UNH and Health Stocks - DOWN 20% today - The administration's proposal (via the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS) for Medicare Advantage reimbursement rates to rise by only 0.09% in 2027. This was far below Wall Street expectations of 4-6% (or higher), following a more generous ~5% increase for 2026. - The near-flat rate aims to improve payment accuracy, curb overbilling practices, and protect taxpayers, according to CMS statements, but it sparked widespread concerns about squeezed insurer margins, potential benefit cuts for seniors, reduced plan offerings, or market exits. - UnitedHealth has significant exposure to Medicare Advantage (roughly 30% of national enrollment), making it particularly vulnerable. The proposal, announced late Monday (January 26), led to a broader sell-off in health insurers: - - Humana (HUM) plunged over 20-21%. - - CVS Health (CVS) and Elevance Health (ELV) each dropped around 13-14%. Tech Earnings Microsoft (MSFT) Reports: Wednesday, January 28 (After Market Close) - Wall Street Expectations:  Earnings per share (EPS): about $3.86 and Revenue: about $80 billion - Growth: high teens year over year revenue growth - Investors are focused on Azure and broader cloud growth, particularly how much of that growth is coming from AI related demand. Microsoft has built a reputation for consistent execution, which also means expectations are high. The critical issues will be cloud growth sustainability, margin stability, and how aggressively management plans to keep spending on AI infrastructure. Meta Platforms (META) Reports: Wednesday, January 28 (After Market Close) - Wall Street Expectations:  EPS: about $8.15–$8.20 and Revenue: about $58–$59 billion - Growth: roughly 20–21% year over year revenue growth - Advertising remains the core driver, with AI driven ad targeting continuing to improve returns for advertisers. While topline growth expectations remain strong, investors are closely watching expense growth. The biggest question is whether rising AI and infrastructure spending can be managed without eroding margins or spooking investors, as Meta works through the next phase of its AI strategy. Tesla (TSLA) Reports: Wednesday, January 28 (After Market Close) - Wall Street Expectations:  EPS (non GAAP): about $0.40–$0.45 and Revenue: about $24.5–$25 billion - Trend: earnings expected to be sharply lower than a year ago - Tesla enters earnings with the weakest expectations among the major tech names this week. Vehicle deliveries declined year over year, and automotive margins remain under pressure. While the energy and services segments continue to grow, they are not yet large enough to offset slowing EV demand. - Investors will be far more focused on forward guidance than on the quarter itself—particularly updates on Full Self Driving, robotaxis, and the broader AI roadmap. Apple (AAPL) Reports: Thursday, January 29 (After Market Close) Wall Street Expectations -  EPS: about $2.65–$2.67 and Revenue: about $138 billion Growth: approximately 11–12% year over year revenue growth - This is Apple's most important quarter of the year. Expectations call for record revenue driven by the iPhone 17 cycle and continued Services growth. The focus will be on margins, China demand, and forward guidance—particularly how higher costs (memory prices and tariffs) may impact profitability. Apple typically beats expectations, but the stock reaction will hinge on what management says about growth beyond this quarter. Company Ticker Report Date Est.

Cash flow of $400 million was roughly double what Wall Street was expecting. - Boeing brought in $23.9 billion in the last three months of 2025, a 57% increase over the same period in 2024.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1254: GM takes a multibillion-dollar EV hit but says 2026 looks brighter, white-hat hackers cash in by cracking EV chargers and infotainment systems, and the airline industry gets its annual report cardGeneral Motors closed 2025 with a wider quarterly loss after taking billions in EV and China-related charges. But underneath the headline number, core profits held up, cash flowed in North America, and GM is signaling confidence that 2026 will be stronger.GM reported a $3.3B Q4 net loss after booking more than $7B in charges, largely tied to cutting back EV production and restructuring its China joint venture.Adjusted EBIT rose 13% in the quarter, and GM earned $10.5B in North America for the year, resulting in profit-sharing bonuses up to $10,500 for UAW workers.EV losses are projected to improve by $1B–$1.5B in 2026CEO Mary Barra told shareholders the company sees stability ahead: “We expect the U.S. new vehicle market will continue to be resilient… 2026 should be an even better year for GM.”From EV chargers to infotainment systems, the Pwn2Own Automotive 2025 competition exposed how much of the industry is still very hackable.Hackers earned $886,250 uncovering nearly 50 zero-day vulnerabilities in EV chargers, infotainment systems, and automotive softwareInfotainment systems from Kenwood, Sony, and Alpine were successfully exploited, along with chargers from ChargePoint, Autel, Ubiquiti, Phoenix Contact, WolfBox, and Tesla.Tesla Wall Connectors alone accounted for more than $140,000 in payouts, while the overall winning team, Summoning Team, took home $222,250.Notably, no one attempted to hack a Tesla vehicle, despite a car and large cash prizes on the table.If 2025 felt like a rough year to fly, you're not wrong. But turbulence hit everyone. What separated airlines wasn't the chaos—it was execution. The Wall Street Journal's airline scorecard crowns a new winner and reshuffles the pecking order.(Worst → Best): Frontier (T-last), American (T-last), JetBlue (7th), United (6th), Spirit (5th), Alaska (4th), Delta (3rd), Allegiant (2nd), Southwest (1st).Southwest wins for the first time since 2020, ending Delta's four-year streak with strong all-around operations and industry-low complaints.Explaining Southwest's edge, COO Andrew Watterson said the airline avoids the “easy” option when things go sideways: “It's very easy to cancel a flight. That's the path of least resistance.”This episode of the Automotive State of the Union is brought to you by Amazon Autos: Meet customers where tJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

