TODD LAKE � We finally crested the ridge, and it was time to remove the skins and put our snowboards together.
�Rip hide!� Carlos Cummings yelled, as the wind howled and the heavy snowfall swirled around us.
I gave him a confused look, and he explained that climbing skins, applied to skis and splitboards for traction to climb a slope, were in the past made from animal hides. Nowadays, they are mostly nylon.
Anyway, we ripped our new-school hides and began the process of putting our splitboards together for the powder-filled ride down.
A strong storm had moved in as we skinned up the horseshoe ridge around the west and north flanks of Todd Lake, an area known as Todd Ridge. The ridge is a remote location that requires a significant step-up in commitment and skill level from more accessible Central Oregon backcountry destinations such as Vista Butte and Tumalo Mountain.
Cummings, a guide for Bend�s Oregon Ski Guides and owner of a small business called Center Punch Splitboards, recently helped me accomplish two things that had long been on my must-do list: snowboard Todd Ridge and try a splitboard.
Splitboards are snowboards that split into two, allowing the boarder to apply skins for touring and then adjust the two sides into a single board for riding. I was tired of trudging along in snowshoes and carrying my board on my back during backcountry outings � splitboarding seemed to be a more efficient alternative.
The day started at Dutchman Flat Sno-park, across Century Drive from Mount Bachelor ski area. Cummings picked me up on a snowmobile, and we settled in for the three-mile ride down Cascade Lakes Highway to Todd Lake.
A snowmobile is not required to access Todd Ridge, but it certainly is helpful. The distance from the Mount Bachelor Nordic Center (the typical starting point for those not snowmobiling) to Todd Lake is about two miles. The lake can be accessed via Cascade Lakes Highway (on a snowmobile or skis) or via backcountry ski trails from the common corridor that starts at the Nordic center.
A well-used skin track starts from the Todd Lake trailhead (elevation 6,150 feet) and continues around the west side of Todd Lake.
At the trailhead, where the closure to motorized vehicles begins, Cummings parked the snowmobile and we started taking our snowboards apart to apply the skins.
The splitboards were much less complicated than I had imagined. Basically, a small pin is removed and then reinserted to adjust the bindings for touring or snowboarding. The board attaches together via small clips at the top and bottom.
We applied our skins, adjusted our poles, and began our trek along the snow-covered lake. Small streams trickling into Todd Lake carved picturesque waves into the snow.
Cummings said that the vertical drop of skiing from the top of the ridge to the lake ranges from about 600 to 800 feet, and it is typically a safe place to ski and snowboard.
�I have never really seen a significant (snow) slide out there,� he said. �However, it�s good practice to always bring all that avalanche equipment (transceivers, probes, shovels).�
Indeed, Cummings provided all the appropriate gear, and he gave me a helpful tutorial on how to use transceivers and probes before we began touring in earnest.
He buried a transceiver near the lake and instructed me on how to use mine to find it. The transceiver flashes directional arrows and the distance in meters from the avalanche burial victim (who, presumably, would be wearing his or her own transceiver).
Once the area in which the transceiver is buried is located, probes are used to locate the avalanche victim and shovels are used to dig him or her out.
My search for the buried transceiver was successful, and we continued on our way.
The skin path was flat for a while, until we began heading directly up the slope. Because seven inches of new snow had fallen on hardpack, the skinning was a slippery challenge at times, but we eventually made it to the top of the ridge as the snowfall intensified.
After �ripping hide� and connecting our boards, Cummings gave me instructions.
�Strap in, and head down this straight pitch,� he said, pointing down the intermediate-looking slope. �At this point, I�m totally confident that the snow stability is good. New snow seems to be bonding well to the old snowpack and that crust layer. I�m comfortable sending you down first.�
I stood up on my board, adjusting my balance to account for the weight of my backpack, and headed down the slope. I sunk deep into the powder, snow flying from my board in white waves. The snow was not bottomless, and I did hit the hard crust layer, but the powder turns through a deserted backcountry hill were well worth the challenging skin up.
Cummings followed, and we boarded down the slope through some trees to a meadow. There, we ate lunch, then we took our boards back apart for the skin back to the trailhead and the snowmobile.
Our only encounter with others on the trip was when we came upon a group of hardy female snowshoers early on.
We saw no one after that, enjoying the solitude of a blustery backcountry day at Todd Ridge � and the ease with which the splitboards made it possible.

