Air Transportation
Nature of the Industry
Air travel in the United States grew at a rapid pace until 2001, expanding from 172 million passengers in 1970 to nearly 642 million in 2003. However, over the next 3 years, a combination of factors--including the events of September 11, 2001, and an economic recession--combined to reduce traffic to 1996 levels. Nevertheless, air travel remains one of the most popular modes of transportation.
Airlines transport passengers and freight over regularly scheduled routes or on routes. Several classes of airlines function in the United States. As of 2004, there were 15 major airlines---12 passenger and 3 all cargo--which the U.S. Department of Transportation defines as having operating revenues of more than ＄1 billion. The largest of these, often called the Big Six, generally have a hub and also fly internationally. A hub is a centrally located airport designated by an airline to receive a large number of its flights from many locations, and at which passengers can transfer to flights to any of the locations served by the airline system. In this way, the greatest number of passengers, from as many locations as possible, can be served in the most efficient way with a given set of resources.
In competition with the Big Six are low-cost, low-fare carriers. These carriers have traditionally not used hub and spoke systems and have offered flights between limited numbers of cities. They primarily have focused on flying shorter routes (400 miles or less) and on serving leisure travelers. But some low-fare carriers are expanding their routes to include longer transcontinental and nonstop flights. These moves have helped low-fare carriers expand their customer base to include more business travelers.
Another type of passenger airline carrier is the commuter or regional carrier. As of 2004, there were approximately 75 of these carriers. Regional airlines operate short-and medium-haul scheduled airline service connecting smaller communities with larger cities and with hubs. Some of the largest regional carriers are subsidiaries of the major airlines, but most are independently owned, often contracting their services to the majors. The regional airlines fleet consists primarily of smaller 19- to 68-seat turboprop and 40- to 70-seat jet aircraft. The regional airlines are the fastest growing segment of commercial aviation with I out of every 7 domestic airline passengers flying on a regional airline during at least part of his or her trip.
Air cargo is another sector of the airline industry. Cargo can be carried in cargo holds of passenger airlines or on aircraft designed exclusively to carry freight. Cargo carriers in this industry do not provide door-to-door service. Instead, they provide only air transport from an airport near the cargo's origin to an airport near the cargo destination. Companies that provide door-to-door delivery of parcels either across town or across the continent are classified in the couriers and messengers industry.
Most sectors of the airline industry were in a downturn in 2002, with several passenger airlines having declared bankruptcy and others on the verge of doing so. After 6 relatively successful years in the late 1990s, fueled by an increase in passenger volume and a booming economy, the growth in airline passenger traffic began to slow in 2001, coinciding with the economic recession. After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, passenger traffic dropped steeply, causing airlines to cut flights, lay off workers, and park surplus aircraft. Although passenger volume has since recovered somewhat, the growth rate in the industry will likely continue to be depressed for several years.
As the low-fare airlines continue to compete and gain market share over the higher-cost major airlines, and as passenger traffic remains lower, managing costs has become mor

听力原文： Janet's sister is a stewardess for a famous international airline, and Janet wants to become one too. Of course she is still too young. The minimum age for a stewardess is twenty and Janet is only just over sixteen.
For the moment she has taken a job in an office. But she is going to attend evening classes. In particular, she wants to improve her French and she has also decided to take up a second language. This is because foreign languages are essential for a stewardess.
Later on, when she is about eighteen, she plans to work in a hotel for a while. This will not be difficult to arrange because one of her uncles is the manager of a big London hotel. Among other things, she proposes to work in the kitchen and the dining-room. This will be especially valuable experience because an important part of a stewardess' work is to serve and feed the passengers.
Finally, if she has the time, she will go and work in a hospital for a while. Again this will provide more valuable experience.
So, you see, Janet has made up her mind and she is preparing for her career very carefully. But it was not easy for her to decide. She asked a large number of people and they all gave her conflicting advice !

A．She hasn't graduated.
B．She prefers to work in a travel agency.
C．She isn't old enough.
D．She cannot speak Spanish.

The Organized Traveller's Checklist
Here's a step-by-step guide to accomplishing the essentials in the weeks, days, and hours before you leave on vacation.
Eight Weeks Ahead
If you're going out of the country and don't have all of the documents you need--whether passports or original birth certificates--now is the time to get them. If it looks like the documents may not arrive until the last minute--or even late--show your airline tickets to personnel at the government agencies from which you're requesting documents. Ask them to put a rush on your application.
If you're traveling abroad, contact a travel health specialist (your health-care provider may have a travel department, or your doctor may be able to recommend a specialist), or contact your local health department to ask about immunizations and preventive medicines.
When it comes to what to take with you--be it luggage, sports equipment, camping gear, or clothing--now's the time to assess your needs. You can save shopping time and hassle by buying from catalogs: order now so purchases will arrive before your departure date.
Six Weeks Ahead
If you don't belong to an auto club and are about to use your car on a trip, join a club now so you can take advantage of member benefits. These usually include trip-planning services, maps, guidebooks, discounts at accommodations and attractions, and roadside emergency help.
Join an airline's frequent-flier program too--it's free. Make sure the names on your tickets and on membership forms are identical, or you won't get mileage (英里里程)credit for your flights. Give frequent-flier numbers to your travel agent.
Four Weeks Ahead
Airline seats are generally assigned and confirmed 30 days prior to departure, so call now to get your desired seat assignments and to make certain your family is seated together. Another call to make is to a kennel (养狗场) or other facility if you plan to board a pet during vacation.
Buy any home security and automation (自动操作)devices you'll need. These might include timers for lights and TVs, an alarm system, automatic plant-watering systems, and pet feeders. Figure out how they work now so you won't be scrambling to set them on the day of departure.
If anyone in your family wears glasses or contacts, order a spare pair today so they'll be ready by the time you go. At the very least, get an up-to-date prescription so you can take it to a quick-service optical store if glasses are lost or broken. If you need prescriptions or checkups, make those appointments now.
Two Weeks Ahead
Write down your doctors' and. pharmacist's phone numbers in case you need information on the road. If you'll be driving your own car, have a reliable mechanic check it from top to bottom.
Plan the route now: Do it yourself with good maps and trip-planning software, or use your automobile club's trip-planning service. Clubs like the American and Canadian Automobile Associations (AAA and CAA) require two weeks' notice to provide this service to members.
You will want to carry a moderate amount of cash, as well as traveler's checks and credit or debit cards. Automated teller machines (ATMs) are handy because you don't have to take as much cash with you, but check with your bank to see if there will be ATMs where you're going. Buy the traveler's checks now, and be sure to keep the records detailing check numbers separate from the checks themselves.
Check camera equipment. Buy fresh batteries and more film than you think you'll need. Resort-area stores charge premium prices for cameras and film.
One Week Ahead
No need to pack yet, but get everything ready. Gather toiletries, medicines, shoes, clothes, first-aid supplies, toys, and activities. Wash clothes and add to the pile. Make a separate pile for carry-on items.
