Eastern Airlines

estranhos incidentes e perdas continuam a ocorrer dentro do Triângulo e nas costas adjacentes. No ano passado, vários aviões se desintegraram misteriosamente sobre o continente a pouca distância do aeroporto de Miami, inclusive o vôo 401 da Eastern Airlines (um Lockheed L-1011), com a morte de cem passageiros e tripulantes no dia 29 de dezembro de 1972.

This event is uncertain in that it may or may not happen. If it does not happen, you are no worse off but if it does, there is an adverse consequence that could involve an economic loss or something…

onto the market at east-European prices to make Europe competitive. You spend the money you got as a subsidy on two new cows and then go on a demonstration to Brussels complaining that the European farm-policy is going drive you out of your job. EASTERN EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. You sell the milk (diluted with some water) at a high price to the neighbors or to anyone at the open-air market. If somebody asks for receipt, you charge for a two times higher price, so nobody…

evaluate whether the extra year is worthwhile. As another example, consider an airline deciding how much to charge passengers who fly standby. Suppose that flying a 200-seat plane across the country costs the airline $100,000. In this case, the average cost of each seat is $100,000/200, which is $500.

investimentos do mundo inteiro. Empresas pioneiras no que se refere a parcerias com a China, como a de aviação Embraer, estabeleceram o padrão para um futuro promissor. A Embraer fez seus primeiros negócios em 2000, tendo vendido aviões para a Sichuan Airlines.
