CHAPTER 1<br >PREFLIGHT PLANNING<br >PLANNING THE ROUTE, ALTITUDE, AND SPEED<br >An airline is a highly technical labor-intensive, service-<br >oriented business. More than 100 person-hours are spent<br >preparing for every one hour a pilot spends flying.<br > A major airline employs approximately 60,000 people.<br >Of those, 12 percent (or 7500) are pilots; 22 percent (or<br >more than 13,000) are flight attendants; and 7 percent<br >(5500) are mechanics.<br > The other 34,000 employees are equally as vital, but are<br >not always given equal credit. The reservations staff, mar-<br >keting personnel, passenger service agents, crew schedulers,<br >dispatchers, central load planners, cargo and baggage han-<br >dlers, fuel servicemen, cabin service, training instructors,<br >lawyers, secretaries, etc. are all an integral part of a safe and<br > reliable airline. In fact it takes more than 150 employees to<br >operate just one aircraft. The larger airlines operate more<br >than 400 aircraft.<br > A major U.S. domestic airline will schedule roughly 2500<br > flights daily, departing around the clock every day of the<br > year. It doesn t sound all that impressive until you realize<br > that works out to nearly one departure every thirty seconds.<br ><br >
