Ralph speaks to Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank about the Trump Administration's path of destruction in our federal government. Then, Ralph welcomes legendary public interest lawyer Alan Morrison to discuss the President's authority to impose tariffs and other constitutional questions.Dana Milbank is a nationally syndicated op-ed columnist for the Washington Post. He also provides political commentary for various TV outlets, and he is the author of five books on politics, including the New York Times bestseller The Destructionists and the national bestseller Homo Politicus. His latest book is Fools on the Hill: The Hooligans, Saboteurs, Conspiracy Theories and Dunces who Burned Down the House.I shouldn't be amazed, but Mike Johnson never ceases to amaze me with the rapidity with which he'll just drop to his knees whenever Trump says something.Dana MilbankWe're going to know this shortly, but it does appear that Trump's honeymoon may be over in the House as the conservatives finally seem to be finding their backbones. But I've thought that might happen before and then only to find out that they, in fact, they could not locate their backbones. So I don't want to be premature.Dana MilbankTrump seems to be gambling (and the administration seems to be gambling) that ultimately the Supreme Court is going to a wholesale reinterpretation of the Constitution to grant these never-before-seen executive powers, and it's possible that he's right about that. We're not going to know that. There have been a couple of preliminary rulings that seem friendly to Trump, but none of those is final, so we can't really be sure of it.Dana MilbankMy guess is that Chief Justice Roberts is seeing his legacy heading toward the ditch after his decision of Trump v. United States, where he said that Presidents cannot be criminally prosecuted….My guess is he's going to unpleasantly surprise Trump in the coming months.Ralph NaderAlan Morrison is the Lerner Family Associate Dean for Public Interest & Public Service at George Washington Law School. He currently teaches civil procedure and constitutional law, and previously taught at Harvard, NYU, Stanford, Hawaii, and American University law schools. He has argued 20 cases in the Supreme Court and co-founded the Public Citizen Litigation Group in 1972, which he directed for more than 25 years.It's inevitable that even for a non-economist like myself to understand that [the costs of tariffs] are going to be passed on. Other than Donald Trump, I don't think there's anybody who believes that these taxes are not going to be passed on and that they're going to be borne by the country from which the company did the exporting.Alan MorrisonIt's an uphill battle on both the statutory interpretation and the undue delegation grounds, but our position is rather simple: If the Congress doesn't write a statute so that there's something that the government can't order or do, then it's gone too far. In effect, it has surrendered to the President its power to set policy and do the legislative function. Interestingly, Trump has trumpeted the breadth of what he's doing here. He calls it a revolution. Well, if we have revolutions in this country, my copy of the Constitution says that the Congress has to enact revolution and the President can't do it on its own. So we think we've got a pretty strong case if we can get it to court.Alan MorrisonOne of the things that I've been struck by is that laws alone cannot make this country governable. That we can't write laws to cover every situation and every quirk that any person has, especially the President. We depend on the norms of government—that people will do things not exactly the way everybody did them before, but along the same general lines, and that when we make change, we make them in moderation, because that's what the people expect. Trump has shed all norms.Alan MorrisonNews 4/9/251. Our top story this week is the killing of Omar Mohammed Rabea, an American citizen in Gaza. Known as Amer, the BBC reports the 14-year-old was shot by the Israeli military along with two other 14-year-old boys “on the outskirts of Turmus Ayya” on Sunday evening. Predictably, the IDF called these children “terrorists.” According to NJ.com – Rabea formerly resided in Saddle Brook, New Jersey – Rabea's uncle sits on the board of a local Palestinian American Community Center which told the press “The ambulance was not allowed to pass the checkpoint for 30 minutes, a denial in medical treatment that ultimately resulted in Amer's death…[his] death was entirely preventable and horrifically unjust. He was a child, a 14-year-old boy, with an entire life ahead of him.” The Rachel Corrie Foundation, founded in honor of the American peace activist killed by an Israeli bulldozer while protesting the demolition of a Palestinian home, issued a statement reading “Rabea's death…was perpetuated by Israeli settlers who act with impunity…We believe that if our own government demanded accountability…Rabea would still be alive.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has sent a letter to Attorney General Bondi demanding an investigation, but chances of the Trump administration pursuing justice in this case are slim.2. Meanwhile, President Trump seems to be driving the U.S. economy into a deep recession. Following his much-publicized tariff announcement last week – which included 10% tariffs on uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands – the S&P dipped by 10.5%, among the largest drops in history, per the New York Times. Far from making Trump back off however, he appears dead set on pushing this as far as it will go. After the People's Republic of China responded to the threat of a 54% tariff with a reciprocal 34% tariff, Trump announced the U.S. will retaliate by upping the tariff to a whopping 104% on Chinese imports, according to the BBC. Reuters reports that JP Morgan forecasts a 60% chance of a recession as a result of these tariffs.3. In more foreign affairs news, on Friday April 4th, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol was officially removed from office by that country's Constitutional Court, “ending months of uncertainty and legal wrangling after he briefly declared martial law in December,” per CNN. The South Korean parliament had already voted to impeach Yoon in December of 2024. The court's decision was unanimous and characterized the leader's actions as a “grave betrayal of the people's trust.” Upon this ruling being handed down, Yoon was forced to immediately vacate the presidential residence. A new election is scheduled for June 3rd. Incredible what a political and judicial class unafraid to stand up to lawlessness can accomplish.4. Speaking of ineffectual opposition parties, one need look no further than Texas' 18th congressional district. This safe Democratic district – including most of central Houston – was held by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee from 1995 until her death in 2024. According to the Texas Tribune, Lee planned to run yet again in 2024, triumphing over her 43-year-old former aide Amanda Edwards in the primary. However, Lee passed in July of 2024. Edwards again sought the nomination, but the Harris County Democratic Party instead opted for 69-year-old former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, per the Texas Tribune. Turner made it to March of 2025 before he too passed away. This seat now sits vacant – depriving the residents of central Houston of congressional representation and the Democrats of a vote in the House. Governor Gregg Abbot has announced that he will not allow a special election before November 2025, the Texas Tribune reports. This is a stunning Democratic own-goal and indicative of the literal death grip the gerontocratic old guard continue to have on the party.5. One ray of hope is that Democratic voters appear to be waking up the ineffectual nature of the party leadership. A new Data for Progress poll of the 2028 New York Senate primary posed a hypothetical matchup between incumbent Senator Chuck Schumer and Democratic Socialist firebrand Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – and found AOC with a staggering lead of 19 points. This poll showed AOC winning voters under 45 by 50 points, over 45s by eight points, non-college educated by 16 points, college educated by 23 points, Black and white voters by 16 points, and Latinos by 28. Schumer led among self-described “Moderates” by 15 and no other group. It remains to be seen whether the congresswoman from Queens will challenge the Senate Minority Leader, but this poll clearly shows her popularity in the state of New York, and Schumer's abysmal reputation catching up with him.6. Another bright spot from New York, is Zohran Mamdani's mayoral candidacy and specifically his unprecedented field operation. According to the campaign, between April 1st and April 6th, volunteers knocked on 41,591 doors. No mayoral campaign in the history of the city has generated a grassroots movement of this intensity, with politicians traditionally relying on political machines or enormous war chests to carry them to victory. Mamdani has already reached the public financing campaign donation cap, so he can focus all of his time and energy on grassroots outreach. He