i6 Group is connecting the fragmented aviation fuel ecosystem-airlines, fuel suppliers, and service providers-through a real-time digital platform that eliminates paper-based processes at over 260 airports worldwide. After launching with British Airways at Heathrow in 2015 and recently closing their Series B with German PE firm Itrium, i6 is proving that even heavily regulated, risk-averse industries can achieve step-function operational improvements through software. In this episode of BUILDERS, Alex Mattos, CEO and Managing Director of i6 Group, breaks down how they navigated decade-long enterprise sales cycles, leveraged strategic customers as Series A investors, and are now building toward profitability to maximize exit optionality. Topics Discussed: The surprising analog nature of aviation fuel operations despite advanced aircraft technology i6's pivot from defense fuel system testing to commercial aviation digitization The multi-party fuel ecosystem: airlines, suppliers, service providers, and logistics chains Strategic approach to landing British Airways and Virgin Atlantic as launch customers Fundamental differences between European fuel optimization vs. US supply chain management models Multi-stakeholder enterprise sales involving fuel teams, flight ops, pilot unions, and CFOs Strategic Series A with customer-investors: British Airways, JetBlue, Shell, and World Fuel Services Series B transition from strategic to PE backing focused on scaling operations and go-to-market Network effects driving compounding value as airport coverage expands Path to self-sustainability and exit strategy considerations GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Target brand DNA, not just budget, for early enterprise customers: i6 deliberately approached Virgin Atlantic because of Richard Branson's reputation for "being entrepreneurial, taking a risk, doing something different." This wasn't naive brand worship—it was strategic targeting based on organizational risk tolerance. When selling complex infrastructure to enterprises pre-product-market fit, a prospect's innovation track record matters more than their budget size. Map your early pipeline based on cultural willingness to partner with startups, not just technical fit. Invest in non-paying reference customers as currency for tier-one deals: Virgin Atlantic became i6's first operational deployment without payment. This wasn't charity—it was strategic capital allocation. The working reference at Virgin directly unlocked British Airways: "we turned up, demonstrated what we were doing...we've done this trial with Virgin and here's the results, and it went really well." For founders selling to conservative enterprises, one live deployment at a credible brand is worth more than a dozen pitch decks. Budget 6-12 months of runway for strategic pilots that generate proof points, not revenue. Create forcing functions with specific follow-up commitments: When British Airways said "if you're still here in six months, come back," most founders would hear soft rejection. Alex heard a calendar commitment and returned "to the day" with results. This precision signaling—we take your requirements seriously enough to track them to the day—separates serious vendors from tire-kickers. When enterprises set conditional bars, treat them as binding contracts and demonstrate execution discipline through exact follow-through. Position for market disruption by maintaining warm enterprise relationships: i6 benefited when an incumbent competitor liquidated, creating urgent procurement needs at British Airways. But luck favors the prepared—they had already established credibility through their Virgin deployment. Maintain enterprise relationships even when deals seem stalled. In concentrated B2B markets, competitive exits, budget releases, and trigger events happen regularly. Your position in the consideration set when disruption hits determines whether you capture the opportunity. Engineer word-of-mouth in concentrated industries through excellence, not marketing: Four months after Heathrow deployment, Dubai airport approached i6 unsolicited: "we've heard great things." In the aviation fuel community—which Alex describes as "surprisingly small"—exceptional execution travels faster than any outbound motion. This changes GTM strategy: in concentrated industries, over-invest in customer success and operational excellence at early deployments rather than spreading thin across many accounts. Your first customers are your sales team. Segment GTM by operational model, not just geography or company size: i6 discovered European airlines optimize for fuel efficiency and real-time decisions, while US airlines (controlling their own supply networks since the late 1980s) prioritize supply chain visibility: "how much fuel did we put in the plane, how much have we had delivered, how much have we got left." These aren't feature preferences—they're fundamentally different jobs-to-be-done driven by market structure. Don't assume global enterprises have unified needs. Segment by operational model and regulatory environment, then customize messaging and roadmap accordingly. Stage investor expertise to match company evolution, not just valuation milestones: Series A brought strategic