DURHAM, N.H. -With a score of 190.275, the Yale gymnasts had a season-high score and finished second at a meet hosted by the University of New Hampshire. The UNH Wildcats placed first overall with a score of 195.475. The Bulldogs defeated Ivy opponents Brown, who scored a 189.675 to place third.
Junior Tara Feld placed first in the all-around with a score of 38.775. Freshmen Morgan Traina and Joyce Li came in third and fourth with scores of 38.1 and 37.85, respectively. Feld also tied for fourth on vault with a 9.725, sixth on bars with a 9.7, and third on floor with a 9.825. Traina was Yale's top finisher on beam, placing fifth with a score of 9.75. Li tied for sixth on the event with a 9.575.
Junior Stephanie Goldstein also turned in a solid performance competing on three events. Goldstein scored a 9.4 on the vault, a 9.55 on the beam, and a 9.75 on the floor exercise.
"I think tonight showed our promise," said senior captain Mia Yabut, who did not compete due to injuries. "Hopefully the next two home meets will give us the confidence and experience we need to peak at the Ivy Classic."
"We had a really great showing on vault, bars and beam, but struggled a bit on floor," said Feld. "There were a few flukes on a couple of floor routines, but other than that I think we had a really great meet. I'm very proud of the team and the direction we are going."
The Bulldogs return to competition next Saturday at home when they will host the Bulldog Invitational.

Genuitec has released MyEclipse for Spring STS, a plug-in to SpringSource Tool Suite (STS) that gives users the ability to take their code and use it anyway they want without vendor or aspects lock-in. The plug-in was jointly developed by Genuitec and Skyway Software.
MyEclipse for Spring allows developers to scaffold Google Web Toolkit, Spring MVC, Spring Web Flow, Adobe Flex and Apple iPhone applications simultaneously -- a capability not found in STS or Roo. Scaffolding is easily generated from multiple types of existing data sources, providing maximum flexibility.
"One of the thematic pain points for STS and Spring Roo is that developers are required to use unfamiliar domain-driven design patterns (which utilize aspects and code weaving) that make Spring technologies less accessible to the enterprise," said Todd Williams, vice president of technology for Genuitec. "By bringing MyEclipse for Spring's easy code editors, wizards and scaffolding capabilities directly into the STS environment, developers are entirely free to utilize high-quality Spring tooling, but now have flexible coding options which use the controller, service, domain, and DAO architecture patterns they're already familiar with."

Chris, here's your ride report. Blue Mesa was over the top today. Survival kiting in some massive gusts howling down the lake. Elk Creek weather station recorded a 63 mph gust. Scott and I got out on a REAL fast hardpack snow. According to my GPS, I hit 48.5 mph before bailing out in an impressive crater-fest across the lake. I felt like one of those buffalos going down on Dances With Wolves! Anyhow, I have a Peter Lynn Arc that I'll never strap myself to again. Anyone want to make a deal?
Looks like more nice frontals on the way-

Great start by the White Ferns.
Never heard of Sian Ruck, but she's having one top game thus far.
Moderators - email@example.com (will go to all moderators)
Email/Hangouts - firstname.lastname@example.com
Yeah, the Aussies pulled it back really nicely. A good score in the end.
Should be a very interesting run chase.
123 very defendable based on what I've seen in these women's games.
Watkins and Bates just too good...
Could have gone either way, but it's been a real classy innings by Watkins. It's a trivial matter now.
An upset on the cards in today's game?
West Indies going along very nicely against the Aussies: West Indies Women 119/5 (16.4/20 ov)
Meanwhile, we've made a fairly solid start to the chase. Nitschke very important to how it goes.
Looking back over Sthalekar's performances in the T20 warm-ups, and she has been very consistent bowling-wise. Figures of 3-12 (with one maiden), 3-11, and 2-25 speak for themselves. And she can bat a bit too.
EDIT: Nitschke looking very good here.
Not too upset Poulton's gone; gives Sthalekar a chance to shine. Nitschke seems to be playing a similar innings to Dottin, really deserves a 50.
Would say we're on top at the halfway stage.
EDIT: Haha, wow. I blinked and now we only need 22. Much better batting performance this time round.