remains the underdog against former Governor Andrew Cuomo, but his campaign appears stronger every day.7. Turning to the turmoil in the federal regulatory apparatus, POLITICO reports Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has eliminated the Freedom of Information Act offices at the Centers for Disease Control, and other HHS agencies. An anonymous source told the publication that HHS will consolidate its FOIA requests into one HHS-wide office, but “Next steps are still in flux.” In the meantime, there will be no one to fulfill FOIA requests at these agencies. This piece quotes Scott Amey, general counsel at the Project on Government Oversight, who said this “sends a wrong message to the public on the administration's commitment to transparency.” Amey added, “I often say that FOIA officers are like librarians in knowing the interactions of the agency…If you don't have FOIA officers with that specific knowledge, it will slow down the process tremendously.”8. At the Federal Trade Commission, Axios reports the Trump administration has “paused” the FTC's lawsuit against major pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, related to “the drug middlemen…inflating the price of insulin and driving up costs to diabetes patients.” The case, filed against CVS Caremark, OptumRx and Express Scripts was halted by the FTC in light of “the fact that there are currently no sitting Commissioners able to participate in this matter.” That is because Trump unlawfully fired the two remaining Democratic commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter. In a statement, former FTC Chair Lina Khan called this move “A gift to the PBMs.”9. One federal regulatory agency that seems to be at least trying to do their job is the Federal Aviation Administration. According to the American Prospect, the FAA has “[has] proposed [a] rule that would mandate Boeing update a critical communications malfunction in their 787 Dreamliner plane that could lead to disastrous accidents.” As this piece explains, “very high frequency (VHF) radio channels are transferring between the active and standby settings without flight crew input.” The FAA's recommendation in is that Boeing address the issue with an update to the radio software. Yet disturbingly, in one of the comments on this proposed rule Qatar Airways claims that, “[they have] already modified all affected…airplanes with … [the recommended software updates] …However … flight crew are still reporting similar issues.” This comment ends with Qatar Airways stating that they believe, “the unsafe condition still exists.” Boeing planes have been plagued by critical safety malfunctions in recent years, most notably the 2018 and 2019 crashes that killed nearly 350 people.10. Finally, on a somewhat lighter note, you may have heard about Bryan Johnson, the tech entrepreneur dubbed “The Man Who Wants to Live Forever.” Johnson has attracted substantial media attention for his unorthodox anti-aging methods, including regular transfusions of plasma from his own son. But this story is not about Johnson's bizarre immortality obsession, but rather his unsavory corporate practices. A new piece in New York Magazine focuses on the lawsuits filed against Johnson by his all-too-mortal workers, represented by eminent labor lawyer Matt Bruenig. This piece relays how Johnson “required his staffers to sign 20-page NDAs,” and an “opt-in” document which informed his employees they had to be comfortable “being around Johnson while he has very little clothing on” and “discussions for media production including erotica (for example, fan fiction including but not limited to story lines/ideas informed by the Twilight series and-or 50 Shades of Grey.)” Bruenig says, “That stuff is weird,” but his main interest is in the nondisparagement agreements, including the one Johnson's former employee and former fiancée Taylor Southern entered into which has further complicated an already thorny legal dispute between Johnson and herself. Now Bruenig is fighting for Southern and against these blanket nondisparagement agreements in a case that could help define the limits of employer's power to control their workers' speech. Hopefully, Bruenig will prevail in showing that Johnson, whatever his pretensions, truly is a mere mortal.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

IntroductionLIVE from a bottomless pit of CEO pay, it's a Business Pants Friday Show here at March 21st Studios, featuring AnalystHole Matt Moscardi. On today's weekly wrap up: Nelson Peltz hates woke ice cream, Self-hating Cybertrucks, and anti-ESG manbabies Our show today is being sponsored by Free Float Analytics, the only platform measuring board power, connections, and performance for FREE.Story of the Week (DR):‘Incompetent:' Jamie Dimon unloads on proxy advisor ISSJamie Dimon said Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) should be “gone and dead and done with”, as he also launched an attack on those who pay for their services.In an interview with Semafor at Blackrock's retirement summit, Mr Dimon said: “Anyone who gives them money – shame on you.”Unilever hit ‘new levels of oppressiveness,' Ben & Jerry's claims as its CEO was sacked over social activismIce cream maker Ben & Jerry's has accused its parent company of firing its CEO David Stever over his support of the brand's progressive politics.On Tuesday, the Vermont-based brand filed an amended complaint in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that Unilever “has repeatedly threatened Ben & Jerry's personnel, including CEO David Stever, should they fail to comply with Unilever's efforts to silence the Social Mission.”Ben & Jerry's said Unilever informed its board on March 3 that it was removing and replacing Ben & Jerry's CEO David Stever. Ben & Jerry's said that violated its merger agreement with Unilever, which states that any decisions regarding a CEO's removal must come after a consultation with an advisory committee from Ben & Jerry's board.“empowered to protect and defend Ben & Jerry's brand equity and integrity”White man David Stever, 4 women of color (one who is the chair), and two black men. In Vermont? Are they trolling us?!?! I guess it can be done. Unilever board member Nelson Peltz is still trying to find a white actor for Black PantherUnilever has not publicly disclosed a reason for Stever's firingThe ice cream company has a unique corporate structure that was meant to protect its activist mission, even after its 2000 sale to Unilever:Independent Board of Directors: Unlike most Unilever-owned brands, Ben & Jerry's has an independent board specifically tasked with preserving the company's social mission.Merger Agreement Protections: The 2000 acquisition agreement required consultation with the board for key leadership decisions, including hiring or firing the CEO.Social Mission Oversight: The board exists to prevent the dilution of the company's activist identity—something that appears to be under increasing pressure.Ben & Jerry's Founders Say They Stand Behind Ousted CEOBoeing Sued for Wrongful Death by Family of WhistleblowerBoeing pushed John Barnett, who was a quality manager at Boeing for nearly three decades, to his death by harassing and intimidating him after he raised safety concerns about the company's plant building the 787 Dreamliner in Charleston, South Carolina, a wrongful death lawsuit filed in federal court in the state alleges. His family claim in their suit that Boeing responded by carrying out a “campaign of harassment, abuse and intimidation intended to discourage, discredit and humiliate him until he would either give up or be discredited”.In the evening of March 8th last year, Barnett left the law offices of Boeing's outside counsel in Charleston after testifying for two days in the OSHA case. Barnett was giving his account of how Boeing violated its own policies and procedures, and FAA rules, during his seven years as a quality inspector at the North Charleston plant that assembles the 787 Dreamliner. He'd delayed a trip back to his home in Louisiana to finish his deposition the next day, a Saturday. Videos cited in the police report show Barnett leaving the hotel around 8:30 PM, and getting in his Clemson orange, Dodge truck. When Barnett failed to show by the 10 AM starting time for his final round of testimony, Turkewitz called the Holiday Inn to conduct a “welfare check.”Note: “America come together or die!!! Pray that the motherfk…ers who destroyed my life pay!!! I pray that Boeing pays!!! Bury me face down so that Boeing and their lying ass leaders can kiss my ass. I can't do this any longer!!! F-k Boeing!!!'Business has been neglected': Longtime Tesla investor demands Elon Musk resign as CEO MMElon Musk Says He Has No Idea What He Did to Make Everybody So Mad at Him"It's really come as quite a shock to me that there is this level of, really, hatred and violence from the left.""My companies make great products that people love and I've never physically hurt anyone.”“So why the hate and violence against me?”"I always thought that the left, you know, Democrats, were supposed to be the party of empathy, the party of caring, and yet they're burning down cars, they're firebombing dealerships, they're firing bullets into dealerships, they're smashing up Teslas," Musk said.