investors who were actual users (British Airways, JetBlue, Shell, World Fuel Services) for product validation and network access. Series B brought PE firm Itrium for "scaling the business...building and growing our sales and revenue teams." This wasn't opportunistic—it was deliberate staging of capital sources to match capability gaps. Don't optimize fundraising purely on valuation or dilution. Map your next 18-month bottleneck (product validation vs. operational scaling vs. market expansion) and raise from investors who've solved that specific problem. Build for profitability to control your exit timing and terms: Alex's goal is avoiding Series C entirely: "we build and establish a fully self-sustaining business...the business becomes fully sustainable in the next couple of years." This isn't conservatism—it's strategic optionality. Reaching profitability eliminates the forced march toward subsequent rounds, letting you choose between IPO or M&A based on market conditions rather than cash position. For infrastructure plays with long implementation cycles, factor sustainability into your growth model early, even if it moderates topline growth rates. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Episode 154 of the Award Travel 101 podcast features Angie Sparks and moderator Anthony Cave, recorded early due to scheduling, with a lighter news slate and no new card bonuses or trip updates from Angie. The highlight of the week was a reflective community post where members shared their best award travel experiences of 2025, ranging from aspirational first-class flights like Swiss, Emirates, and Singapore Suites to more personal moments such as traveling with loved ones or beginning retirement abroad. In news, the hosts discussed Bilt's new real-time award flight search tool, rumors around a possible “Bilt 2.0” card with mortgage-earning potential, JetBlue's still-active ultra-low 800-point award flights, improving Alaska partner earning rates in 2026, and a Marriott-to-Singapore Airlines status pathway.Anthony shared that while he hasn't picked up new bonuses, he's been maximizing Amex credits and is planning a big winter trip to either Europe or Asia, along with booking some comped cruises. The main topic of the episode was a deep dive into the Choice Privileges rewards program, including the newly introduced Titanium status tier. Key elite benefits include free breakfast at former Radisson properties for Diamond members, a new Titanium award, and the standout perk of being able to book suites for the same number of points as standard rooms. Downsides include resort fees on award stays and inconsistent late checkout.The hosts outlined how Choice status is relatively easy to earn through its two credit cards, which provide automatic status, elite night credits, and strong earning categories. They also highlighted valuable redemption sweet spots—such as hotels in Prague, Vienna, Tokyo, and Auckland for surprisingly low point totals—and favorable transfer ratios from major bank programs. The episode wrapped up with a reminder that Marriott PointSavers awards can only be searched on desktop, making it a useful but often overlooked tool.Episode Links:Bilt Search ToolAlaska Atmos Increased EarningJetBlue 800 point FlightsSingapore Status MatchWhere to Find Us The Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.

This episode: The first real-world activation of the Garmin Autoland system, the E‑7 Wedgetail networked airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) platform, the flu season impact on crews, an airline captain stands up for exhausted flight attendants, and airlines with the largest fleets. Additionally, airport modernization and the Dulles people movers, the infrastructure needed to support the growth of personal air vehicles, and containment systems for lithium battery thermal runaway. Aviation News Autoland Saves King Air, Everyone Safe, FAA, NTSB Launch Probes On December 20, 2025, a Super King Air (N479BR) operated by Buffalo River Aviation experienced an in-flight emergency after departing from Aspen, Colorado (KASE) on a FAR Part 91 reposition flight. No passengers were on board. Climbing through 23,000ft MSL, the aircraft experienced a rapid, uncommanded loss of pressurization. The aircraft was equipped with Garmin Aviation’s latest Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) and Autoland systems, automatically engaged when the cabin altitude exceeded the prescribed safe levels. The system selected a suitable airport per Garmin criteria (KBJC, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport), navigated to it, and landed safely. See: NTSB News Talk Episode 20: Garmin Autoland Emergency Landing: First King Air Save Buffalo River Aviation Statement Regarding Colorado Emergency Landing Image courtesy Garmin. Boeing's $724 million radar plane lives on, despite Pentagon efforts to kill it The E‑7 Wedgetail program is designed to replace the legacy E‑3 Sentry/AWACS-type aircraft (Airborne Warning And Control System) with a modern, networked airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) platform. The E-7 is designed to provide long-range, 360° air and maritime surveillance using an electronically scanned array radar mounted on a Boeing 737 airframe. It's intended to serve as an airborne battle management node, coordinating fighters, surface units, and ground-based air defenses. The Pentagon wants to cancel the purchase of two prototype E-7 Wedgetail jets, but Congress refuses to do so. In fact, Congress provided $847 million in additional funding for the two prototypes. Major Radio Failure Paralyzes Greek Airspace A major failure of aviation radio communications across Greece led to a temporary shutdown of Greek airspace, grounding or diverting flights