Ok, I just had a quick talk with my mom.lol She said she sees no meaning in me going to the airport by myself without any indentification. She never told me that. I don't have an id yet but I don't see it as much of a big deal. I'll get one in 2 weeks as well as my permit and she said she'll let me go once I have some type of indentification. Good to get that out of the way.

I don't mind going to the library but it is not something I would do for fun. I don't know what has been happening but lately I've only gotten more and more lazy and really don't finish anything I start. Was learning web design and gave up, was trying to learn other things and gave up. Always because I find something I like better but then before I barely begin something I start something else. I just don't have the patience to do it anymore. And this is worrysome as im just 15 and still have a lot I need to do. Any suggestions?

Thats natural for everyone especially at your age. You are just now getting to an age where you can really start to learn about the world. There are so many interesting things in life its easy to get sidetracked. You just have to do your best to stay "Focused". Im 27 and my list of things to learn about in life keeps growing.

It seems much more normal at my age right now. Thanks for the info!
 
Brian, we are both teenagers. I went through some of that phase as well....go to bed at 3am, then wake-up at Noon. And honestly, I came to realize a couple years back this sucks. To fix this I make sure to get plenty of sleep for school. But currently (summer) I will stay up to 12:30am at the latest and be awake BY 9am. It works for me great. I am not saying follow this, but use this as an example. Sort of make a guideline for yourself and decide these rules need to be followed and such. Making a plan for the next day is a great idea, try it out for a while and see what you think. Feel free to ask anymore questions about this..

Thanks Adam. I'll go to bed earlier. at about 1AM. I am usually going to bed at sunrise everyday.lol
 
You might feel better if you do!

But if you are hanging out with friends and all you guys/gals are up until 4am, don't suddenly rush to bed! Exceptions are okay

...once and a while..
 
Not at all. I don't really have that getting out with friends life down here. There aren't many places to go and even if there were I wouldn't be allowed to go. I do go to the movies once in a while bu thats it.
 
Hello..

I was just wondering something about airlines that 'disappear' a few days ago when I read the 'Goodbye, TWA' article in Airways this month, and not long before reading that article, a newspaper here had a story about about the trouble with Canadian and Air Canada's merger. Are most mergers between airlines that messy? Seems like the employees of the company getting swallowed up get screwed :|
 
Well I don't see any airlines merging. Could you give an example?
 
Brian, that's a good start to a report, basically because it leaves the reader asking for more. It's a great synopsis that you could put in the front since it hooks the reader and makes them want to read the rest of it. Here's a link that will help you out:

APA Style

Your HS teachers may use this, and if you wind up at ERAU, I KNOW you'll use it. By the end of my Macroecon class, I had the damn thing memorized.

Seriously, writing research stuff during the summer will positively affect your grades during the school year. It's cooler than playing baseball in the South Florida heat, and you might lurn sumthin.

Early in the industry, say more than 15 to 20 years ago airlines would merge to form a stronger company. There was a tremendous amount of this to build the current legacy carriers. Giants like AMR or United were born out of several smaller airlines. It was a way to grow. Sometimes it was painful for the employees of the acquired company, but for the most part it didn't lead to layoffs. (I'm intentionally not including the Lorenzo tatics as they were in a league of their own).

More recently (since deregulation) we are looking at more of an asset acquisition of distressed companies. Usually a financially stronger company picking up all or parts of a bankrupt or distressed company. Delta/ Pan Am, AMR/TWA etc Employees got nailled to the wall and some lost their jobs in these deals.

Looking forward we will see the show being run by the creditors, more or less, as there are no financially independent legacy carriers any more. Creditors will look to see how they can sweep up the pieces of a wrecked industry and put them together to make cash flow positive companies that can make at least some of their old debt good. Layoffs will be part of the deal as the industry will need to shed capacity and hubs to get to a sustainable form. Payand benefit cuts will be steep and long lasting.

Also since the names of legacy carriers don't carry the cachet they once did, you will likely see most of them disappear altogether in favor of a "new brand".

Thanks Steven! I am not familiar with this style but I'll definately look into it. What I find hard to do in research is gather information thats not already out there. I would love to be able to investigate the stuff myself and make a report on it but can't do that as a 15 year old alone. So when Im writing a report it feels like Im copying everything since it is pretty much what Im doing. Getting info from resources and putting them into my own words into my own text. Not coming up with new information and creating a report about it.

Most research is nothing but existing research that has been combined and re-stated a different way.

Don't be afraid of plagarising. I'm not saying do it, I'm saying take the same facts that your research has uncovered and put it in your own words. Trust me, you'll do that a lot in HS and college English classes. As far as researching stuff, I've written two economics papers, a three technical reports, and four physics papers all based on info from the web. Just make sure your sources are credible (don't quote anyone from the chemtrails site, for example), and state your sources. Google is your friend. Also, if you want to research aviation accident investigations this should help out a lot.

Eh, sorta. Some airlines like United and TWA were basically shotgun weddings forced into being by the Postmaster general in the early 1930s. The airlines themselves weren't interested in growing, or even carrying passengers at the time. They were making all their dough off the mail. Walter Brown (the Postmaster in 1931) was a bit ahead of his time and wanted to force an airline industry.
 
Delta is a combination as well.

Delta = Delta Air Service + Huffland-Deland Dusters (debateable) + Chicago & Southern + Northeast + Western + Pan Am (Europe Ops)

Yeah. I just read about that yesterday on the jepp manual. Really cool to see how Huffland-Deland Dusters started passenger service as well as parcels and become known as Delta Air Service. Then changes its name to Delta Air Lines.

Point taken. I was thinking of the period later than airmail days. Mostly post WWII when a lot of small airlines consolidated.
