The Airline Industry is having a tough time at the moment and it has highlighted how laid back some have become, considering prices and taxes are increasing for consumers.
We thought that as technology moved on and products developed we thought that applied in every industry. Employees daily undertake training to develop.
When pilots are trained they are tested to see how they react in different situations. I might demand perfection but if I paid for a flight I would expect to land. More rigorous training should be provided and justifying human error is just really hard to do when people have paid to travel with you.
Shockingly thousands of planes fly over conflict zones daily to save money and be more economical. But given recent disasters famous Airlines are pulling out of flying over conflict zones. By stopping this Airlines are showing that they care about the passengers on board and given recent disasters companies are already loosing lots of money when they thought that they could take short cuts to save it. In terms of business it is a good idea to save it, but in terms of the cost of flights you would expect to land safely in a destination that you paid for a flight to. OK Airlines can say that flight routes were pre-approved but are they really and that seems to be a justification for disasters happening that aren't cause by pilots.
Certain Airlines might been seen to be over reacting in terms of cancelling flights in order to be safe, but it should be allowed providing that all consumers that paid for flights are put on flights as soon as normal service resumes. This might economically hit airlines and annoy passengers but ultimately its for passenger safety.
The fact that all Airline Issues are documented in great detail force companies to develop rethink and change any bad habits that they have picked up and always be concerned about passengers on board.
This post might seem like a negative report of the Airline Industry, but tragedies and disasters have all affected the industry even more. The Airline industry will always survive as long as people need or want to travel. I am sure that all issues will be sorted out and the industry will attract more passengers in the future as it has bounced back from previous problems during the past.
This is my own opinion on the subject, it is my own just what I think.The suggestions are just what I think not behalf of anything else.

But you just have to enjoy the subject and you will be fine and have no problems completing it at all. Definitely use Journals, Books and other credible sources
Attend standard dissertation preparation lectures. This involved planning what subject you might like do through the use of a brain storm, that way you break off into different parts of the subject at have ways to fill the word count easy.

Last few days in Spain.
On Tuesday we went to Terra Natura Murcia despite the 30 degree heat we walked round the zoo seeing different animals such as Zebras, Tortoises, Ostriches and Meerkats all the rest were clearly smarter than us and opted to stay in the shade under shelters. After the zoo we went to the Water Park side which was also really fun going down a variety of different rubber ring slides and meandering around the rapids leisurely enjoying the day.
On Wednesday we went to the beach on the pedalos that we spent one hour on milling about in the sea looking for different fish and sunbathing, then we went to get a baguette for lunch and headed back to the Villa to go the outdoor swimming pool. For tea we went to an all you can eat chinese buffet. hmm ate so much food.
On Thursday we played Golf at Golf Deluxe again and actually made it on the podium this time in 3rd place. This took longer than expected due to stopping at hole 9 for a break to get a drink due to the heat.
On Friday we went go karting in the morning, meandered round dos Mares buying last minute trinkets to take back to England and making the most of the sun during the day before going to Los Alcazares for tea.
On Saturday we made the most of last minute sunbathing before heading to Alicante Airport to come home. Unfortunately our flight was delayed but we got back on schedule due to wind pushing us forward.

Spain..
On Friday as a family we went to Mar Menor go karting. Time to show how competitive I am not when it comes to any form of driving the slightest bit on not being in control slows me down.. Also my sister cutting me up at the last minute did not help at all. Hence not having a place on the podium. We stayed in the car park for 10 mins after racing as the runway to the San Javier airport was right next to it, mainly seeing Easyjet planes take off taking passengers presumably back to the UK. Once back at the Villa we continued the routine of Eat Tan Pool Repeat.
Saturday much of the same occurred standard trip to Dos Mares during the morning exploring the shops on offer and discovering a slice of Pizza for a euro its not worth making lunch at the Villa when that's on offer, on Saturday evening prior to the Brazil Holland game we went for dinner to Passion Restaurant in Los Alcazares which was lovely eating garlic and herb chicken with vegetables and fries so unhealthily good. Pudding consisted of a scoop of Kinder ice cream from Gelatissimo down the strip.The Ice Cream parlour and location of all different places to eat in Los Alcazares quickly became a reason for visiting regularly.
After we watched Brazil take on Holland. Cheered on the host country despite loosing to the country.
Sunday was a standard day of rest despite going go karting again in the morning which was really fun attempting to loose the need for control. Back at the Villa we sunbathed and enjoyed the rest of the day relaxing. Before watching Germany being crowned world cup champions.
On Monday to begin the last week went to Los Alcazares for a late lunch and tried Chicken Paella which since returning from Spain has become and obsession to replicate the dish which not being Spanish is probably not going to happen. After lunch we had more ice cream then came back and went in the pool and sunbathed for the rest of the day.