As the Financial Times reports, a whopping $1.4 billion appears to have vanished in thin air. The enormous hole arises when examining the carmaker's capital expenditures and how those compare to the reported rise of the value of its assets.According to Tesla's cashflow statements, the firm spent $6.3 billion on "purchases of property and equipment excluding finance leases, net of sales" in the second half of 2024. However, its balance sheet claims the gross value of property, plant, and equipment rose by only $4.9 billion — leaving an eyebrow-raising $1.4 billion discrepancy.Musk Set to Receive Top-Secret Briefing on U.S. War Plans for ChinaMusk Tells Tesla Workers: Don't Sell Your SharesTesla board members, executive sell off over $100 million of stock in recent weeksTogether, four top officers at the company have offloaded over $100 million in shares since early February.Last week, longtime Musk ally James Murdoch became the latest to do so, exercising a stock option and selling shares worth approximately $13 million, according to an SEC filing.Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal Musk, who also sits on the board, unloaded 75,000 shares worth approximately $27 million last month, according to a filing.The chairman of the board, Robyn Denholm, has offloaded more than $75 million dollars worth of shares in two transactions in the past five weeks, federal filings show.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Chobani CEO: Why we're now giving all workers at least 12 weeks of parental leaveDR: JD Vance rips globalization, calling cheap labor a 'drug'MM: Tesla Cybertruck deliveries are on hold as trims are flying off the 'bulletproof' truck DRThey recalled ALL of them - imagine if Mary Barra put out a car at GM that, 1 year after releasing, they had to recall ALL of them?

It's Thursday, March 13th, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. 1. Saudi's Riyadh Air Eyes India for Expansion Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's new airline, sees India as a key market, with CEO Tony Douglas calling it “super important.” Set to begin operations this year, the airline is in early talks with Air India and IndiGo for potential partnerships. Riyadh Air plans to connect Saudi Arabia to over 100 destinations by 2030 and has already partnered with Singapore Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and Delta. With a fleet of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and Airbus A321 neos, the airline is tapping into India's booming aviation market, where Indians form the second-largest expat group in Saudi Arabia. Notably, 16% of Riyadh Air's staff are Indian. 2. Estée Lauder, DPIIT to Boost India's Beauty Startups India's beauty and personal care startups are set for a major push as the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) partners with US cosmetics giant Estée Lauder. Through its BEAUTY&YOU India initiative, the collaboration will offer funding, mentorship, and global industry access, with a special focus on women-led startups. India's beauty market is expected to grow from $7.43 billion in 2025 to $9.69 billion by 2034. “This is a first-of-its-kind initiative,” said Sanjiv, Joint Secretary, DPIIT. With India boasting the world's third-largest startup ecosystem, this partnership could drive innovation and scaling opportunities for beauty entrepreneurs. 3. India's IT Stocks Plunge Amid Growth Concerns India's top IT firms—TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra—saw their stocks fall up to 4.28%, erasing ₹75,414 crore in market value. Brokerages Morgan Stanley, Kotak Institutional Equities, and Motilal Oswal flagged concerns over sluggish IT spending recovery in FY26-27. High interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and vendor consolidation are slowing discretionary tech spending. “We see a transition phase where IT spending is reprioritized, moderating growth,” noted Morgan Stanley analysts. Despite these headwinds, Nasscom projects the IT industry to cross $300 billion by March 2026, implying 6.2% annual growth, though analysts remain skeptical. 4. Gold's Surge Raises India's Sovereign Gold Bond Liabilities As gold prices soar and equities struggle, the Indian government faces rising liabilities on its Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) scheme, which ties payouts to gold's market price. Gold has outperformed equities since 2015, rising 3.46 times its value, while Nifty 50 has declined. ₹2.39 trillion has already been paid under gold-related schemes since 2017, with another ₹1.4 trillion budgeted for 2024-26. With 132,000 kg of gold equivalent set for payout between 2025 and 2032, a prolonged gold rally could strain government finances, making this a key issue for policymakers and investors. 5. Wendy's, Rebel Foods to Open 500 Locations in India by 2028 Rebel Foods will invest ₹100-150 crore to expand Wendy's footprint in India, targeting 500 locations by 2028. The expansion leans heavily on cloud kitchens, which will account for 70% of new openings. Currently, Wendy's operates in 200 locations, with 185 cloud kitchens and 15 offline stores. India's quick-service restaurant (QSR) market is growing at a 23% CAGR, but profitability remains challenging due to inflation and competition. Rebel Foods CEO Ankush Grover expects the IPL season to boost sales. Rebel Foods, which runs over 450 cloud kitchens across India, the Middle East, and the UK, recently raised $210 million from Temasek to fuel expansion.
One down, one to go. A little more than two weeks ago, reports surfaced regarding Boeing's refocused effort on closing the plane maker's shadow factories, sites where some of the company's top talent fix, maintain, and update planes instead of building new ones.The company had two sites still working on some 115 aircraft, one that services 737 MAX jets in Moses Lake and one that was working on 787 Dreamliners in Everett, Washington.On Friday, The Seattle Times reported that Boeing is already closing up shop in Everett.

Sue Stockdale interviews Ricky Ellcock, a man who defied significant challenges to excel in two remarkable careers: professional cricket and aviation. Raised in impoverished conditions in Barbados, Ricky's journey saw him overcoming racial and socio-economic barriers. His ingenuity as a child, along with his resilience in facing career-ending injuries, led him to become Virgin Atlantic's first Black 747 captain. Ricky shares his experiences of culture shock at an elite English boarding school, fighting through debilitating injuries, battling depression, and ultimately redefining success. His story is one of humour, humility, and relentless determination to achieve one's dreams, and serves as a powerful inspiration for aiming high despite the odds.About Ricky EllcockCaptain Ricky Ellcock was born in 1965 in Redman's Village, St Thomas, Barbados. He attended Combermere School, Barbados before gaining a scholarship to Malvern College, Worcestershire, England at 15 years old. Ricky made his first Class debut as a 17 year old fast bowler for Worcestershire CCC before being selected for the England cricket team at 24.

