassle.
The A380 has delivered to six airlines already, and they have been the first six to recieve this aircraft after production.Their are quite a few more airlines who are placing orders for this aircraft, and we should be seeing more of them in the future. This aircraft on my career can make the management job become easier and more effective. With these aircraft we will be able to save on fuel, terminal space, and open up more flights. this aircraft is able to take on more people people per flight increasing the money brought in per flight, an along with saving on other cost from having to use two aircraft's to do what one can. The A380 is an aircraft that can improve the industry if utilized, and this aircraft makes the commercial industry for air transportation become a more effective business.
