Introduction The current situation within Eclipse Airline involves the absence of ethics. There is no ethics program of any kind aligned with the daily functions or future progression of Eclipse Airline. Therefore, “ethics” is defined by employees and is transmitted verbatim from one employee to another from one employee to another. The CEO of Eclipse Airline also recognizes the possible problems that could arise in the absence of an ethics program, which recognizes the safety of employees and also their passenger customers. The problems are compounded by the duality between an unrefined form of ethical culture within the company and the economic pressure that faces any business progress. Further note, since the airline operates outside of the United States, defining ethics is another obstacle due to cultural differences in foreign countries. From a top-down perspective, there is no one to identify who models exquisite behavior for which others can follow suit. Assumptions The assumption made for Eclipse Airlines is that there is no current form of ethics program that does not produce any positive ethical culture results. It is considered important to note that since no such programs or culture exist, there appears to be no communication conducted from top management down to entry-level employees about any ethical procedures or values other than hearsay among employees. The most common assumption to eliminate is that Eclipse Airline wants to succeed and share success within the organization with all relevant staff. Assuming these three elements, it is in the best interest of the Eclipse Airline Company Board of Directors to immediately implement the following recommendations. Comp Advantage By ensuring ethical behavior that satisfies the organization, the general public can also be satisfied. According to Weaver, studies show a positive correlation in the general public's perception of which company has a superior ethical foundation. The media attention gained by the ethical values of a company and its employees, if positive, can influence the behavior of future passengers/customers and groups seeking prospects to invest in (Weaver, 1999). In terms of competition in the airline industry, the winner within the industry will have strong future business progression with increasing demand from the general public/customers.
