Book excerpt: The events of 11 September 2001 changed the world, and in particular the aviation community, forever. Since then, the terrorist threat continues to dominate international air travel and pose a real and present danger to airline passengers and aircrew across the globe. In line with this, expectations of renewed commitments to aircrew security training increased, however the practical reality of the standard of information and effective training often fell short. This book aims to help redress this problem. Intended to help flight crews' deal with the new complexities they face in the skies, it is designed to inform and enlighten crewmembers on the issues posed by air rage and terrorist activities, using techniques for conflict resolution, assessment of threat, mental and physical preparation and post-incident considerations. The culmination of work accomplished from a lifetime of employment in aviation, security and training, the authors use a progressive approach to explain security issues from a flight crewmember's perspective. Using detailed studies of current airline security practice, verified by interviews with crewmembers worldwide, the book uncovers many of the shortcomings of international aviation security and presents plausible and innovative solutions to the problems crewmembers face. Having worked with aviation industry leaders, regulatory authorities, major airlines and flight training organizations, the authors provide a unique blend of guidance, useful to the development of security programs for crewmembers by airlines, corporations and air charter companies. Government agencies commissioned with overseeing and developing aircrew security can also use the book when seeking a better understanding of the needs of crewmembers and airlines. Readership includes: Airline flight crewmembers (pilots, flight engineers and flight attendants); major universities and colleges with aviation programs; members of organizations such as the Airline Transport Association, International Airline Transport Association, World Airline Transport Association, Flight Safety Foundation, Pilot and Flight Attendant labor unions as well as government agencies.

Book excerpt: Airline safety and airline security are two of the most important issues facing this nation and the world today. As a doctoral student, author Byron Cherry researched and studied the airline industry for two years. His case study outlines his findings and how passengers' perceptions of airline safety and airline security have changed since September 11, 2001. Cherry interviews many subjects who provide such varied answers to his question about fear of another terrorist attack as "I am more afraid of thunderstorms and microburst than I am of terrorism," to "I fear another attack someday will occur due to human error or a daring attack not unlike 9/11." Cherry brings to the forefront the major issues that have emerged since 9/11, such as poor passenger screening methods. He also explains the implications for leaders within the airline industry and the federal government, details the limitations of the study, and makes recommendations for future research. September 11, 2001, was a day that most Americans will never forget as long they live. Are We Safer Now? Airline Security in a Post-9/11 Society offers an interesting glance into understanding the factors that influenced the change in passengers' perceptions of how safe they really are when traveling by air.