nationwide for several hours and causing knock-on disruption across Europe. The collapse of radio frequencies in the Athens Flight Information Region (FIR) forced authorities to halt departures and arrivals until communications were partially restored. Travelers stranded in Caribbean as US military operation sends airlines scrambling to add flights A US military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro led to a temporary FAA closure of Caribbean airspace, causing more than 425 flight cancellations and stranding thousands of travelers across islands including Puerto Rico, Anguilla, St. Maarten, and Aruba. Airlines are now restoring service and adding extra capacity, with most commercial restrictions lifted and operations gradually normalizing. Alaska Airlines Captain Sues Boeing Over 737Max Door Plug Incident Alaska Airlines captain Brandon Fisher has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Boeing and subcontractor Spirit AeroSystems, alleging they tried to make him a scapegoat for the January 5, 2024, mid‑air door plug blowout on Flight 1282. He claims Boeing falsely suggested the incident was due to maintenance or crew error, despite later NTSB findings that pointed to Boeing's inadequate training, guidance, and oversight in its manufacturing processes. Fisher says he has suffered “profound physical and mental repercussions” since the blowout, describing ongoing deterioration linked to emotional injury. Alaska Airlines Hits New All Time Record of 540+ Flight Attendants Going Sick With Carrier Struggling to Operate Full Schedule Flight attendants and pilots are calling out sick in great numbers as the flu season takes hold. Alaska Airlines reports that 540 flight attendants are out. Meanwhile, Frontier, JetBlue, and Spirit have activated contingency plans. In an internal memo, Spirit Airlines said, “Our reserve levels are virtually the same as they have been since 2023, but during this holiday, our sick calls have exceeded previous periods by nearly 250% on some days.” Weather delays and ATC shortages have compounded the problem. A memo reviewed by PYOK explained that nearly 20% of the airline's flight attendants called out sick just before the New Year. My Crew Is Done: United Airlines Captain Refuses to Push Tired Flight Attendants And One Passenger Thanks Him For The Delay FAA regulations generally limit a flight attendant's maximum scheduled duty day to 14 hours on domestic flights. With an augmented crew (adding additional flight attendants), duty can be scheduled beyond 14 hours but is capped at 20 hours. This PYOK article relates the observations of a passenger who saw a United Airlines Captain refuse the attempts of the ground crew to keep the timed-out flight attendants on the boarded plane while another cabin crew could be found. With the FAs exiting the plane, the passengers would have to deplane. Top 10 airlines with the biggest fleets in 2026 United Airlines has the largest fleet with 1,050 single-aisle and widebody aircraft. American Airlines follows with 1,023 aircraft, then Delta Airlines (989), Southwest Airlines (810), China Southern Airlines (708), China Eastern Airlines (679), Skywest Airlines (600), Air China (531), Turkish Airlines (399), and Ryanair (349). The data comes from Planespotters.net and individual airlines. It is current as of December 2025. Mentioned Micah was a guest on WBZ, AM Radio 1030 in Boston with Bradley Jay.

The White House says President Trump and his advisers are discussing options for how to acquire Greenland. The self-governing territory of Denmark, a NATO partner, is located in a prime spot to monitor threats to the U.S. and is rich in rare earth minerals. Danish officials have long rejected the proposal. Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, spoke to CBS Mornings about Congress' role following the U.S. operation in Venezuela. He also addressed the Trump administration's comments on Greenland. When asked about the U.S. possibly using military force, he said, "it won't happen under my watch. I will do everything to stop any kind of military takeover of Greenland." Democrats on Capitol Hill welcomed witnesses of the Jan. 6 attack to testify at a public hearing Tuesday and held a vigil honoring the victims. Meanwhile, the White House posted a new website about Jan. 6, calling the rioters "patriotic" and accusing Capitol police of escalating tensions with the crowd. Scott MacFarlane has more. Nick Reiner, the son of Rob and Michele Reiner, is set to be arraigned Wednesday in the killing of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. It comes as details emerge about his time in custody and how his mental health history could play a role in his case. Matt Gutman reports. A new study found potential health concerns with the drinking water on some airlines where you might order coffee or tea. The review was of airplane drinking water stored in onboard tanks, not bottled products. Of the 10 major airlines, Delta scored best, while JetBlue and American were the bottom two carriers. "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner is starring in a new thriller series called "Steal." She plays Zara, who works at a London pension fund investment company when thieves force her to help them steal billions of dollars. She talks to CBS Mornings about the series, how she prepared for the role and rising to fame in "Game of Thrones." The CBS game show "Hollywood Squares" returns Wednesday for its second season with CBS Mornings co-host Nate Burleson as the host. Natalie Morales got an inside look at how the show comes together. On the final installment of "The State of Spirituality with Lisa Ling," CBS Mornings heads to Northern California, where people seeking a break from the loud world go to be in silence for eight days.