C dans l'air du 30 décembre - Crashs d'avion : peur en haute altitudePrésentation: Lorrain SénéchalUn hommage à la hauteur du drame. La Corée du sud a déclaré un deuil national de sept jours après le crash d'avion qui a fait 179 morts et 2 survivants, hier, à l'aéroport de Muan, dans le sud-ouest de la Corée du Sud. Le pire de son histoire. Le Boeing 737-8AS, de la compagnie Jeju' Air, a tenté d'atterrir sans son train d'atterrissage et a pris feu après avoir percuté un mur en béton situé en bout de piste. L'enquête ne fait que commencer mais selon les premiers éléments, "la cause présumée de l'accident est une collision avec des oiseaux combinée à des conditions météorologiques défavorables", a déclaré Lee Jeong-hyun, chef de la caserne de pompiers de Muan. Si la tour de contrôle a averti l'équipage d'une collision avec des oiseaux, le mystère demeure sur la question du dysfonctionnement du train d'atterrissage qui a forcé l'appareil à se poser sur son ventre. Mais au lendemain du drame, les critiques se portent également sur le mur en béton placé en fin de piste. "Normalement, il n'y a pas de tel obstacle solide en bout de piste, c'est contre les standards de sécurité de l'aviation internationale", pointe notamment un expert en aéronautique auprès de l'Agence France presse (AFP). L'Agence nationale de sécurité des transports américaine annonce avoir mis en place une équipe d'enquêteurs, épaulée par Boeing, pour aider la Corée du Sud à trouver des réponses.Après le crash d'hier, Boeing a immédiatement lancé l'inspection de tous ses 737-8AS. Six jours plus tôt, un autre appareil de la même gamme a rencontré un problème lié au train d'atterrissage. Ces dernières années, les incidents se sont multipliés pour la compagnie américaine. Victime d'une erreur de conception au niveau de son système MCAS, le Boeing 737 max a notamment connu deux accidents catastrophiques, en 2018 et en 2019. Avec les Boeing 777 et 787 Dreamliner, ce sont trois des quatre modèles d'avions commerciaux de l'aviateur américain qui sont aujourd'hui visés par une enquête du régulateur américain, la Federal aviation administration (FAA). En juin dernier, face à la gravité de la situation, le directeur général de Boeing, Dave Calhoun, avait présenté ses excuses face à une commission d'enquête du Sénat américain : "Je m'excuse pour le chagrin que nous avons causé, et je veux que vous sachiez que nous sommes totalement mobilisés […] à nous concentrer sur la sécurité aussi longtemps" que nécessaire.Quelques jours plus tôt, un avion d'Azerbaïdjan Airlines s'était crashé au Kazakhstan, faisant 38 morts, après avoir essuyé "des tirs" provenant du territoire russe, selon le président azerbaïdjanais Ilham Aliev. L'appareil a "été rendu incontrôlable par des moyens militaires de brouillage électroniques" et "sa queue a été également gravement endommagée" par des tirs depuis le sol russe, a-t-il pointé lors d'un entretien à la télévision nationale. Dans un double langage dont il a le secret, le président russe Vladimir Poutine a présenté samedi ses excuses à Ilham Aliev et reconnu des tirs sans en assumer la responsabilité, au grand regret de l'intéressé : "Admettre (sa) culpabilité, présenter des excuses en temps utile à l'Azerbaïdjan, qui est considéré comme un pays ami, et informer le public à ce sujet, voilà autant de mesures et d'étapes qui auraient dû être prises", a-t-il dit.Que sait-on du crash qui a fait près de 200 morts en Corée du Nord ? Comment expliquer les incidents à répétition chez Boeing ces dernières années ? Et quelles conséquences pour la Russie après le crash au Kazakhstan ?Les experts : - Patrick DUTARTRE - Général de l'armée de l'Air et de l'Espace et ancien pilote de chasse- Gérard FELZER - Consultant aéronautique et transports, président d'Aviation sans frontière - Caroline BRUNEAU - Journaliste spécialiste de l'industrie aéronautique - Aérospatium.info (en duplex)- Christelle QUENARD - Psychologue au Centre de traitement de la peur de l'avionPRÉSENTATION : Caroline Roux - Axel de Tarlé - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/
Send us a textDie Einführung der neuen Allegris Business Class von Lufthansa sorgt erneut für Schlagzeilen – und diesmal mit einem massiven Problem:1️⃣ Zulassungsprobleme: Die FAA verweigert die Zertifizierung der neuen Dreamliner-Business-Class-Sitze, da die Sitze entweder den Crash-Test nicht bestanden haben oder dieser noch aussteht. Während die Allegris-Sitze auf den A350 bereits fliegen, bleibt die 787-Version, die von einem anderen Hersteller stammt, am Boden.2️⃣ Über 13 Flugzeuge betroffen: Lufthansa hat über ein Dutzend Boeing 787 Dreamliner abholbereit – doch ohne zugelassene Sitze können sie nicht in Betrieb genommen werden.3️⃣ Kurioser Notfallplan: Lufthansa erwägt, die 787 ohne Business Class einzusetzen und sich auf Economy und Premium Economy zu konzentrieren. Ein wirtschaftliches Desaster? Höchstwahrscheinlich.4️⃣ Zeitplan verschoben: Statt wie geplant im Frühjahr 2025 zu starten, erwartet Lufthansa die Zertifizierung frühestens im Sommer 2025 – oder gar nicht, falls die Probleme nicht gelöst werden können.5️⃣ Weitere Herausforderungen: Dieses Debakel reiht sich ein in die Verzögerungen beim Boeing 777X und den Problemen mit der Allegris-Einführung auf A350. Auch die Tochtergesellschaft SWISS kämpft: Hier müssen Gewichte eingebaut werden, um das Übergewicht der neuen First-Class-Kabine auszugleichen.Wie geht es für Lufthansa weiter?Mit einem akuten Flugzeugmangel und wachsender Nachfrage muss Lufthansa entscheiden: Parken sie ihre 787-Flotte oder fliegen sie mit einer leeren Business-Class-Kabine? CEO Carsten Spohrs Aussage, dass die Business Class nicht der Hauptgewinnbringer sei, sorgt für Stirnrunzeln.Was haltet ihr von der Allegris-Saga bei Lufthansa?

In deze aflevering hoor je alles over de opmars van de Russen bij de strategisch belangrijke stad Pokrosvk in Oekraine. De Oekraïners hebben zich daar goed ingegraven, maar het tempo waarmee de Russen op het moment terrein winnen ligt hoog. Daarnaast praten we over Boeing die een miljard dollar gaat investeren om de productie van de 787 Dreamliner uit te breiden. Tot slot praten we je bij over de trage voorbereiding van werkgevers op de overgang naar de nieuwe pensioenregeling.

