Split Operations at Sky and Arrow Airlines
By Madeline DeFeo – Boricua College

Jack’s job at Sky Airlines was his favorite, even though he had worked at various jobs before. He enjoyed going to work because he had fun kidding around with his co-workers. In the spring, when it was not so busy, Jack and his co-workers would throw a Frisbee around on the ramp. Even though this activity was frowned upon, Jack’s persona is laid back, so he knew when the right supervisor was working, and all the work was completed, that this activity would not be an issue. Jack knew it was important that all flights were sent out on time, with all passengers and bags on board; and that the customers were satisfied. He felt his job was easy to do because he liked his job so much. When Jack began working for Sky Airlines, his employer sent him for his three-day Orientation and Training in Salt Lake City Utah, where emphasis was placed on excellent customer service, how important safety is at work, and having fun at work. Jack is thrilled about the mentioning of having fun at work, and the one story told about when a ramper was tied up and put into the back of a plane, before it took

    Southwest’s relentless commitment goes beyond the lip service most companies uphold. From line level to the C-suite, everyone works hard to ensure customers feel they are the center of attention. Flight crew routinely exceeds passengers’ expectations to the point it has become routine. Attendants feel encouraged to be creative. They feel their duties entail not just standard tasks, but going further to ensure customers are entertained or engaged in other ways that would ‘infect them’ with Southwest’s positive energy. Senior management does its part by, for example, doing everything to keep prices as low as possible low and using fees for special services only as a last resort.…