Episode 153 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, hosted by Angie Sparks with moderator Cameron Laufer, opens with a community “commiseration” post about painful travel mistakes. Member Ray shared losing 38,000 JetBlue points and cash after accidentally booking a non-refundable Blue Basic fare and missing the DOT cancellation window by just a few hours. This sparked stories from others about points and money lost due to rigid policies or simple stubbornness, reinforcing how unforgiving award travel rules can be. The hosts then covered key news, including the Venture X 100k offer ending January 5, the JetBlue–JAL partnership ending March 31, Chase Freedom/Flex Q1 5x categories, and a disappointing British Airways Avios devaluation that raises both award costs and fees.Angie and Cameron also shared recent card activity and trip updates. Angie is focusing on earning steady points into 2026, timing new applications like the Amex Brilliant, and planning future travel to Switzerland and possibly Australia in 2027. Cameron discussed recent redemptions in Southeast Asia that delivered strong value, progress on large bonuses, and upcoming family travel using Southwest Companion Pass benefits. The main discussion centered on a 2026 points forecast, including which cards they're interested in opening, which ones they plan to close or downgrade, and how shifting fees, benefits, and credit limits are shaping their strategies.The episode wrapped with award travel goals for 2026 and a practical tip of the week: don't let chasing small credits or minor wins consume disproportionate time and energy. Angie noted that some credits, like Instacart, may not be worth the effort, while Cameron echoed this with examples like phone credits. Overall, the episode balanced cautionary tales, forward-looking strategy, and a reminder to keep points and miles fun—and efficient—as 2026 approaches.Episode Links:Venture X Offer EndingJetBlue/JAL Partnership EndingChase Freedom Q1 CategoriesBritish Airways DevaluationWhere to Find Us The Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.

Authorities in Los Angeles will soon consider charges in the killing of iconic film director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer. Politico reports on Reiner’s life as a political activist. Jimmy Lai, a major pro-democracy leader in Hong Kong, was convicted of collusion and sedition. Hong Kong Free Press editor Tom Grundy breaks down the case and its implications. An investigation revealed how major dollar-store chains routinely overcharge customers. The Guardian’s Jocelyn Zuckerman explains how shelf prices don’t always match what shows up at the register. Plus, a JetBlue flight narrowly averted a collision with a U.S. military plane, how the victims of the Brown University shooting are being remembered, and why the man being hailed as a hero after the Bondi Beach attack says he’d do it all again. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

Today's Headlines: As of late Sunday, the suspect in Saturday's mass shooting at Brown University — which killed two people and injured nine — remains at large. Police released new photos after clearing a briefly detained person of interest, while local officials say there's no immediate threat. Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel falsely claimed a suspect had been caught, statements later contradicted by Providence police. In Australia, the death toll from a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney rose to 16, the country's deadliest shooting in nearly 30 years; authorities say a father and son carried out the attack, and ISIS flags were found in their car. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is pledging even stricter gun laws. Back in the U.S., California police are investigating an antisemitic attack on a Jewish family's Hanukkah-decorated home, while federal authorities arrested four men accused of plotting a New Year's Eve terrorist attack. In Los Angeles, the son of director Rob Reiner was arrested on suspicion of murdering Reiner and his wife; Trump blamed the deaths on “Trump derangement syndrome,” drawing backlash. Elsewhere, the administration is arguing in court against providing live ASL interpreters at White House events and against halting construction of Trump's planned White House ballroom. A JetBlue pilot narrowly avoided a midair collision with a U.S. military aircraft in the Caribbean, and President Zelensky says the U.S. has agreed to security guarantees for Ukraine as talks continue.

JetBlue CEO Joanna Geraghty says the company expects to see the benefits in sales and cost efforts next year.

Airbus A320 fuselage panel problems, Thunderbird F-16C crash, ATC prime integrator, hand flying, Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems, Southwest Airlines meltdown fine, solar flares and A320 groundings, airline pay-for-delay compensation, and charging air travelers without REAL ID. Aviation News Airbus prepares A320 inspections as fuselage flaw hits deliveries Airbus engineers are inspecting 628 A320 family exterior fuselage panels for thickness defects. The skin panels have thickness deviations beyond Airbus's design tolerances. The panels were manufactured by a Spanish supplier Sofitec Aero and do not represent a flight‑safety risk at this time. Panels on the upper forward fuselage are the main concern, with deviations having also been found in some rear‑fuselage sections. The affected panels are not serialized, so Airbus must inspect the entire batch of potentially impacted airframes rather than trace specific parts. A320 Family final assembly line in Toulouse. Courtesy Airbus. Sofitec Aero is an aerostructures company that designs, manufactures, and assembles metallic and composite aircraft structures for major OEMs, including Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Bombardier, and several Tier‑1 suppliers such as Spirit AeroSystems and Stelia. It is a privately held firm, founded in 1999. Thunderbirds