It's been a turbulent year for Air New Zealand, who have dealt with ongoing engine maintenance issues, back lash over prices, cuts to regional routes and plummeting profits . MPs and some mayors have given the national carrier a serve for cuts to what they say are "vital" services. Air New Zealand has been forced to suspend its direct flights to Chicago over maintenance issues with the Rolls Royce trent 1000 engines on its 787 Dreamliners, following concerns of premature wear and weakness. Air New Zealand CEO, Greg Foran spoke to Lisa Owen.
I started counting headlines about Air New Zealand two weeks ago after my flight from Nelson to Auckland was delayed by about an hour. Then last Saturday my partners flight from Napier to Auckland was delayed after a bird strike. Neither delay was hugely consequential – just a little irritating. But since then, there have been a number of press articles about issues with planes. On the 30th of November, an Air NZ plane sat on the tarmac in Hong Kong for hours before being canned after a fuel fault and then crew sickness. An Air NZ flight from Wellington to Sydney was diverted to Auckland on the 1st of December after engine problems. And a flight from Gisborne to Auckland on the 2nd of December returned to Gisborne after engine problems. The plane landed safely after shutting down an engine shortly after departure. Investigations are underway for both engine issues. Anecdotally you don't have to search too hard to find someone who'll share a story of a flight delayed or cancelled, often at the last minute. It got me wondering if we're experiencing more incidents, delays and cancellations than before; or are we just complaining more? Do we feel we can complain more because quite often we're paying good money to fly around our little country? Recent figures released by the Ministry of Transport, which compare Jetstar and Air NZ's services on the main trunk jet routes they compete on, show that in September Air New Zealand recorded 80.4% for on-time departures (within 15 minutes of schedule), and Jetstar 78.0%. For on-time arrivals, Air New Zealand recorded 82.1% and Jetstar 80.6%. In January, Air New Zealand was sitting at 88% and it dropped to 77% in March this year. So reliability has fluctuated throughout the year. Another interesting figure - Air New Zealand's cancellation rate was 1.4%, more than twice Jetstar's which was 0.6%. So yeah, the stats could be better. We all accept airlines can't control the weather, but Air New Zealand has had other issues to grapple with. Planes out of action due to high global demand for engine maintenance meant 10 jets were out of service in the first half of this financial year. It is not expected this will be sorted until 2026. On top of this, the travel market has been a mixed bag, leading the airline to announce this week they will be running fewer flights on some domestic routes in 2025. Who knows what this will do to prices? A 1.4% cancellation rate is tiny in the overall scheme of things – but when combined with other disruptions and high prices, Air New Zealand has its challenges cut out for them. For so long they have been a beloved New Zealand brand, but since Covid it's been like pushing a Dreamliner uphill. Have you run out of patience yet? The Air New Zealand service and staff may be fabulous, but as long as long as the fleet and financials remain under pressure it looks like it will be difficulty to quiet the headlines.

In today's episode, Steve speaks with Steve Satterwhite, the founder and CEO of Entelligence, and author of "Above the Line: How the Golden Rule Rules the Bottom Line." He shares some simple but fresh ideas about how to find the right person for the right role, how to overcome the skills shortage, and why putting people first is the key to successful cybersecurity. Key Takeaways: 1. Successful companies can upskill employees in technology, using positive experiences and promising opportunities. 2. Satterwhite reflects on fatherhood, emphasizing the importance of helping children discover their purpose and identity. 3. Satterwhite believes that the organisation's role is to provide tools and systems for team members to thrive, while also acknowledging the reality of short-term employment. 4. Open-minded technology leaders who integrate technical skills with emotional intelligence thrive. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Attracting and retaining talent in the cybersecurity industry (2:40) 2. Cybersecurity talent shortage and skills gap in enterprises (10:00) 3. Finding and upskilling cybersecurity professionals for new technologies (16:44) 4. Prioritising people in business to boost revenue and profits (21:58) 5. Prioritising emotional intelligence in technology leadership (27:06) Standout Quotes: 1. “I believe that that culture attracts the kind of folks that are ambitious, that are hungry to learn, that are eager to move up in whatever way that they define moving up in their lives. And I think it's our job, really, as leaders, and especially here in our organisation. It's to create that environment so that people can thrive.” - Steve Satterwhite 2. “Here's a stupid analogy, but I like to use it because it's how I think about the business. It's really just to simplify it. Let's say that you're a new airline, or you have a new airline route that you want to go from Houston to Paris, and you're short of pilots to fly the big Dreamliner or the big Airbus from here to there. It's a different operation. So what we do is we go look for people that have been flying 737s most of their career. They're deeply passionate about flying, and they're really good at it, and all we need to do is just kind of upskill them in a short period of time just to fly a different airplane. It's still piloting, it's still flying. That's what we do. So if you think about just the evolution of technology and the things that we're doing, all we're doing, constantly, at Entelligence is just upskilling people in the shortest possible time.” - Steve Satterwhite Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Aircraft assembly workers at Boeing factories in Washington initiated a strike after a proposed contract was rejected. The strike commenced at 12:01 a.m. PDT, following a vote where 94.6% of workers opposed the agreement and 96% supported the work action. Approximately 33,000 machinists will halt production of major aircraft, including the 737 Max, 777, and 767 models, though commercial flights will not be affected. Nonunion production of 787 Dreamliners in South Carolina will continue unaffected. Workers demanded a 40% pay increase over three years and the restoration of traditional pensions, while the proposed contract only offered gradual wage increases starting at an average salary of $75,608. Boeing expressed willingness to negotiate further as the strike threatens to delay aircraft deliveries and negatively impact the company's finances. The strike's duration raises concerns over potential financial losses, reflecting the strained relationship between workers and management amidst ongoing negotiations.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

Nederlanders hebben een recordbedrag aan aandelen in de portefeuille. Alles bij elkaar geschoven waren jullie aandelen bijna 63,5 miljard euro waard in het tweede kwartaal, dat berekende De Nederlandsche Bank. En de techbedrijven maken hun beloftes het beste waar: Alphabet, Apple, ASMI, ASML en Nvidia leveren 1,2 miljard euro op. En dat is bijzonder, want dat is de complete waardestijging van alle aandelen bij elkaar. Ook Tesla staat vandaag in de spotlight. Het bedrijf heeft een dikke meevaller te pakken, en die komt vanuit Brussel. De Europese Unie gaat namelijk minder importtarief op hun elektrische auto's rekenen dan op die van concurrenten, en ook nog eens minder dan eerder gepland. Een BYD, een MG of een Volvo die in China geproduceerd is kan tot wel 37 procent extra gaan kosten in Europa. Maar Tesla komt weg met een importtarief van maar 9 procent. En de nieuwe beste vriend van Elon Musk laat van zich horen. Donald Trump heeft grootse plannen. Mocht hij weer president worden dan heeft hij een speciale rol als adviseur in zijn kabinet voor Musk. Een functie die Musk zelf wel ziet zitten. Toch heeft Trump de pen al in de aanslag om een streep te zetten door de 7500 dollar aan belastingvoordeel die mensen krijgen als ze een elektrische auto kopen. De reden: hij houdt óók gewoon nog steeds van benzine-auto's.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The plane manufacturer is riddled with so many problems it's impossible to keep track. Yesterday, the FAA announced an investigation (yet another...) into a 737 Max 8 jet that encountered a dangerous mid-flight 'Dutch roll' several weeks ago. Now, a report from the New York Times reveals that some Boeing jets are built with 'counterfeit titanium.' Some recently manufactured Boeing and Airbus jets have components made from titanium that was sold using fake documentation verifying the material's authenticity, according to a supplier for the plane makers, raising concerns about the structural integrity of those airliners. The falsified documents are being investigated by Spirit AeroSystems, which supplies fuselages for Boeing and wings for Airbus, as well as the Federal Aviation Administration. The investigation comes after a parts supplier found small holes in the material from corrosion. -NYT The report continued: The planes that included components made with the material were built between 2019 and 2023, among them some Boeing 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner airliners as well as Airbus A220 jets, trywide h Source: zerohedge.com Counterproductive': Biden Energy Dep't Hit With Lawsuit After Cracking Down On Appliances Used By Millions A pro-free market organization is taking the Biden administration to court in an effort to block government rules targeting a bevy of appliances used by millions of Americans. The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) filed a lawsuit against the Department of Energy (DOE) on Thursday seeking injunctive and declaratory relief against the DOE's water efficiency standards for clothes washers and dishwashers. In its complaint, CEI alleges that the agency exceeded its authority by issuing the efficiency rules, which CEI describes as “counterproductive” and bad for consumers. “DOE has gone beyond its statutory authority in increasing the stringency of water efficiency rules of certain consumer appliances without lawful authority,” CEI's complaint states. “More precisely, DOE lacks the authority to increase the stringency of such rules for appliances other than showerheads, faucets, water closets, and urinals. This lawsuit seeks to confine the actions of the DOE to the exercise of its lawful statutory authority.

