(1) Using a database for North American birds (Partners in Flight Landbird Population Estimates Database, http://rmbo.org/pif_db/laped/default.aspx, [ 64]), we found that passerines generally exhibited much larger population sizes than non-passerines (mean ± s.e.e
But after a decade of white flight, declining population and urban decay, black leaders, emboldened by gun-toting militants in the radical Black Panther Party, had begun clamoring for change.
The development of these new CRM training programs during the 1990s highlighted the growing need for programs to be evaluated using research tools that had been validated for the flight attendant population.
Mixing matrices can be defined in terms of flight volume, population size, region, etc.
(Recall that the sample of 204 cities was formed as the union of the top 100 cities with respect to each of flight volume, population size, betweenness, and degree).
We have also included the entire network of 2904 cities and a sample of 204 cities composed of the union of cities in the top 100 in terms of flight volume, population size, betweenness, and degree.
Our results describe a U.S. flight attendant population and may not reflect the same experience for crew of foreign airline carriers.
In 2007, we mailed surveys to a random selection of the flight attendant population and supplemented the mailing by distributing and collecting surveys at the airport hubs before flight departures or after flight arrivals.
To calculate the SPR, we use the prevalence of a health condition in the flight attendant population as the observed total cases, and the expected total cases are calculated with the prevalence from the NHANES survey applied to the flight attendant population.