F-16C Fighting Falcon Crashes in California The 57th Wing Public Affairs Office issued a statement saying, “On December 3, 2025, at approximately 10:45 a.m., a Thunderbird pilot safely ejected from a F-16C Fighting Falcon aircraft during a training mission over controlled airspace in California. The pilot is in stable condition and receiving follow-on care.” The F‑16C went down during a routine training mission in controlled airspace over the Mojave Desert. The crash site is located in a remote desert area near the town of Trona, approximately two miles south of Trona Airport and about 27 miles from Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. Hydrazine: A Significant Hazard Each Time An F-16 Crashes (Or Fires Up The Emergency Power Unit) F‑16s use hydrazine in their emergency power units, so environmental and hazmat teams from Edwards Air Force Base were deployed to the site to evaluate and mitigate any hazardous materials concerns. The F-16's Emergency Power Unit (EPU) is a backup power system that utilizes H-70 (approximately 70% hydrazine and 30% water) to drive a small turbine, supplying emergency hydraulic and electrical power in the event of main engine or generator failure. Hydrazine is used because it is a monopropellant that can rapidly generate mechanical power without external oxygen, but it is also highly toxic, corrosive, and flammable, so its use is tightly controlled and largely limited to legacy or niche applications. US government selects contractor Peraton to lead air traffic control modernisation In Episode 865, we reported that two bids had been received to become the prime integrator for the FAA's project to overhaul the air traffic control system, called the Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS). They were Peraton and Parsons Corporation. Congress had approved $12.5 billion for the project, and the Agency has indicated that an additional $19 billion might be requested. The US Department of Transportation (DOT) selected Peraton as the prime integrator. The national security company is owned by Veritas Capital and headquartered in Reston, Virginia. Flight Global says Peraton is a “provider of technologies for large, complex organisations, offering services including cyber security, systems engineering and modernisation, cloud computing and data management.” According to Veritas, the company specializes in buying and growing companies that sell technology and services to U.S. government agencies in defense, intelligence, civil, and health markets. Examples include acquisitions or control of federal IT and mission‑support businesses such as Northrop Grumman's federal IT arm (combined into Peraton) and health IT and analytics providers serving Medicaid and Defense Health Agency programs. See also, What to know about the air traffic control overhaul and the company FAA hired to manage it. Union Urges ‘Back-to-Basics' Approach to Pilot Skills Captain Wendy Morse is a Boeing 787 captain and serves as first vice president and national safety coordinator at the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). In a recent interview at the Skift Aviation Forum in Fort Worth, she said the union is advocating for pilots to “go back to our roots” and maintain strong manual-flying proficiency throughout their careers. Morse said, “So the biggest thing is [getting] back to basics…We have to maintain a basic level of flying, a basic level of flying skills, and we have to continue to maintain those basics. This business about positive rate, gear up, [and] put on the autopilot is not a good idea. We have to keep flying the airplane so that we're good at it.” Boeing closes Spirit AeroSystems purchase in major supply chain realignment Boeing has completed its takeover of Spirit AeroSystems. Under the $4.7 billion deal, Boeing re-acquires most of Spirit AeroSystems. Airbus picks up parts of Spirit in its supply chain. Operations in Subang, Malaysia, went to Composites Technology Research Malaysia, and the subsidiary Fiber Materials was sold earlier this year to Tex-Tech Industries. Portions of the Belfast, Northern Ireland, operations will continue as an independent subsidiary branded as Short Brothers. Trump administration lets Southwest Airlines off the hook with a multimillion dollar waiver for 2022 holiday travel meltdown In 2023, the Biden administration fined Southwest Airlines $140 million for the 2022 holiday travel meltdown. The US Department of Transportation has now waived the final $11 million installment of that fine. The DOT says Southwest has made worthwhile investments in its operations control center and “the Department is of the view that it is more beneficial for the flying public to give Southwest credit for significantly improving its on-time performance and completion factor.” The 10-day schedule meltdown resulted in 17,000 canceled flights, roughly half of Southwest's holiday season flight schedule. Southwest paid out $600 million in refunds and reimbursements to passengers who were affected. Add in additional labor costs and lost revenue, and the airline reported a $914 million after-tax loss. Aviation News Follow-Up A320 Groundings – There Was No Solar Flare In Visual Approach, Airplane Geeks co-founder Courtney Miller argues that the data does not support the case that the October 30, 2025, uncommanded altitude decrease of a JetBlue A320 was caused by solar radiation. Looking at proton flux data, Courtney says, “We are talking about high-energy protons traveling from the sun to Earth, penetrating the Earth's protective magnetic field, and also penetrating the aircraft's hardware shielding to deliver what's called a Single-Event Upset (SEU). Another term you may have heard for it is a “bit flip”. The proton flux usually arrives associated with a solar flare, but not always. NOAA tracks and reports these events. In the days leading up to the “intense solar radiation” that Airbus referenced as the potential issue in the JetBlue upset, there was no intense solar radiation.