Samo Burja and Erik Torenberg talk about the decline of Boeing. They discuss Boeing's recent troubles, including fatal crashes and maintenance problems, and how these issues reflect broader concerns about U.S. industrial and military capabilities. The conversation also covers the impact of globalization on Boeing's manufacturing processes, competition with Airbus and emerging Chinese aerospace companies, and the need for innovation and industrial discipline. This detailed analysis provides valuable insights into the challenges and future prospects of the U.S. aerospace sector. Please note there is a small error at the beginning of the discussion when Samo mixed up the 737 Max with 787 Dreamliner, but Samo's original analysis of the 737 Max crash is correct in his Bismarck Brief upon which this episode is based - check it out https://brief.bismarckanalysis.com/p/the-decay-of-boeing -- SPONSORS: BEEHIIV
C dans l'air du 25 mai 2024 : Turbulences mortelles, accidents... peur sur l'avion ? Que se passe-t-il dans les avions ? Ces derniers jours, un Boeing 747 a dû effectuer un atterrissage d'urgence à Bangkok après avoir traversé de fortes turbulences. Pris dans un trou d'air pendant son trajet de Londres à Singapour, il a fait une chute vertigineuse de 2.000 mètres en moins de cinq minutes. Rattrapé de justesse par le pilote, ce vol a cependant fait plusieurs dizaines de blessés et un mort, victime d'une crise cardiaque. En à peine un an, c'est déjà la quatrième fois que des turbulences provoquent des blessures sévères chez des passagers. Un scénario cauchemardesque qui vient s'ajouter à une série d'incidents techniques frappant ces derniers mois les appareils du constructeur aéronautique américain. Il y eu en mars la porte d'un Boeing 737 MAX d'Alaska Airlines au départ de Portland qui s'est arrachée en plein vol alors que l'avion se trouvait à 4 800 mètres d'altitude. En mai, c'est un Boeing 787-900 d'Air France-KLM qui a dû atterrir en urgence sur un aéroport canadien suite à une odeur de brûlé détectée à bord. Un avion affrété par Air Canada a lui dû rebrousser chemin au bout de trois heures de vol en raison d'un problème de pressurisation. Mais les images les plus spectaculaires viennent d'Istanbul, en Turquie, où un avion-cargo a été obligé d'atterrir sans roue avant ou encore de Dakar, au Sénégal où un Boeing 737 a fait une violente sortie de piste lors de son décollage. Depuis plusieurs mois, Boeing n'en finit plus de faire parler et les interrogations abondent. Le 17 avril dernier, quatre lanceurs d'alerte ont témoigné devant le Sénat américain au sujet des graves problèmes de production qui concerneraient les Boeing 737 Max, 787 Dreamliner et 777. Deux d'entre eux sont décédés. Une enquête est en cours pour élucider les circonstances de ces décès. Pendant que Boeing traverse une crise inédite, Airbus affiche une réussite insolente. Le constructeur européen annonce avoir réalisé une "année mémorable" aussi bien en termes de commandes que de livraisons. En 2023, 2 094 avions ont été inscrits sur son carnet de commandes, un record, et 735 avions commerciaux ont été livrés à 87 clients. "Nous avions initialement prévu que l'aviation se redresserait entre 2023 et 2025, mais ce que nous avons vu en 2023, c'est que, parallèlement au marché des monocouloirs, celui des gros-porteurs est revenu bien plus tôt que prévu, et avec vigueur", a déclaré Christian Scherer, le nouveau directeur général de l'activité avions commerciaux d'Airbus. Quelque 4,7 milliards de personnes devraient voyager en 2024, un record historique qui dépasse le niveau pré-pandémique de 4,5 milliards enregistré en 2019, selon les dernières prévisions de l'Association du transport aérien international (IATA). Toutefois, à contre sens de ce mouvement, certains font le choix de ne plus prendre l'avion. Originaire de Suède, le mouvement Flygskam – littéralement, la "honte de prendre l'avion" – gagne du terrain en France. Cette philosophie séduit des voyageurs en quête d'une autre façon de se déplacer et d'un moyen de réduire significativement leur empreinte carbone en ces temps de réchauffement climatique.

