Q:The board of QQQ Airlines has been considering a health and safety issue in relation to its passengers. QQQ Airlines tries to appeal to the low-cost end of the aviation market, and as a consequence tries to pack as many passengers as it is allowed to into each aircraft. Recently a competitor of QQQ Airlines has faced heavy press criticism because of cases of deep vein thrombosis suffered by passengers on its flights. QQQ's board is aware that the amount of space allowed for each passenger is the same on its competitor's aircraft as it is on QQQ's.
Which of the following views on this issue, expressed by non-executive directors at a recent board meeting, is an example of the Tucker question 'Is the decision fair?'
A. If our aircraft have fewer seats, it will mean the carbon footprint per person flying is greater.
B. Our customers should be made aware of the dangers of deep vein thrombosis on flights.
C. Our customers should not travel in an environment that threatens their safety.
D. The health and safety executive recently gave us a clean bill of health so we don't need to worry.
E. Refurbishing the aircraft will cost money and result in fewer passengers on each flight, decreasing profits.
