orderly growth of international civil aviation throughout the world,
meet needs of the people of the world for safe, regular, efficient
and economical air transportation, ensure that rights of contracting
states are fully respected and that every contracting state has a fair
opportunity to operate international airlines.

Human Factor
What is stress?
The way our mind and body reacts to the demands of our lifestyle.
We experience ‘fatigue’ after intense physical or mental effort. Fatigue
comes from consuming our physical or mental resources.
Our resources, mental and physical, are like fuel in a car. During a normal
day, we consume our fuel at a constant level (like being in ‘cruise mode’ on
the highway). But if we have to go faster or if we have to work harder, then
just like a car, we will consume our fuel more quickly. The result is obvious:
No fuel, no go! We will talk about how to ‘refuel’ shortly.

World Time
Airlines timetables are based on the 24-hour clock. In the 24- hour clock
system, times are expressed from 0001 to 2400hrs.
Examples:
AM/ PM 24 – Hour Clock
12:00 am 0000
12:00 pm 1200
24 HOUR CLOCK
All airlines use the 24-hour clock in their schedules and time – tables. This
is done to avoid any confusion that may arise when the terms AM (Anti –
Meridian) and PM (Post Meridian) are used.
The 24 – hour clock counts continuously from 1 minute past mid – night –
0001 hours – until 1 minute to mid – night - 2359.
Examples:
10 a.m. - 1000 hours / 10 p.m. - 2200 hours

After retrieving the PNR in GoNow, staff must ensure to select only
the first customer.
Staff must remember to de-select the second customer if it is
already pre-selected. In other words, the customer with
‘EXTRASEAT’ as middle name must never be selected for further
processing.
The second customer (with DBST SSR) shall always remain a no
show in the system.

Important:
There are chances where staff may assign the seat to somebody
else, thinking the customer is a no show. Hence it must be ensured
that the seat of the second customer is never assigned to any other
customer. It must also be ensured that staff neither divides out the
PNR, nor cancels the second customer’s booking to accept a Go
Show or process refund
Currently only the web check-in boarding pass has the capability to
print both the seat numbers. In case the boarding pass is printed
through KIOSK or at counters, staff must mention the second seat
number manually on the boarding pass. EXST SSR printed on the
boarding pass shall help the staff to identify customers who have
opted for an extra seat.
In case a customer has opted seats on the emergency exit row,
airports must verify that the customer meets the eligibility criteria
of emergency exit seats laid down in CHM 7, Issue 01, Rev 00,
Section 4.0.
In case the customer does not meet the eligibility criteria, airport
shall change the seat after politely explaining the reason

customer is a no show, however with a seat assignment.