Pay-On-Delay Would Send Airfares Soaring, Says Transport Minister The Australian Federal Transport Minister, Catherine King, told ABC Radio in Sydney that an EU-style “pay-on-delay” compensation scheme would drive up airfares in Australia. The federal government has proposed airline customer protections, and the Minister's comments come after a consultation period ended. EU 261 requires that airlines pay passengers compensation for delays and cancellations within their control. King feels the Australian market is too small to sustain such a measure. “It is costly to administer compensation schemes. Those costs are generally passed on to passengers,” she said. Fliers without a compliant ID will have to pay TSA $45 next year The TSA says that starting in February 1, 2026, air travelers in the U.S. without a REAL ID will be charged a $45 fee. The initially planned $18 fee was raised after officials realized this identification program would cost more than anticipated. The fee applies to travelers 18 and older who are flying domestically without a REAL ID or other accepted form of ID. The non-refundable fee will be required to verify identity through the TSA Confirm.ID system. Confirm.ID replaces TSA's older manual “forgot my ID” procedures. It's a more automated, technology‑assisted process that uses a traveler's biographic and possibly biometric information to verify identity and screen against watchlists. Confirm.ID is meant as a last‑resort option for people who arrive at the checkpoint without a compliant ID, not as a routine substitute for REAL ID or a passport. The fee can be paid online before arriving at the airport. Travelers can also pay online at the airport before entering the security line, but officials said the process may take up to 30 minutes.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITA stranger unknots a scarf and hands it over, and that small act of generosity becomes our compass for a week that's anything but simple. We start with intention and assumption—how a gift can feel both disarming and profound—then follow that thread through a media controversy around the DC pipe bomber suspect, where timing, accuracy, and edited clips collide. If trust is built one detail at a time, what happens when a single, confident detail is wrong?From there, we face a harder scene: a mob storms a Los Angeles synagogue, masked faces and shouted threats turning “rhetoric” into fear. We talk plainly about free speech, intimidation, and the responsibility to protect houses of worship without slipping into partisan reflexes. Permits, enforcement, and consistent standards matter, and so does language that doesn't sand down harm. Safety isn't a talking point; it's a promise communities feel or don't every time they open a door.Then we pivot to the sky, where a JetBlue flight's sudden drop brings a rare claim to the foreground: could cosmic rays flip a bit in an aircraft's systems? We unpack soft-error upsets, avionics redundancy, and why unlikely causes deserve scrutiny without becoming easy headlines. It's a reminder that science, like journalism, demands evidence, nuance, and updates when new facts arrive.Threaded through all of it is a call for discernment: slow down before you share, ask what was known and when, and hold space for complexity. We close on something human—a favorite Christmas song—because culture and memory knit us back together when the world feels sharp. If you're here for clear thinking, empathy, and a few good questions, you're in the right place.If the conversation moves you, follow the show, share this episode with a friend, and leave a quick review with your favorite holiday song.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Xr89f0Q35EE Day 3 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 3, 2025. The court was presented with "chilling" photos of evidence recovered from a dumpster at Brian Walshe's mother's apartment complex, including a hacksaw, hatchet, snips, and hammer. We discuss the defense's attempt to challenge the chain of custody and potential contamination of these items. Thomas Mennio, a witness from JetBlue, confirms Ana Walshe took her last flight on December 30th, 2022, and that multiple subsequent flight reservations in January were all "no-shows." Life insurance testimony reveals Anna Walshe was rated "Select Preferred"—the highest health rating possible—undermining the defense's opening statement that she may have spontaneously passed away in her sleep. We cover the judge's discussion with attorneys regarding whether the jury can hear that Brian Walshe has already pled guilty to improper disposal of a body and lying to police, and why the court is inclined to keep that information out. A look ahead at upcoming testimony concerning text messages between Ana Walshe and her "paramour," and how the prosecution and defense plan to use this to address a potential motive.

Day 3 of the Brian Walshe murder trial revealed the most disturbing evidence yet. A Massachusetts State Police forensic scientist walked the jury through ten bags of garbage pulled from a dumpster near Brian Walshe's mother's apartment—and what investigators found inside tells a story the defense cannot explain away. A hacksaw with red-brown stains on the blade. Slippers soaked in what appeared to be blood with human hair still attached. Pieces of a rug covered in blood and human tissue. A Tyvek suit. Safety goggles. A hatchet. Hydrogen peroxide. Cleaning supplies. This wasn't panic. This was a kit. Prosecutors also showed jurors a photograph of Ana Walshe alive and smiling, lying on a green patterned rug in her living room, playing with one of her sons. Then they showed the jury pieces of that same rug—cut up, stained, and recovered from the trash. The prosecution called a life insurance agent who testified Ana held policies worth $1.25 million with Brian as the sole beneficiary. She received the highest possible health rating from New York Life. This was not a woman about to suddenly die in her sleep. Records custodians from Uber, Lyft, JetBlue, and U.S. Customs confirmed Ana Walshe didn't take a single rideshare, board a single flight, or leave the country after December 30, 2022. Brian told police she left for the airport on New Year's morning. That was a lie—one even his own defense now admits. The family Volvo tested positive for blood in five locations. Sixteen plastic gloves were found in the center console. Two child car seats sat in the back. Tomorrow, prosecutors are expected to call William Fastow—the man Ana was having an affair with, and the man Brian Walshe searched by name on Christmas Day 2022. This is day three. And the evidence is only getting worse. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #CohassetMurder #TrueCrimeNews #WalsheEvidence Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It's Thanksgiving Eve in YFT-land, which means it's officially time to debate the truly important things — like whether peanut butter whiskey counts as a respectable holiday gift and if the college years were actually the peak Thanksgiving era. Brandi reports back from her Vegas F1 adventure, while Wells's schedule has fewer openings than a Costco parking lot on a Saturday. Ya boy is booked.JetBlue somehow earns a ding for going above and beyond (words we never thought we'd say about an airline), a lonely NYC smoker suddenly has hundreds of new friends, and February 2026 may just be the most mathematically perfect month ever created. Brandi drops her hot take on the DWTS drama, and the episode wraps with gratitude shoutouts from both your hosts — especially to YOU, YFT fam.385 episodes in and still going strong. Thankful for our weird, wild, and wonderful listeners. Enjoy your turkey day!

