Many staff in the airline service end feel they are overtaxed while others seem to have little to do. Divide up key airline staffing roles among your small group, choosing one role per person from among the following: cleaning crew, ramp agents, provisioning agents, reservation sales agents, customer service agents, pilots, and mechanics.

Individual Portion

My part is the clean up crew

The individual portion of this project is for each staff representative to write a 2-4 page proposal that would meet the need for service productivity and greater operational success for their specific role. Consider changes or strategies specific to the job in job requirements, training, staffing, and job design. Use the Library for ideas in the airline industry and beyond to consider job significance, job identity, autonomy, staffing, feedback, job rotation, enrichment, employee empowerment, job enlargement. Explain what cautions, methods, or requirements are needed for any proposed changes to meet ethical and legal standards for managing employees.

I attached the file of Going's service division for review.

Group Portion

Communicate within the Small Group Discussion Board threads about your individual proposals. Then, review each other's response and come to a consensus on the Small Group Discussion Board threads about three key proposals or strategies for each chosen role which would make the biggest coordinated difference in Going's operational success.

Guidance for Airline Cleaning Crew

When cleaning commercial passenger aircraft after a flight with an ill passenger or crew member possibly infected with avian influenza, routine cleaning methods should be employed:

? Wear non-sterile disposable gloves while cleaning the cabin and lavatories.

? Wipe down lavatory surfaces and frequently touched surfaces in the cabin, such as armrests, tray tables, light and air controls, and adjacent walls and windows with a cleaning agent equivalent to household cleaner or detergent. Allow surfaces to air dry in accordance with manufacturers' instructions. Cleaning the surfaces around the seat of the passenger suspected or having avian influenza is particularly important.

? Special cleaning of upholstery, carpets, or storage compartments is not necessary unless obviously soiled with body fluids.

? Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that special vacuuming equipment or procedures are necessary.

? Remove and discard gloves after cleaning is done. Personnel should avoid touching their faces with gloved or unwashed hands.

? Clean hands with soap and water (or an alcohol-based hand gel when soap and water are not available) immediately after gloves are removed. The International Air Transport Association also provides guidance for cleaning crews and maintenance crews in cases of suspected communicable disease (see http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/health_safety/aviation_communicable_diseases.htm).
