The purpose of this study is propose an alternative for flight attendants to acquire equipment that could enhance the ability to adapt in flying conditions. Introducing and acquiring weapon system, such equipments should be deeply considered in multilateral aspects; reinforcements in the overall strategic status in the army, the ramifications that can contribute to military resources, and economic situations in the country. To do this, we first induced several criteria that can be used for evaluating alternatives. After that, we applied the analytic hierarchy process(AHP) approach to putting all factors into considerations in decision making for equipment acquirement. The results of this study are expected to have usefulness in formulating strategies and policies in selecting equipment acquisition alternatives for flight attendants.

컬럼비아호는 처음 만들어졌을 때 순수한 선체무게만 7만 1800kg이었으며 메일 엔진이 장착된 후에는 8만 741kg에 달했다. 전체 길이는 56.1m이며 승무원이 타는 오비터와 외부연료탱크, 고체연료 로켓 부스터 등으로 구성돼 있다. 20여 년간 27차례의 우주비행을 하면서 우주개발과 과학연구에 커다란 업적을 남긴 컬럼비아호는 지난 1월 16일 28번째 우주비행에 나섰다가 지구 착륙을 불과 10분도 남겨놓지 않은 상태에서 공중 산화했다.

This research examines a storytelling of a crisis presented in news coverages about Asiana Airline accident happened at San Francisco airport on July 6th, 2013. and investigate how the storytelling affects public's image toward an organization. To answer the research questions, qualitative content analysis of news articles (n=101) and survey (n=125) were employed. The subjects for the content analysis were Chosun Daily Newspaper and Hankyoreh Daily Newspaper, and the period of news articles is range from June 6th, 2013 to June 12th, 2014. The results showed that 10% out of total news articles was positive description toward stewardess who handled the crisis well in emergence situtation. The major expressions of depicting the stewardess's heroic activities in the news articles were tears, composure, hero, quick response, sacrifice, sorry, and so on. The online survey was conducted from Nov. 15, 2013 to Feb. 14, 2014 and found that the stewardess heroic activity influenced positively public's evaluation on Asian airline's crisis management and image of the company.

This paper is related to a study on safety management of cosmic radiation in the aviation area, and as a comprehensive study encompassing not only aviation crew but also aviation traffic users, presents issues on an exposure to the cosmic radiation which authors predict may be intensified in a time to come. Although the government of the Republic of Korea has recently activated regulations related to the cosmic radiation, the following improvement measures are further urged to be carried out not only as a regulatory improvement for pushing ahead with effectiveness but also as a supplementary tool. Firstly, a dose limit corresponding to the international standard needs to be applied. Since the dose limit imposed by the Korean government is improperly higher than the international dose limit of the cosmic radiation, the present dose limit needs to be re-established in a range of "not exceeding the international recommendation". Secondly, a new methodology is needed such that aviation companies observe a yearly effective dose limit of passengers. A fact that only aviation crew is specified but passengers are excluded in the related regulation is based on a recommendation presented by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). According to the recommendation, Korean government excluded passengers in the "Cosmic Radiation Safety Requirements for Crew". Among the present aviation regulations, there exists a protection standard for protecting aviation traffic users. However, it presents a damage protection only for ticket-related issues. Since this regulatory weakness provides a cause of endangering national health, the authors believe that an improvement in the regulation is needed without sticking to the recommendation from the ICRP. To this end, new regulations are strongly demanded from aspects of not only legal but also regulatory areas. The dose limit in accordance with the international standard is established. However, at least a minute amount of cosmic radiation is continuously acting on all people of Korea. Since more and higher level of cosmic ration may exist in the aviation space, an improved method of representing the minute amount of cosmic radiation in figures. As a result, a desirable regulation may be established for protecting not only crew but also aviation traffic users from being exposed to the cosmic radiation via a legislation of the desirable regulation.