Mark Thompson serves up a whirlwind of headlines—from a California pho restaurant forced to close after a viral video sparked a health department crackdown, to ICE raids hitting car wash shops across the state.

Then Andy Riesmeyer joins Mark for a lively cross-segment to talk movies, TV, and his own adventures in media. A mix of curiosity, cautionary tales, and classic Mark Thompson energy.

RUNDOWN   We're in a foul mood after the Seahawks' ugly loss to the Rams, unpacking Sam Darnold's four-interception stinker, the looming backlash from "I told you so" Darnold haters, and the gut-punch of Gray Zabel's injury. Mitch unleashes a full-on rant about Greg Olsen's broadcast style ("constant blabber"), while Scott notes how different the offense looks without Tory Horton on the field. The mood finally lifts with the news that the Mariners have locked up Josh Naylor on a five-year extension, giving Seattle fans a much-needed jolt of optimism. And then some baseball outrage: Cal Raleigh narrowly finishes second in AL MVP to Aaron Judge. Mitch is joined by Brady Henderson (ESPN) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) to break down the Seahawks' 21–19 loss to the Rams — a game that somehow stayed close despite four interceptions from Sam Darnold and a red-zone drought. Brady calls it Darnold's first true "stinker" as a Seahawk, noting that none of the INTs were flukes, while Jacson credits a defense that "played its balls off" despite brutal field position. The trio discuss the seriousness of rookie guard Gray Zabel's knee injury, the need for Kubiak to scheme around an unstable interior line, and Darnold's growing turnover trend (now 14 on the year). Mitch welcomes back CBS College Football Analyst Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, to unpack a chaotic Week 12 in college football — starting with Rick's victory lap on his perfectly predicted Penn State cover. From there, the guys dive into a jam-packed headline wheel: Lane Kiffin's status as the hottest name on the coaching carousel (and why Rick believes he'll land at Florida), Georgia's dominance over Texas, Oklahoma's big win in Tuscaloosa, Texas A&M's shocking 30–3 comeback, and the SEC's suddenly muddled playoff picture. Mitch revisits Episode Zero — the never-meant-to-be-public "exhibition game" that quietly launched Mitch Unfiltered back in 2018. What begins as a joke about their faux–"Fool in the Rain" theme song turns into a hilarious, chaotic retelling of the infamous team-bus-fire in Auburn, complete with blown tires, smoke pouring into the cabin, players stampeding into a ditch, and the bus erupting in flames seconds after everyone escaped.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Jason Hamilton | Former/Original Co-host of Mitch Unfiltered, UW Basketball Analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Four Picks, One Big Contract, and a Gordon Lightfoot Birthday — Episode 358 Runs the Emotional Gauntlet 15:05 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 20:29 | Bad Clock, Bad Knees, and Bad Ballots: Seahawks Fall Short While Cal Raleigh Gets Robbed in the AL MVP Race 37:09 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Four Picks, One Chance: Seahawks Fall to Rams but Defense Shines Bright 55:28 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Lane Kiffin Heat Check, SEC Bedlam & 300-Yard Burrito Winners — Neuheisel Goes Deep 1:20:56 | GUEST: Jason Hamilton EPISODE ZERO | Flashback | Before Episode 1: The Bus Fire, the Scentsy Pooh Era, and the Birth of Mitch Unfiltered 1:41:17 | Other Stuff Segment: Julio Rodríguez finishes 6th in AL MVP voting and makes first-team All-MLB, Julio's slow first half vs red-hot second half and fans overreacting, Julio's contract MVP/top-10 voting escalators, Shohei Ohtani's unanimous NL MVP and historic MVP + championship combo, Clippers fan jukes arena security during game and heckle about Clippers' defense, No. 1 national hoops recruit Tyran Stokes transferring to Rainier Beach High School, BYU's Kennard Davis Jr arrested on suspicion of DUI near campus, Patrick Beverley arrested on family-assault charge in Texas, Percy Harvin's Gainesville home catching fire (no serious injuries reported), United Airlines flight attendant found 10x over in-flight alcohol limit on SFO–London route, Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale announcing retirement, Bin Laden raid SEAL Robert O'Neill suing two podcasters for $25 million over "lied about the shot" claims RIPs: Kenny Easley – Seahawks Hall of Fame safety, "The Enforcer."
