Description
These situations are actual ones that have been reported in terms of behavior between the airlines and passengers. Use the Internet and other research sources to address the legal and ethical issues associated with the situation. Then, develop your own scenario that might occur to cause conflict between the airline and its passengers, and then share that with the other students in the forum. Explain how you would handle the situation if you were the airline. What policies would you put in place in the future to avoid the problem.
