Review the following details and also check the outline attached. Please complete the assignment according to outline  

Prepare a 5-page report proposing a corporate flight department for the company executive. The proposal should be professional and must include graphics and diagrams. The proposal may be either APA or in a professional business proposal format (maybe use a template from Microsoft Word or equivilant). Four references, including the textbook, are required and must be formatted in current APA format, regardless of paper formatting.

The company is a large engineering firm based in Lynchburg. The firm employs 400 workers, including sales and engineering staff. The sales staff averages thirty 2–3-day trips a year, with 3–5 employees on each trip. Most of the sales trips are within a 500-mile radius of Lynchburg.

The engineering staff is involved in site inspection and pop-up troubleshooting trips. The engineer trips range from a day to 3 weeks, within the same 500 mile radius. Usually 2 engineers go on these trips about twenty times a year. The company is currently spending $280,000 a year on travel expenses.

The report should include a description and justification for the following areas:

· Why would the company benefit from corporate aviation?

· Analyze current travel needs

· Anticipate future travel needs

· Offer a solution for the company

· Aircraft

· Characteristics that make that aircraft an ideal choice

· Acquisition cost of aircraft

· Operating costs of the aircraft

· Flight department operations

· How would operations be set up?

· How to handle maintenance?

· Contingency plans

Remember, all assertions require arguments. Do not just say the aircraft saves time and money. The company executive will want to know just how much time and how much money.

Please follow all directions for each forum and answer each forum separately. Attach references to the end each Forum and not collectively at the end!!! I will dispute if not done. Correctly

approximately 6 minutes. Discussion: First Impressions

Confirmation bias is an interesting phenomenon; it explains people’s misplaced confidence when evaluating someone’s character based on first impressions. If people allow their first impressions to be challenged, there is a chance that subsequent information will compel a revision. However, not everyone is willing to change their first impressions; somehow, their belief in being a good judge of character is threatened if their impression changes.

In this case, there is a resistance to new information that may challenge what they already believe is true. They will likely focus only on details that confirm their first impression while ignoring those that do not. This is why so many insist that, based on “sound” first impressions, they are excellent judges of character. Clearly, this is not necessarily so.

For this Discussion, you will consider a personal experience regarding first impressions and apply social psychology theory to explore how impressions form quickly and persist.  To Prepare Review the Learning Resources for this week and consider how downward comparisons and idealized images of physical attractiveness impact the developing self-concept. Also, consider whether this impact would be different across race and ethnicity. By Day 4

Post a description of a time when you were certain your first impression of someone you had just met was accurate, only to discover subsequently that you were mistaken. Describe how social psychology theory explains this phenomenon.
