Suppose that a jet mechanic working for a major airline – we’ll call the airline “AirXYZ” – finds a rather serious instrument wiring problem. The mechanic alerts management that the wiring problem is serious enough that it would cause the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to ground the entire fleet of AirXYZ.

Using two of the three ethical approaches we studied in Modules 1-3, describe the ethics of this situation in the context of the benefits – and the costs – to AirXYZ of choosing to notify the FAA and consequently, choosing to voluntarily ground its fleet of planes.

Which of the two theories you’ve chosen above do you believe is most informative relative to how AirXYZ should respond?

The three ethical approaches discussed in Modules 1-3 are below…

Utilitarian approach

Deontological approach                   

Virtue approach

Feel free to discuss Anna and Vronsky, Anna and Karenin, and/or Levin and Kitty and Florentino and Fermina, or Urbino and Fermina from Love in the Time of Cholera.

This is the 4th section of an ongoing project. The project started off by listing 30 risks in 5 different categories for the sport of Baseball. Uploaded you will find the 3 previous submissions.
The first section lists the 3 risks. The second section rates the risks on severity and is put on a chart.
The third is a facility audit form.

For this section of the Risk Management Project, you will plug your risks, all 30 of them, into a
Risk Treatment matrix like the one set forth in the text (picture is uploaded of the chart).

In order to simplify the number of severity categories, you can eliminate “critical.” That will
give you three severity categories: catastrophic, moderate, and low.

You should consider five different treatment options: avoidance, elimination, reduction,
retention, and transfer. Keep in mind that some risks can, and should, be treated with more than
one treatment option.

You do not have to type the risk in the matrix. You can list it by number. For example, list the
potential risks 1-30 above the matrix. List the risk by number (e.g., 1, 2, etc.) in the appropriate box in the matrix.
