This, and the following paper, were first presented during the European GNSS98 Symposium held at the Centre de Congrès Pierre Baudis, Toulouse, France, from 20 to 23 October 1998; however, both authors have provided updated scripts for use in this Volume of the Journal.This paper provides an update of the development and implementation of the United States of America Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and Local Area Augmentation Systems (LAAS). It also addresses FAA efforts to implement these satellite navigation technologies into the US National Airspace System (NAS), as well as interoperability efforts concerning Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) between the FAA and other worldwide Civil Aviation Authorities.

Typically, animal shelters and rescues are judged on their live release rates. This research explores the relative impact that shelter traits and programmes have on positive outcomes for dogs. Using a survey of 370 animal shelters and rescues across the US, it concludes that eschewing the use of breed labels for all dogs that do not appear to be pure-bred, having a robust foster programme, and using a matching programme are correlated with higher live release and lower return rates. Resources are not wholly determinative of success — it is the programmes shelters and rescues implement, not simply their human and financial resources — that are associated with positive outcomes.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the extent to which major US airlines respond to one another in quality of service improvements. Design/methodology/approach Utilizing monthly data, the authors estimate a five-equation vector autoregressive model to determine which airline leads or follows others in quality of service improvements. Findings This study found that the five major airlines make interrelated decisions when responding to customer complaints concerning flight problems, over-sales, reservations, ticketing, boarding, and customer service. Every airline either responds to or influences the changes in customer complaints faced by at least one other airline, while some airlines do both. However, only one such relationship was found when examining if airlines change the percent of flight delays they have control over in response to changes in flight delays faced by another airline. Practical implications The number of passenger complaints against an airline can be influenced by the airline, as can the number of carrier-caused flight delays. The industry leaders in responsiveness to consumer complaints are US Airways and United. However, airlines do not, as a group, respond to the carrier-caused delays of their competitors. The prescription to improve airline service vis-à-vis flight delays is simple: tell passengers why flights are delayed. To protect or gain market share, airlines would compete for customers by minimizing flight delays in a similar manor to how they respond to customer complaints. Originality/value No other paper that the authors are aware of has addressed the issue of identifying leaders and followers in the US airline industry regarding changes in service quality as reflected by changes in passenger complaints and flight delays.

According to Michael Kratsios, Deputy US Technology Officer, and Executive Assistant of President, UASs will contribute to 100,000 new jobs and provide nearly $80 Billion in economic impact in the United States over the next decade, but "errant use poses unique safety and technological challenges" (Kratsios, 2018). It is these two opposing potential results that pit the advocates for fully integrating UASs into the National Airspace System against those that warn for caution and separation. The profit potential of being the market leader in a new industry clashes with an already established manned system that is recovering from years of losses following September 11, 2002, and regulatory agencies whose mission is the safe and efficient utilization of airspace, particularly of existing manned aviation, clashes with users who want unrestricted and free access at any time and may not necessarily understand the regulatory environment of the complex airspace system they want to occupy. UAS sales are growing irrespective of this, with sales doubling annually from 2013 to 2017, reaching an estimated 2.4 million units sold in the US in 2017 (Scott, 2017) (Meola, The Rise of the Drone Industry, 2017).

Job Values

As a practical imperative, organizations must be able to attract, retain, and motivate qualified employees to remain going concerns. Those that adopt a market-based strategy that focuses on paying market-competitive wages may effectively attract and retain employees and, depending upon their compensation planning process, encourage employees’ belief in the distributive justiceof their organizations’ pay decisions. Alternatively, organizations that adopt an internal equity strategy that focuses on pay decisions that reflect the internal value of employees’ jobs to their organization may effectively retain employees and, depending upon the process used to determine internal job values, encourage employees’ belief in the equity or procedural justice of that process. Compared to these strategies, organizations that rely on measures of overall job value are focusing on neither the market values, nor their internal values of jobs, alone. Instead, they are focusing on the jobs’ overall values, or their amended market values given the influence of the jobs’ internal values to the organization. As such, overall job value impacts, at once, the organizations’ need to attract, retain and motivate employees.This article evaluates the relative impact of market, internal, and overall job value on the competitiveness of 88 employees’ pay in 41 jobs in a nonprofit organization in the US health care sector. The organization’s pay decisions were made prior to this study and without benefit of a formal salary management plan. Hence, this study represents a retrospective analysis of the relative impact of jobs’ market, internal, and overall value on pay competitiveness.

The Eleventh Circuit Holds that Agreements in which Pharmaceutical Companies Pay Generic Companies Not to Compete May be Valid

Two Sides

On September 15, 2003, the US. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held that agreements between pharmaceutical and generic companies not to compete are not per se unlawful if these agreements do not expand the existing exclusionary right of a patent. The Valley DrugCo.v.Geneva Pharmaceuticals decision emphasizes that the nature of a patent gives the patent holder exclusive rights, and if an agreement merely confirms that exclusivity, then it is not per se unlawful. With this holding, the appeals court reversed the decision of the trial court, which held that agreements under which competitors are paid to stay out of the market are per se violations of the antitrust laws. An examination of the Valley Drugtrial and appeals court decisions sheds light on the two sides of an emerging legal debate concerning the validity of pay-not-to-compete agreements, and more broadly, on the appropriate balance between the seemingly competing interests of patent and antitrust laws.