Sri Lanka putting up an excellent fight so far...have England 55/3 after almost 10
Well putting the England score in to perspective, SL are 14/3 after 6.1 overs. Tough pitch
47/6 after 14.1 now, looks like England are in the semis
Looks like England vs Australia & NZ vs India. Should be good games for the tv cameras. Aussie will be pretty confident after their performance against us in the warmups

Well I owe an apology to readers here, I have not updated The Harvest in a long while.
In August I had to complete my MSc dissertation and quickly started work afterwards. Since then I have put off coming back here and now I'm thinking it may be time, after two years of posts, to wind this blog up.
If that's going to be the case, first I want to thank readers and contributors here, everyone who kept me on my toes with comments and criticisms and also all of you who just popped by to read. Thanks, folks! It's been a lot of fun coming up with ideas every few days and having you all test them for cracks.
Coming to the end, I can look back now with a critical eye.
The blog has never had a clear theme. That's mainly because of my own very wide interests. The Harvest blundered from articles on international politics and religious conflicts to wood carving and children's literature. I find that most things are interesting in some way! I also think that a wide range of knowledge can be beneficial: to be Philip Tetlock's fox, not his hedgehog, in knowing lots of things instead of one big thing. I understand, though, that visitors may have been baffled by this lack of focus, and it is probably a failing in this blog.
Not earning any money from the blog, I was unable to devote myself to it like I would have to a professional project. This meant that the quality of writing and research was not as high as I'd have liked, and sometimes I ended up filling gaps with very short posts. I tried to combat some of the mistakes I saw in news media but squeezing this writing into my dwindling spare time meant that I was unable to do the kind of analysis that I thought was missing from wider media. That has been a source of occasional frustration.
Still, I wrote here about things that fascinated me, so hopefully some of my readers have enjoyed my posts here! Thanks again for sticking around and commenting and sharing my articles. I will leave the blog up for the foreseeable future, and the email address in my About Me section still stands. Time to bow out for now, good luck!

The lone Beaufort County Council detractor of a tax-payer financed plan to avert home insurance spikes at two wealthy Bluffton developments says he's now on board.
With the likelihood that the tax increase needed to boost Bluffton Township Fire District staffing will come in smaller thanks to new revenues pouring in December, asking for more from the entire district to spare Palmetto Bluff and Colleton River Plantation isn't asking too much, said Councilman Steven Baer of Hilton Head Island after a Finance Committee meeting. Baer was the only Council member to vote against the measure on its first of three readings Jan. 14, when he argued other options hadn't been fully evaluated.
"Data from Finance showed under current assessed values it'd be just slightly over one mill (increase), and that's a very small amount, and I see - as those communities grow - they'll actually pump money into the Fire District, so I don't think that's a large burden on the rest of Bluffton," he said.
Colleton River, now at 315 houses, will reach 700 residences at capacity while Palmetto Bluff is only at 8 percent of its 4,000-home limit, according to Chief Barry Turner, who previously estimated the rate hike could cost those taxpayers hundreds of thousands collectively. It was spurred by a risk downgrade last year from Insurance Services Office, an influential rating agency that decided two unmanned fire stations within the developments no longer count toward fire protection.
The Fire District's plan to avert hikes that reportedly exceed $10,000 in some instances includes a $555,000 addition to this year's budget in overtime for two-person shifts at temporary stations and $1.3 million for 24 new firefighters to be ready for full-time duty starting July 1 with the new fiscal year. The rate increases would hit May 1 without a proposal in place, according to Roberts Vaux, the Bluffton lawyer representing the Fire District.
But paying for those new hires would only take 1.04 mills instead of the 2.84 previously estimated under current property values thanks to the expiration of a debt-financing arrangement in December, said David Starkey, chief financial officer for the county. That amounts to about $1 per $100,000 of assessed value for primary homeowners.
The proposal has met with some opposition from Council and within the Fire Commission as critics questioned the fairness of taxing all Bluffton-area residents to avoid premium hikes for two well-heeled communities, but homeowners and others noted the area has paid its share of Fire District taxes without seeing as much benefit.
Turner argued the bare-bones facilities set up temporarily in both developments could also serve other areas of the districts, and Palmetto Bluff is contractually obligated to foot the costs of a permanent station that will serve its entire 4,000-home build-out. He also said using volunteers for the rest of the fiscal year isn't feasible because they require 240 hours of training with another 20 hours per month thereafter to meet national standards, and ISO requires three times the manpower with volunteers to maintain the same level of service.
"It's not efficient with the timing or the costs," he said.
Councilman Stu Rodman, who chairs the Finance Committee, argued the proposal actually promotes fairness considering about 28 percent of active firefighters will work in areas that pay about 28 percent of the Fire District's $9.3 million budget. Fire taxes in Colleton's zone topped $1.9 million this fiscal year while Palmetto Bluff's zone contributed about $675,000, according to Turner.
The proposal goes before County Council for a second reading on Monday. It will require another reading and a public hearing before taking effect.