We explore how young people have made meaningful careers and lasting change working in the public interest with Sam Simon, editor of “Choosing the Public Interest: Essays From the First Public Interest Research Group” and Lisa Frank, Vice President and D.C. Director at The Public Interest Network and also Executive Director in the Washington Legislative Office at Environment America. Plus, the indomitable Chris Hedges stops by to report on his interviews with college students protesting the genocide in Gaza, which he chronicled in a Substack piece titled “The Nation's Conscience.”Sam Simon is an author, playwright, and attorney who co-founded the Public Interest Research Group with Ralph and the other Nader's Raiders in 1970. He compiled and edited the new book Choosing the Public Interest: Essays From the First Public Interest Research Group.This is something that every one of these themes have and that this movement has had—that the consumer, the user, the student, the pensioner have equal voice in our systems to help create the systems that are intended to benefit them, and not leave that power in the hands of corporate entities and profit-making enterprises. And that idea needs to continue to exist. And I'm glad that the Public Interest Network and PIRGS still thrive on many campuses.Sam SimonWhat I want to come out of this book is that average kids from average backgrounds ended up doing amazing things with their entire lives, because of the opportunity and the vision that they could do that.Sam SimonLisa Frank is Vice President and D.C. Director at The Public Interest Network. She is also Executive Director in the Washington Legislative Office at Environment America, where she directs strategy and staff for federal campaigns. Ms. Frank has won millions of dollars in investments in walking, biking and transit, and has helped develop strategic campaigns to protect America's oceans, forests and public lands from drilling, logging and road-building.The particular types of problems we're focused on at [PIRG] are ones that really have been created in a sense by our success as a country in growing. We're the wealthiest country the world has ever seen. We figured out how to grow more than enough food than we can eat, we produce more than enough clothing than we can wear, certainly more than enough plastic…And all of this abundance is leading to new types of problems…The problems that have either come about because of the progress we've made as a society and now we've got the ability to tackle them, or problems where—clean energy is an example—where there are problems that we newly have the ability to solve.Lisa FrankYou have Congress that passed these five laws that are being violated, with the result of huge death and destruction overseas— and not just in Gaza, but places like Iraq and Libya in the past. And they're talking about students trespassing at their own university, and nonviolent protests? The problem starts in Congress. They're the funders, the enablers, the surrenderers of their constitutional rights of oversight and war-making powers.Ralph NaderChris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is The Greatest Evil Is War.[Students] understand the nature of settler colonial regimes. The expansion or inclusion of students from wider backgrounds than were traditionally there at places like Princeton…has really added a depth and expanded the understanding within the university. So they see what's happening in Gaza, and they draw—rightly— connections to what we did to Native Americans, what the British did in India, what the British did in Kenya, what the French did in Algeria, and of course, they are correct.Chris Hedges[Students] have defied, quite courageously, the administrations of their universities, who are—kind of like the political class—bought and paid for by the Israel lobby, and in particular wealthy donors and the Democratic Party. And that is why these universities have responded to these nonviolent protests the way they have, with such overwhelming and draconian use of force.Chris HedgesIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 5/15/241. The New Republic reports the Federal Trade Commission has filed suit against Scott Sheffield, former CEO of oil and gas giant Pioneer Resources alleging that “voluminous evidence” suggests Sheffield “collaborated with fellow U.S. producers and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in order to keep crude oil prices ‘artificially' high.” As Matt Stoller explains in his newsletter, “after a bitter price war from 2014-2016, [American oil producers] got tired of competing on price with…the OPEC oil cartel, and at some point from 2017-2021, decided to join the cartel and cut supply to the market. This action had the [e]ffect of raising oil prices, costing oil consumers something on the order of $200 billion a year.” Stoller claims that this price-fixing scheme between the OPEC cartel and the American oil oligopoly caused 27% of all inflation-related price increases in 2021. Progressive lawmakers such as Senator Bernie Sanders who tried to raise the alarm about what he dubbed “greedflation” were dismissed at the time, but like so many times before, have been vindicated by the simple fact that American corporate greed always exceeds expectations.2. Tal Mitnick and Sofia Orr, the two Israeli teenagers conscientiously objecting to being drafted into Israel's campaign of terror in Gaza, have sent a letter to President Biden excoriating him for his unconditional support of the Netanyahu regime, per the Intercept. The two heroic peaceniks write “Your unconditional support for [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu's policy of destruction, since the war began, has brought our society to the normalization of carnage and to the trivialization of human lives…It is American diplomatic and material support that prolonged this war for so long. You are responsible for this, alongside our leaders. But while they're interested in prolonging the war for political reasons, you have the power to make it stop.” These kids wrote this letter before reporting for their latest round of prison sentences, which have reached unprecedented lengths. As the article notes, “The refuseniks are not alone in their opposition, nor in the treatment they face. Throughout the war, Israelis have taken to the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to protest the war and Netanyahu's government. This past week, Israeli police arrested and beat protesters and hostage family members calling for an end to the war, just the latest example of Israelis being punished for voicing dissent or sympathy with the people of Gaza.”3. Al Jazeera reports yet another Biden Administration official has made public his resignation over the genocide in Gaza. Army Major Harrison Mann, who resigned in November, posted a letter Monday wherein he expressed “incredible shame and guilt” over the United States' “unqualified support” for Israel's war. Explaining why he waited so long to come forward with the reasoning behind his resignation, Mann wrote “I was afraid. Afraid of violating our professional norms. Afraid of disappointing officers I respect. Afraid you would feel betrayed. I'm sure some of you will feel that way reading this,” yet he noted “At some point – whatever the justification – you're either advancing a policy that enables the mass starvation of children, or you're not.”4. At long last, Egypt has announced its intention to join South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, Al Arabiya reports. In a statement, the Egyptian foreign ministry said this decision comes on the heels of the “worsening severity and scope of Israeli attacks against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip,” likely referring to the terror bombing campaign in Rafah, which the United States had previously identified as a “Red Line” in terms of material support. Egypt has faced international embarrassment over its soft line towards its militaristic neighbor and alleged mistreatment of Palestinian refugees trying to flee into Egypt. The country has also “called on the UN Security Council and countries of influence to take actions to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and halt military operations in Rafah, according to the statement.”5. On Wednesday, May 8th, the State Department report on whether Israel has violated U.S. international law was due to Congress. Instead, it was delayed. As POLITICO reported “The State Department has been working for months on the report, which will issue a determination on whether Israel has violated international humanitarian law since the war in Gaza began. If so, the U.S. would be expected to stop sending Israel military assistance.” When the report was finally released, it stated “it is ‘reasonable to assess' that US weapons have been used by Israeli forces in Gaza in ways that are ‘inconsistent' with international humanitarian law,” but the report stopped short of officially saying Israel violated the law, per CNN. The report goes on to say that investigations into potential violations are ongoing but the US “‘does not have complete information to verify' whether the US weapons ‘were specifically used' in alleged violations of international humanitarian law.” This equivocation in the face of genocide – using American weapons — will leave an ineradicable black mark on the already spotty human rights record of the U.S. State Department.6. Students for Justice in Palestine at Columbia University reports “Columbia…is under federal investigation for anti-Palestinian discrimination and harassment.” According to the group, Palestine Legal is representing four Palestinian students and the group itself. Senior attorney for Palestine Legal Radikah Sainath said in a statement “The law is clear— if universities do not cease their racist crackdowns against Palestinians