...and delay happens to the freight. So when it’s an act of the shipper the carrier will not be held liable. I will give you examples and also discuss when the act of a shipper reduces a carrier liability. Before I get into the exceptions I first must give you the general rule so that you can better understand what the exceptions are for act of the shipper. If there were any damage, delay, or loss because of the negligence or oversight of the shipper, consignee or any other party with a legal right to exercise authority over the freight, the carrier cannot be found liable. The shipper in this instance is the carrier. That is the company that gets goods from point A to point B. It can be a car, bus, van, train, or plane. In legal terms the meaning of shipper says that the carrier is not liable for any losses, damages, or delays as a result of acts or omissions by a person, consignor, consignee and whomever else physically handles the goods in that capacity. When this exception is used most often is when there have been some alleged deficiencies in either the loading by the consignor or the rare situation of unloading by the consignee. Another example of when this exception could be used is when the freight is packaged or other preparation of the goods. Over time the rule has been that if the shipper packs the items for shipment and in the process the item is damaged in transport he cannot charge the carrier for injuries if it was packed improperly. That rule also applies when...

...BA employs about 13,000 cabin crew staff and half of them planning to take industrial actions against the management due to changes of pay structure, travel concessions charges, failure to restore staff travel arrangements, disciplinary action taken against staff. Millions will see their wages are going to be frozen or benefits cut while strike persists at an airline, half of them expecting that rises in basic salary from February 2011. Therefore existing cabin crew expect a new top-up payment to ensure receive a minimum amount in route allowances, if the salary increment has been raise them up. The company keeps having a high turnover of staff as it is using the method of Scientific Management towards its staff which is not appropriate for an airline company. It expects the cabin crew and pilots to work more to earn more, regardless their ability, health and fitness. However this leads to demotivate, stress, and tired staff.

Each packet is then transmitted individually and can even follow different routes to its destination. Leased line: A permanent telephone connection between two points set up by a telecommunications common carrier. Typically, leased lines are used by businesses to connect geographically distant offices.

TDM repeatedly transmits a fixed sequence of time slots over a single transmission channel.

...Lately I've been seeing more and more articles discussiing which department controls the message of Social Media: Marketing or PR? I actually was asking that question a year ago in an article entitled "Who leads the charge in Social Media? Marketing, PR, Sales, Customer Service, Who Knows?" It's a year later and the various Social Media platforms have evolved with massive increases in adoption rates and a larger glaring problem has emerged: The very concept that Social Media is 'Marketing'. It's not. It's a communications tool. As the platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and now G+ have evolved more and more marketing people have started to develop strategies to utilize the various platforms functionality. Strategy is useless without a tactical implementation plan. So marketers have developed Social Media editorial calendars that are built with the hope that the platforms don't change their API's and the dashboards actually post the message. The concern is more about will the technology continue to work when the real tactical quesiton is "how will it be utilized by our COMPANY. This is where large company heirarchical structures tend to impede rather than help the effort. The reason Social Media works so well for smaller companies is because of the mere fact that they are smaller. The decision making and internal communications structure all lie with one or two people wearing multiple hats. Large corporations tend to silo who controls what. The idea that...

...Fact: Eric and his registered disabled wife jane decide to take a 2 week holiday in Cyprus Eric booked two flight only tickets on the internet with Eze Air who had recently commenced a daily schedule flight service from Luton to Larnaca. The flight was due to depart Luton at 14.55 pm on 1st may. The duration of the flight was 4 hours and the scheduled arrival time in Larnaca was 20.55 pm local on the same day. Eric and Jane arrived at Luton Airport in good time and were greeted at the check in desk by saida who, after checking them in, informed them that, due to technical problems with one of the aircraft in the Eze air fleet, flight EZA074 would be late departing Luton and that they should proceed to departures and watch the information screens. Eric and Jane, who was in a wheelchair, complained and asked for a written copy of their rights but saida simply held up her hands and said “its no good complaining to me, I am just passing information from management.” Saida gave the couple 2 vouchers for refreshments and again told them to proceed to the departure lounge. The flight in fact delayed for over 24 hours. Both Eric and Jane were fuming as there had been no EzeAir flight information, no one in the departure lounge could give them any information about EZA074’s expected departure time and they were exhausted from a night in the departure lounge and no sleep. EzeAir apologised but said that they had allocated all available hotel accommodation on a first come first served basis...

...Scheid Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University 9 February 2016 Manager’s Perspective Paper The ATOS is a system employed in the aviation system with intention of enhancing the surveillance and certification of air carriers processes. It evaluates the air carrier safety operating systems by use of system safety principles, risk management (RM), safety attributes, as well as engineering practices structured system. The aviation system contains oversight model that is basically a protection system. Protection systems are designed to safeguard customers from receiving inferior services and goods, and from possible production activities harm. This includes possible harm from environment damage, loss of property and equipment, occupational hazards, and airplane accidents. The aviation system also contains Quality Management Systems and Safety Management Systems that are also part of the protection systems. There is an association between the protection and production systems which is based on aspect of exerting influence and exchanging information. The design ensures that production systems are influenced by the protection systems by enhancing control (N.a., 2012). The ATOS contains a design assessment function that guarantees that the operating systems of an air carrier comply with the safety and regulation standards which include the need to offer service at the highest safety level in the public interest. Safety is the output of the effectively designed system, and thus, design...

...typical tiffin carrier carries about 40 of these dabbas on a long, unwieldy tray on his head as he moves speedily through busy streets and cramped trains. The tray and tiffins have a combined weight of more than 60 kg. For distances over 4 km, the carriers often use bicycles; when carrying more than 40 tiffins, the carriers use handcarts. Each dabbawala is employed by one of the city's 800 contractors (mukaddams). The contractors and tiffin carriers both belong to the Mumbai Tiffinbox Carriers Association, It was registered as a trust in 1967, but was an informal guild for some 50 years before this. There are two primary reasons why the tiffin carrier operations started and succeeded in Mumbai. First, the Indian value system places great emphasis on home-cooked meals, served hot. The problem for roughly eight out of ten white-collar workers in Mumbai is that they do not have time to go home for lunch. The tiffin carrier brings the security of an inexpensive, clean, tasty, and often still warm, home-cooked meal. Restaurant meals cost five to fifteen times more than home-cooked food and there is also the chance of falling ill, as many public eateries lack hygienic kitchens. Second, Mumbai is the only city in India where the train traffic flows in the north-south direction and the pedestrian traffic flows in the east-west direction. Thus, tiffins are physically carried for relatively short distances from homes to train stations by one set of tiffin carriers, carried by train...