LONDON — British police investigating sex abuse allegations against the late BBC entertainer Jimmy Savile say that they have recorded 199 crimes in which Savile is a suspect.
In an update on its investigation, Scotland Yard said Wednesday that 450 people have come forward with information relating to the children's television presenter, who died last year at age 84.
Most of those people have alleged sexual abuse, and there were 31 rape allegations recorded against Savile, police said.
The majority of those who have come forward are females who said they were abused when they were young.
Allegations against Savile grew into a scandal involving the BBC, which has been accused of failing to report allegations against Savile while making shows praising him.

Fight Night Champion
The Fight Night franchise has been one of the more consistent series for EA Sports over the years. Fight Night Round 3 in a lot of ways started off the "next generation of consoles." I for one remember playing the demo for FNR3 over 500 times just amazed by the graphics and the realistic nature of the Hopkins v. Roy Jones Jr bout. Round 4 was next and proved to be a solid entry but nowhere near as revolutionary as 3. Now we are quite a few years into this generation of consoles and EA is back in the ring with Fight Night Champion. Does this game have what it takes to be considered the champ?
Fight Night Champion takes a slightly different approach then past Fight Night games. Instead of having you take a created character and put him through the ranks (which you still can) they have introduced a brand new "Champion Mode" which takes you through a scripted story of boxer Andre Bishop.
I for one am a huge proponent of some sort of story mode within a sports game. Think about it; probably just as big or even bigger of an element of sports is not the actual event itself but the stories surrounding it. Whether your talking about Tiger Woods and his issues off the course, or even more recently Aaron Rodgers of the Greenbay Packers stepping out of the shadow of former Packer Brett Farve. It is the stories behind sports that really make it so entertaining. Champion Mode takes a lot of cues from past Boxing movies. In fact I wouldn't doubt if the staff all got together and watched all 6 Rocky Movies (or at least Rocky 1-4 & 6) and possibly even Cinderella Man and Raging Bull. Without giving anything away the developers did a stellar job putting together a versatile and intriguing narrative.
I found myself fully engaged in the story and trials that faced Andre throughout. The mode isn't just straight boxing you have some in fight problems that arise like cuts and rigged fights that make your rise to the top even more difficult. The only problem I really had with the story was the last fight which through almost every punch they could to increase the difficulty, which did take a step or two away from the finale. With that being said the story was top notch and kept me fully engrossed throughout.
The Champion Mode alone could have been enough to warrant checking out the game but luckily there is even more content on the disc including a vastly improved Legacy Mode (Career Mode) that offers you the chance to create your own boxer and put him through the ranks. The mode is just a lot more streamlined then in the past few versions.
Of course we have not even talked about the fighting yet which if I was going to be 100% blunt takes the belt. Fight Night Champion to me is a combination for what was great about Round 3 & 4 and combined into one package. You no longer have haymakers but instead can make any punch a power punch or a normal punch. The flow of the game is far less on guessing punches or doing predetermined punch combos it is more about strategy and understanding the sport of boxing. The action in the game is downright intense and even after playing the game for more then 20 hours I can say that is still the case.
Fight Night Champion has a great multiplayer element as well which is vastly improved over past versions. Both online and offline Fight Night Champion lends itself far more graciously to playing with a human opponent. All in all I cannot sing the games praises enough. The fighting is great, the story is excellent, and the overall bang for your buck is top notch.
The Fight Night franchise has always been a staple for great graphics and that has not changed in this version. Fight Night Champion, which for the first time in the series has a "Mature" ESRB rating which allowed the developers to focus even more on blood and cuts. I will say that if there was one thing I thought the game could have improved on it was the blood and cuts, they are still a bit sporadic and don't really bleed like you might expect. Hit detection has been improved as well as the animation which looks silky smooth. All in all this is one of the best-looking sports games out on the market today.
Fun Factor
What impresses me the most about Fight Night Champion is that in a lot of ways they could have tried to reinvent the wheel again with Fight Night Champion but instead they took a lot of the feedback from Round 4 and incorporated a well rounded boxing experience. The more mature theme is far more appropriate for the subject and they do it in a tasteful way not to become a Mortal Kombat version of Fight Night.
We are finally beginning to see innovation within sports video games and Fight Night Champion truly is step forward not only for boxing but sports video games in general. It not only proves that stories can be an integral part of a sports video game but can be one of it's best. Fight Night Champion is the best boxing game out and in the conversation of best sports game of this generation.