and their supporters, they will risk losing federal funding.”7. On May 8th, the D.C. Metro Police Department cleared the protest encampment at the George Washington University, using pepper spray and brute force. According to the Associated Press, the police arrested 33 protesters. The AP quoted Moataz Salim, a Palestinian student at GW with family in Gaza, who said the authorities merely “destroyed a beautiful community space that was all about love.” He went on to say “Less than 10 hours ago, I was pepper sprayed and assaulted by police…And why? Because we decided to pitch some tents, hold community activities and learn from each other. We built something incredible. We built something game-changing.” The police broke up the encampment in the wee hours of the morning, just before D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser was slated to appear before hostile Republican lawmakers in Congress, leading many to believe she acted when and how she did out of sheer cowardice and political expediency. After the encampment was cleared, the hearing was canceled. Undeterred, these courageous students have continued to protest their institution's support of Israel's criminal war and per the American University Eagle, have now set up a second encampment. We urge Mayor Bowser not to bow to pressure from bloodthirsty Congressional Republicans a second time.8. The Seattle Times reports “The FAA has opened an investigation into Boeing's 787 Dreamliner after the company disclosed that employees in South Carolina falsified inspection records.” As the paper notes, “This is the latest in a long litany of lapses at Boeing that have come to light under the intense scrutiny of the company's quality oversight since a passenger cabin panel blew out on an Alaska Airlines flight in January.” That is to say nothing of the safety lapses leading to the Lion Air and Ethiopia Airlines crashes in 2019, that resulted in the deaths of all aboard both flights. Incredibly, “This new 787 quality concern is unrelated to the 787 fuselage gaps described as unsafe in an April congressional hearing by Boeing whistleblower Sam Salehpour.” As these critical safety failures and lies continue to come to light, the only question remaining is when is enough enough?9. Bloomberg labor reporter Josh Eidelson reports “The US government [has] raised concerns with Germany about alleged union-busting in Alabama by Mercedes, an unusual move that escalates scrutiny on its handling of the high-stakes union vote.” Mercedes is facing a momentous union election at its Alabama plant, led by the United Autoworkers, fresh off of unionizing the first ever foreign-owned auto plant in the country. Eidelson goes on to say that members of the European Commission have raised the matter with Mercedes as well, raising the heat on the company as the election kicks off. Among other union busting tactics, Labor Notes reports Mercedes has tried enlisting a pastor to tell workers via text “Here in Alabama, community is important, and family is everything. We believe it's important to keep work separate. But there's no denying, a union would have an impact beyond the walls of our plant.”10. Finally, the Chicago Sun-Times is out with a story on the success of Illinois' experiment with ending cash bail for pre-trial detention. As the article puts it, “Despite all the anguish over the Pretrial Fairness Act, [Cook County Judge Charles] Beach says he has been struck by how proceedings have significantly changed for the better in his courtroom. ‘I think we've come a very long way in the right direction…Things are working well.'” This piece describes how “Under the old system of cash bail, Beach — a supervising judge in the pretrial division — was often tasked with setting a dollar figure a person would have to post before being released, a decision that could force a family to skip the rent to post a bond. It was a process that could seem arbitrary, depending on the judge, the time of day and where in the state the hearing was held.” Beach himself goes on to say “There's a sense in the courtroom that taking money out of the equation has leveled the playing field.” The success of this reform should be taken very seriously by other states, particularly New York where Democrats have sought to roll back the state's attempts at ending cash bail following pressure from conservatives. Turns out, it works.This has been Francesco DeSantis. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
Korean Air 747s will become the new doomsday planes, the new ATC rest rules have been delayed by the FAA, Breeze flight attendants voted to join the union, a United jumpseat pilot has upset some Southwest pilots, the GA flyover in DC was a success, Boeing employees were found to have falsified 787 Dreamliner inspection records, Airbus hasn't leveraged an advantage in light of Boeing's woes, and airlines sue the DOT over a new rule requiring the disclosure of fees. Aviation News Former Korean Air 747s Slated To Become USAF Doomsday Planes Korean Air has confirmed the sale of five of its 747-8s to Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), which is building the new Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC) aircraft, also referred to as “doomsday planes.” The USAF states: The E-4B "Nightwatch" serves as the National Airborne Operations Center and is a component of the National Military Command System for the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In case of national emergency or destruction of ground command and control centers, the aircraft provides a highly survivable command, control, and communications center to direct U.S. forces, execute emergency war orders, and coordinate actions by civil authorities. SNC acquired five Boeing 747-8s from Korean Air. The current E-4B aircraft are based on the 747-200. SNC specializes in aircraft modification and integration as well as space technologies. FAA Delaying the Start of ATC Rest Rules The new FAA ATC rest requirements require controllers to have at least 10 hours off between shifts and 12 hours off before a midnight shift. The rule was to have taken effect by mid-July. However, the FAA has delayed those requirements while it talks to the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) union. FAA Air Traffic Organization Chief Operating Officer Timothy Arel hopes to reach a joint rest period agreement for the 2025 schedule "or sooner where feasible." Flight attendants at this Utah airline just voted ‘overwhelmingly' to unionize More than 76% of the roughly 600 Breeze Airways flight attendants voted to join the Association of Flight Attendants. AFA international president Sara Nelson said “We are inspired by their solidarity and thrilled to welcome them to our AFA family. Our labor movement is growing. Everywhere.” See: Breeze Flight Attendants Vote Overwhelmingly to Join the Flight Attendant Union. “Breeze Flight Attendants organized for a union and a contract due to ongoing issues with constantly-changing work rules, substandard pay for time on the job, inadequate hotel accommodations, insufficient work hours, and inconsistent and disrespectful treatment from management.” American Airlines is Issuing ‘Poverty Verification Letters' For New-Hire Flight Attendants Because Their Wages Are So Low Nearly One in Ten Alaska Airlines Flight Attendants Have Experienced Homelessness in the Past Year and Over a Third Have Been Forced to Use a Food Bank Poverty verification letters are being sent to some new-hire flight attendants based in expensive areas.

SECOND BOEING WHISTLEBLOWER DIES UNEXPECTEDLY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Turkey has announced the severing of economic ties with Israel. AC: If this is true, and Turkey really does intend to shut down trade with Israel, this could be a significant development as Turkey is/was a major trade partner for Israel. Additionally, the move appears to include the total restriction of Israel's use of the port of Cehyan, which Israel depends on for oil shipments from Azerbaijan.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. – Last night, H.R. 6090 was overwhelmingly passed by the House of Representatives. The bill now heads to the Senate.California: LACOFD Station 164 in Huntington Park caught fire last night, resulting in a two alarm fire at the fire station. AC: The fire caused significant damage to the fire station, which will be out-of-action for the foreseeable future.Kansas: Boeing whistleblower Joshua Dean has died after being hospitalized in Wichita following a sudden series of infections, pneumonia, and MRSA. Dean was airlifted to Oklahoma City Tuesday night, where he died shortly after. He was 45 years old. AC: Dean was taking part in proceedings against Boeing and Spirit Aerosystems, after being fired by Spirit for exposing safety problems within the assembly process for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Reading the contents of H.R. 6090 (to include the definitions contained within) is extremely recommended for all Americans. This bill will, without question, have the exact opposite intended effect on the desired audience. In addition to strengthening resolve, this bill now causes questions to be asked that can no longer be avoided by average citizens and pundits alike.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

President Joe Biden will propose a boost in tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from China, a move viewed by some as a strategic one designed to increase support among blue-collar voters for the 2024 election. The president will ask the United States Trade Representative to consider tripling the existing Section 301 tariff rate on Chinese steel and aluminum as part of a four-year review. He was expected to announce this request during his Wednesday visit to the United Steelworkers headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