Spain..
On the 5th of July I flew to Spain with my family to spend 2 weeks in sunny Murcia specifically San Javier. We rented a Villa for 2 weeks so we did not have the pressure of being up in time for breakfast as you would with a hotel. For the holiday we hired a car big enough to fit 5 people plus cases and were a bit naive as to the distance to the Villa from Alicante Airport anyway..
On the first day of our holiday we typically relaxed by the pool sunbathing because it was a Sunday and we assumed that all supermarkets and shopping centres would be closed. On the Monday Morning we drove to Dos Mares and stocked up on the essentials before conceding that it was to hot and we needed ice cream. We were invited to a pub quiz by some people in the Villa and shamelessly lost.
On Tuesday morning we woke up really early and drove to Aqualandia in Benidorm which is heavily advertised in San Javier despite being 2hrs drive away. When we got to the water park and went in the pool we discovered that all the water was salt water but that didn't matter because the amount of slides and facilities there made up for it, The rapids appeared steeper that they actually were in the queue and everyone got stuck in their rubber rings at the top of the drops. The new Verti-go slides were opened but being to much of a pansy to go on we stood by the TV screens at the bottom showing people's faces as they went down. After a day at the water park we drove through Benidorm town centre in an attempt at finding the Sol Pelicanos where Benidorm the TV show is filmed, found the Benidorm Palace though.
On Wednesday the day was spent relaxing by the pool sunbathing and generally relaxing and enjoying the day. By Thursday it was decided that we would play golf at Golf Deluxe which was really fun, being located under the flight path though meant plenty of distraction so we were there for most of the day attempting to play serious golf. After golf we drove through La Manga. It looked really nice plenty of warm sandy beaches and attractions for typical tourists that want a day at the beach to do..
A few days in Holland
My 5 days in Holland were really lovely. A friend and I flew from Birmingham to Amsterdam with Flybe, The flight was relaxing and went by really quick. From Schipol Airport we took a 2h 30min train to Leeuwarden. The capital of Friesland.
We spent Monday to Thursday in Leeuwarden exploring the easily accessible city, Trying not to get in the way of people riding bicycles!. We explored the universities that the city had to offer, saw the attractions that the city has to offer such as the Frisian Horse statue that has become really popular. The city is so accessible that almost everything can be reached really quickly. On a regular basis we would head to different cafes for a snack namely bagels and beans- which does amazing chocolate brownies! And not forgetting the t'Pannekoekschip. This pancake ship provides amazing dutch pancakes for people to visit and is recommended place to visit in Leeuwarden.

Finally on Thursday at 7:30 am our time Leeuwarden was over and we boarded a train to Amsterdam Centraal. We spent Thursday afternoon on the tour of the city provided by boat due to the pouring rain. On the boat we saw the Heineken museum, Ann Franks House, The Science museum. When the tour ended we headed off to Dam Square and to see the infamous Red Light district that the makes Amsterdam so popular among a range of different tourists.
Sadly early on Friday morning we had to go to Schipol Airport to get back to England. The plane was really small but we got back home just as quickly as we went and managed to sleep on board.
Holland is such a beautiful country so much so that as soon as we got back we looked at more flights to go back and be able to experience more things in detail as we only got to spend one day in Amsterdam..