52-year-old British author Neil Gaiman has spoken out against 'snobbish' adult judgements being placed upon children's literature.
The author, who delivered the second annual Reading Agency lecture in central London this week, chose to use this time, at least in part, to speak out against what he feels is a damaging trend in modern literary criticism.
"I don't think there is such a thing as a bad book for children,†began the author, addressing a crowd that included many leading figures from the arts and entertainment world, as well as several representatives from educational institutions.
"Every now and again it becomes fashionable among some adults to point at a subset of children's books, a genre, perhaps, or an author, and to declare them bad books, books that children should be stopped from reading,â€
"I've seen it happen over and over; Enid Blyton was declared a bad author, so was ('Goosebumps' author) RL Stine, so were dozens of others. Comics have been decried as fostering illiteracyâ€.
"It's tosh, it's snobbery and it's foolishnessâ€, he continued.
Mr Gaiman, who's works include children's books (Odd The Frost Giants), comic books (Sandman, 1602) and prize winning novels (The Graveyard Book, Coraline, American Gods), has seen his works adapted into popular films (Stardust, Coraline), and has written for several TV shows (Babylon 5, Dr. Who, Neverwhere). He is generally considered to be one of the most prolific and celebrated authors of his generation, so it is likely that his criticisms will carry some weight.
Gaiman continued, saying that, "There are no bad authors for children, that children like and want to read and seek out, because every child is different. They can find the stories they need to, and they bring themselves to storiesâ€.
"A hackneyed, worn-out idea isn't hackneyed and worn out to them. This is the first time the child has encountered it. Do not discourage children from reading because you feel they are reading the wrong thing. Fiction you do not like is the gateway drug to other books you may prefer. And not everyone has the same taste as you.
He continued with a warning to parents, teachers and even older siblings, when he said that,
"Well-meaning adults can easily destroy a child's love of reading: stop them reading what they enjoy, or give them worthy-but-dull books that you like, the 21st Century equivalents of Victorian 'improving' literature. You'll wind up with a generation convinced that reading is uncool and worse, unpleasant.â€
Gaiman's own book, 'Neverwhere' was recently removed from a High School reading list in New Mexico after a parent complained that it was inappropriate.
Gaiman's response to this was wry and well-considered, as he told a BBC reporter, "I tend to take books of mine being challenged and occasionally being banned – and very occasionally being burned – as a kind of badge of honour. You know you are doing something right.â€
Mr. Gaiman's concerns were echoed by a number of the lecture's attendees.

Rashard Mendenhall knew he would be inactive for the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 14 game against the San Diego Chargers, so he decided not to show up for it, according to NFL.com's Aditi Kinkhabwala.
Now Mendenhall has been suspended for a week, the Steelers announced Tuesday.
With just three weeks left in the season and his contract running out, it wouldn't be surprising if Mendenhall doesn't play for the Steelers ever again. But Mendenhall, who believed the team gave up on him before the suspension, now believes he's still in the Steelers' plans.
Kinkhabwala reports, citing a source close to the player, that the suspension led to "a lot of positive conversation" between the Steelers and Mendenhall, and he now believes he will be a factor down the stretch.

"I really believe Rashard is going to come back with great energy and great excitement," Mendenhall's agent, Mike McCartney, told Kinkhabwala. "He's going to embrace his teammates and his team, and he could be a huge part of a playoff run."
Mendenhall figures to be one of the more interesting free-agent running backs on the market this offseason. McCartney knows as well as anyone that this act of petulance in the middle of a playoff run isn't going to help his client.

Here is what is left of lower Rochester after last summer's fire.
Well a little late to this party but I enjoyed the photos. Well done for a pocket camera. I've been to Elko a number of times, by plane, never had a car. Wanted to go to Deeth (which is a modern ghost town - kind of?) And also just go for a ride on the back roads looking for a tailings pile. There are some working mines in that area, but my goal was some "interesting rocks". I don't even mean anything special, just something for the window that came from Nevada.
Part of that is a railroad interest and the tracks went that way and stopped in little stations in many of those ghost towns. The original Central Pacific route follows - kind of - the Humbolt River East towards Utah and West down to Reno/Virginia City. http://cprr.org/Museum/Maps/_cprr_map.html
Have you ever been to the Ruby Mountains in that region East of Winnemucca?

