First Full Day of Operations at IOC Runs Smoothly

The first full day of operations at the new Integrated Operations Center (IOC) ran as smoothly as possible. Unlike the major off schedule operation Dispatch faced on the day they moved into the new environment, the addition of Maintenance Operations and Maintenance Control Technicians on June 4 ran perfectly. In addition, as the transition was underway on June 3, American had one of its best operational days of the year with zero cancellations, completing 100 percent of its 1,938 scheduled departures while posting a very strong 92.1 percent A+14 performance. Kimball Stone, Managing Director—IOC, reflected: “We now truly have one team, one mission.” A celebration of the new shared environment is being planned for later in the summer.

US Airways’ Board of Directors has already approved the merger, as has the U.S. bankruptcy court overseeing American’s Chapter 11 restructuring. American plans to emerge from Chapter 11 in the third quarter and merge with US Airways. Approval from the U.S. Dept. of Justice, which is expected, is also required.

TSA Backs Down, Won’t Allow Small Knives on Airline Flights

The Transportation Security Administration has decided not to allow small knives onto airline flights, backing away from its original intent to relax its carry-on rules. The decision had raised loud protests from flight attendants and their unions, as well as many others concerned that even small knives would endanger airplanes and the passengers they carry. TSA officials had revealed in early March that they would allow knives with non-locking blades no more than 2.36 inches (six centimeters) long and a half inch wide through security checkpoints and onto airplanes. The new policy was to go into effect April 25. However, the TSA postponed its implementation after the proposal received widespread condemnation. Now, it is keeping the ban on all knives.

Southwest Reveals New Design Plan for Hobby International Terminal

Southwest unveiled new design plans and its lead construction contractor for the Houston Hobby International Terminal. The Dallas-based airline, which previously agreed to build the $156 million terminal at Hobby, also said it plans to break ground on the project by the end of September. Southwest has a Houston City Council-approved partnership with the Houston Airport System in which it will fully fund and build the new terminal and then give the terminal to the Houston Airport System to run. Southwest will then lease four out of the five gates at the international terminal for its use. Southwest expects the new terminal to be up and running in 2015.

Monthly Security Tip

When we were children, our parents told us to always look both ways before crossing a street. The same concept applies when we’re surfing the Web—always look first before clicking.

Here are two links: https://jetnet.aa.com and https://jetnet.aa.com. They look the same—but are they really the same link?

Before clicking on a link, look at the bottom of your internet browser. When your mouse is on the link, but before you click, the area at the bottom of your internet browser will show the address that you’ll go to when you click the link (expert hint: Outlook tells you the same thing if you put your mouse on the link). Make sure that address is actually where you want to go before clicking—don’t assume that the address is what the text says it is. Put your mouse over those two links again. Notice that your browser (or Outlook) tells you that one of these links doesn’t actually go to Jetnet, even though both look like they do.