If you're planning a vacation, one of the most important considerations is probably the budget. Learn why a cheap all inclusive holiday package is a better deal than choosing any part of your holiday separately. In a typical vacation, there are five basic elements:
• Travel
• accommodation
• Car Rental
• Meals
• Attractions / Activities
If you try to locate and reserve each of them separately, you will usually end up paying more than you would if you booked a vacation package.

Getting cheap ski vacation packages is difficult, especially when you know that when you get one. While you hope can save by using months before ski season, there are other means to get it cheaper and enjoy your ski adventure. If you are new to this, especially if you want to learn how to ski, then these tips are for you. I spent four great ways you can get more money to enjoy saving of a ski vacation, especially if you'll have with family or friends.
1. Plan your vacation during the end or beginning of the ski season
One of the best ways to get a cheap ski vacation package is by planning your vacation before or after the ski season. Reservations are definitely lower costs at this time and will definitely be special offers to enjoy you. Although there would be less likely to on snow and good skiing, you might get lucky. You can also enjoy other offers of the resort and even go shopping or go to the sauna baths. Note, however, that if you are planning to learn how to ski, to make reservations at these times is bad for you.
2. Take a chance on the weather
southwest airlines checkin
Another way to get cheap and great ski packages by taking a chance on the weather. Whether it is high season or not, there is a chance that you might get a good snow condition or not. Stick to your budget and control websites that offer a week-long weather and snow forecasts. You can create a package that schedules a vacation of a week or two where you can see the weather is good to get skiing. Snow report will help you to make a good decision about which package plan to choose.
3. Try new or lesser known resorts
Another way to get a cheap ski holiday ride is by checking out new resorts or the lesser known works. Of course you should make sure that these places are very cautious when it comes to safety. Check out the number of lifts and the nature of the runs they have. If you're new to skiing you need to make sure that they are for beginners on the slopes.

The airline industry is over-involved in numerous problems and challenges. There are times when airline managers have to cancel a flight dramatically, leading to a crowd of angry and anxious passengers. Often these scenarios lead to the hassle of repayment airplane tickets and sometimes long term wounds, such as a decrease in the number of passengers. The challenges range from minor issues to serious safety shortcomings. If these are left undetected, it can snowball into a huge problem. When managing an airline, at whatever level or department, thorough planning must be carried out, in particular the introduction of a performance management system. It is a must to understand airline KPI or key performance indicators.
KPIs or key performance indicators are essential for performance management system an airline's.

Think of it as a bullet for a gun, air for tires and fuel for car engines. Without these indicators, it is absolutely impossible to assess the managers to evaluate how effective strategies of the company. Moreover, without the indicators, it is impossible to come up with effective and sensible decisions. KPIs are generic: they all look the same and they all apply to most business types. There are exceptions for an airline operation. Therefore, the indicators must be adapted to such organizations. In general, management indicators of the performance of air carriers divided into four: service indicators, flight operations, customer perspective and financial perspective.
Service indicators are a parameter that is used in the management of the performance of carriers which are generally dedicated to service-oriented activities. The primary goal in evaluating these activities is to have a good understanding about how each employee in the service department. Moreover, the managers will give the idea of ??how new equipment and facilities improve service and eventually sales. An increase or decrease in the number of occupied seats means something and to call for immediate action. The addition of new suppliers and partners may also translate to a healthy service.
Flight Operations, on the other hand, anything to do with the airline operational aspects, such as the number of passengers per flight, the number of flights per day, the number of flights during unpleasant weather, the use of aircraft, and the time available for fly. Fewer flights and more passengers would upgrade, replacement or addition of aircraft.
Customer perspective indicators usually involve passengers in the evaluation process. Most of the time, they get research, evaluation, or feedback forms to fill out. Passengers are asked for their opinion on the way the aircrew handles them, their luggage, their research, flight costs, meals, and even during security inspection. More complaints than praise, it is obviously alarming enough to change an error in the service or correct.
Financial perspectives, where financial managers are usually involved, measures used to know whether the resources are allocated and used appropriately. The parameters include fuel costs, profits, costs and revenues. A negative bottom line has to be a reason for further research and direct action.
Service indicators, flight operations, customer perspective and financial perspective – these are the four crucial airline KPI or key performance indicators that managers should always consider when managing the performance of the company. If there are other things that are necessary to set, then the new indicators must be time-bound, trustworthy, actionable, measurable, and be specific.
