Air Peace Chairman, Allen Onyeama admits his airline staff violate regulations – NCAA claims
None
Seymour is American’s chief operating officer, which means he oversees flight and airport operations for a carrier that figures to make about 6,500 flights a day between now and New Year’s Day. A West Point graduate and former U.S. Army infantry officer, Seymour joined America West Airlines in 1999. America West became US Airways, then merged with American in 2013. Seymour has held a variety of operations-related jobs and was promoted to his current post in 2020. Seymour spoke with The Associated Press recently about managing huge passenger numbers during the holidays and preventing people from getting on a plane before their boarding group is called. The answers have been edited for length and clarity. Q. How are you going to make sure American flights run on time during the holidays? A: There are many thousands of people running the airline every day. My job, honestly, over this period isn’t so much about managing the chaos, it’s managing really all the challenges, and we’ll call it the headwinds that come our way. And I would say the vast majority of those are the uncontrollable. Q. Such as? A: What’s going on the (air-traffic control) system around us. If there weren’t weather that we have to deal with and other complications that sometimes arise, running an airline would be pretty easy. Q. How will you recover from disruptions? A: Before the pandemic, we would have a big storm in the DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth) area or the Charlotte (North Carolina) area, and it would take us a couple of days (to recover). We set about coming through the pandemic and coming out that we are going to recover better than any carrier out there. Q. And how will you do that? A: By anticipating the weather. My team looks out constantly at what the weather is, looking at multiple weather forecasts to understand what’s coming, what could it do, and how are we prepared for that. Q. How much do you learn from big cancellation events? And how much do you learn from meltdowns at other airlines? A: The team here, they do an after-action review. We will look at it and say, ‘What could we have done better?’ And we archive that information. Now, to your other question about competitors. I’m not inside the other competitors’ operations centers and looking at how they do that. Their networks are set up differently than ours. We do ask ourselves, ‘OK, if something similar were to happen to us, what would we do?’ Q. With Christmas travel, what what are the big things you’re looking for? Is it weather? Air-traffic control problems? A: Weather is always a tough thing to predict. That’s really going to be one of the largest things because it has the potential for having the most impact. Controller-wise, we stay in touch with (the Federal Aviation Administration). We have a team out here that is in constant communication with the FAA, looking at what’s happening in the system, and we’re building contingency plans if they think there are going to be some challenges. Q. You need to deice planes. A: The only difference between summer and now is we have to deal with winter weather in some locations. So, deicing. But we’re ready for that. The technology we have right now with the deicing vehicles ... we’ve been able to reduce our throughput time on deicing by half and still meeting all the requirements that we need to in terms of adequately deicing the aircraft, but having one person do it. Q. Are the delays in deliveries of new planes from Boeing affecting your holiday season planning? A: No. Boeing needs to be successful, they need to be able to deliver quality aircraft, but we haven’t built our schedule for the holiday period that is dependent on getting any deliveries. We have enough buffer built in. Q. American recently expanded the rollout of technology to catch people who try to board the plane before their boarding group is called. What went into that decision? A: Our frequent and premium travelers look at (the technology to catch line-jumpers) as a benefit of being loyal to American Airlines. It’s a huge plus for our gate agents because they do like order.Stocks closed higher on Wall Street, giving the market its fifth gain in a row and notching another record high for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% Friday. The Dow added 1%, and the Nasdaq composite tacked on 0.2%. Retailers had some of the biggest gains. Gap soared after reporting quarterly results that easily beat analysts’ estimates. EchoStar fell after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company’s Dish Network unit. European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. Crude oil prices gained ground. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. Stocks rose on Wall Street in afternoon trading Friday, keeping the market on track for its fifth straight gain. The S&P 500 was up 0.2% and was solidly on track for a weekly gain that will erase most of last week's loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 333 points, or 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite was essentially flat with a gain of less than 0.1% as of 3:07 p.m. Eastern. Markets have been volatile over the last few weeks, losing ground in the runup to elections in November, then surging following Donald Trump's victory, before falling again. The S&P 500 has been steadily rising throughout this week to within close range of its record. “Overall, market behavior has normalized following an intense few weeks,” said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide, in a statement. Several retailers jumped after giving Wall Street encouraging financial updates. Gap soared 10.8% after handily beating analysts' third-quarter earnings and revenue expectations, while raising its own revenue forecast for the year. Discount retailer Ross Stores rose 1.5% after raising its earnings forecast for the year. EchoStar fell 2.4% after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company's Dish Network unit. Smaller company stocks had some of the biggest gains. The Russell 2000 index rose 1.8%. A majority of stocks in the S&P 500 were gaining ground, but those gains were kept in check by slumps for several big technology companies. Nvidia fell 3.3%. Its pricey valuation makes it among the heaviest influences on whether the broader market gains or loses ground. The company has grown into a nearly $3.6 trillion behemoth because of demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Intuit, which makes TurboTax and other accounting software, fell 5.6%. It gave investors a quarterly earnings forecast that fell short of analysts’ expectations. Facebook owner Meta Platforms fell 0.8% following a decision by the Supreme Court to allow a multibillion-dollar class action investors’ lawsuit to proceed against the company. It stems from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm. European markets closed mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Crude oil prices rose. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.41% from 4.42% late Thursday. In the crypto market, Bitcoin hovered around $99,000, according to CoinDesk. It has more than doubled this year and first surpassed the $99,000 level on Thursday. Retailers remained a big focus for investors this week amid close scrutiny on consumer spending habits headed into the holiday shopping season. Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, reported a quarter of strong sales and gave investors an encouraging financial forecast. Target, though, reported weaker earnings than analysts' expected and its forecast disappointed Wall Street. Consumer spending has fueled economic growth, despite a persistent squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. Inflation has been easing and the Federal Reserve has started trimming its benchmark interest rates. That is likely to help relieve pressure on consumers, but any major shift in spending could prompt the Fed to reassess its path ahead on interest rates. Also, any big reversals on the rate of inflation could curtail spending. Consumer sentiment remains strong, according to the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index. It revised its latest figure for November to 71.8 from an initial reading of 73 earlier this month, though economists expected a slight increase. It's still up from 70.5 in October. The survey also showed that consumers' inflation expectations for the year ahead fell slightly to 2.6%, which is the lowest reading since December of 2020. Wall Street will get another update on how consumers feel when the business group The Conference Board releases its monthly consumer confidence survey on Tuesday. A key inflation update will come on Wednesday when the U.S. releases its October personal consumption expenditures index. The PCE is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation and this will be the last PCE reading prior to the central bank's meeting in December. Damian J. Troise And Alex Veiga, The Associated Press
West Ham line up Julen Lopetegui replacement as ex-Real Madrid boss feels the heat
COLUMBIA — Start booking. South Carolina already knew who and where it would play during the 2025 football season and on Wednesday, finally discovered the when. The SEC released the full 2025 schedule so fans could start getting hotels, rental cars ... and flights, of which there stand to be many. The handy guide is that USC will play S.C. State, Coastal Carolina and Clemson at Williams-Brice Stadium, and will start the season on a Sunday. The Gamecocks play Virginia Tech, Shane Beamer's alma mater, on Aug. 31 in Atlanta. 6 Gamecocks named to coaches' All-SEC football team In the SEC, USC plays everyone it played in 2024, but at the opposite field. That means lengthy trips to Baton Rouge, La.; College Station, Texas; Oxford, Miss.; and the other Columbia. Like 2024, there will be two bye weeks (USC's are on Oct. 4 and Nov. 8). The Gamecocks will open SEC play with a home game for the first time since 2020 when Vanderbilt visits on Sept. 13. The Gamecocks will host Oklahoma on Oct. 18, which is the next-to-last day of the South Carolina State Fair, held as always at the Fairgrounds across a parking lot from Williams-Brice Stadium.

Social Democrats deputy leader ‘very angry’ about Eoin Hayes' misleading statementsTwo arrested for allegedly flying drone ‘dangerously close’ to Boston airport
Curtis Jones one of five Liverpool stars sharpened by Arne Slot and his new adventurous Total Football philosophyArt Cashin, UBS' director of floor operations at the New York Stock Exchange who spent more than 60 years on Wall Street, has died aged 83. "It is with a heavy heart that I inform you of the passing of Arthur Cashin, Jr., a true giant in our industry, highly regarded market pundit," Bill Carroll, head of sales and development at UBS Wealth Management USA, said in a memo to employees which was seen by Reuters on Monday. Cashin, dubbed 'Wall Street's version of Walter Cronkite' by The Washington Post, was a regular on CNBC, delivering stock market commentary and analysis to the business news channel's viewers for more than 25 years. He began his business career at Thomson McKinnon in 1959. In 1964, at age 23, he became a member of the NYSE and a partner of P.R. Herzig & Co. In 1980, Cashin joined investment bank PaineWebber and managed their floor operation. PaineWebber was acquired by UBS in 2000. At that time, the NYSE floor was the hub for the vast majority of all trading activity in the United States. Cashin was one of three senior executive floor governors and also served as a member of the Bond Club of New York. He was also part of the high-IQ society Mensa. In addition to his role at UBS, he is renowned for his daily newsletter, Cashin's Comments, which has been published for over 25 years and reaches more than 100,000 readers daily. He has also been a regular on CNBC's Art Cashin on the Markets, a segment airing several times a week, for more than two decades. "It's fair to say that over this time, Art Cashin became a household name for investors across the country, who benefited from his savvy insight on the markets, good humor and wit, while being one of UBS's strongest brand ambassadors," the memo said. Cashin was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1941, according to CNBC, which first reported on his death. CNBC did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Cashin's family could not be reached for comment. REUTERSLaw targets 'weaponizing' of remote control GPS in vehicles against domestic violence survivors
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – Former ANC president and current Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) party founder Jacob Zuma has finally been expelled from the organisation he once led. This after ANC’s national disciplinary committee of appeal upheld the decision of the party’s national disciplinary appeal to expel Zuma from the party. Zuma launched the breakaway party last December while claiming to still be a member of the ANC, a strategy which paid off at the polls on 29 May when MK party took 14% of the vote — and the parliamentary majority the ANC had held since 1994. Zuma was suspended and charged in terms of the ANC’s constitution, with the committee finding against him and expelling him last month, a decision which he appealed. ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri said in a statement on Friday afternoon that Zuma’s behaviour had been the “highest form of ill-discipline” and had been a “direct attack on the historical mission of the ANC”. “By establishing and leading a rival political party, he abandoned the core values of organisational loyalty and collective accountability, converting himself into a tool for destabilisation,” she said. “As a former president of the ANC, Mr Zuma was expected to embody the highest standards of disciplined leadership and advanced cadres who serve as guides and inspiration for all members of our movement and society. “Instead, his actions have undermined the unity and cohesion of the movement at a time when it is critical to consolidate and push forward with organisational renewal and confront the pressing challenges facing South Africa,” she said. Zuma’s “severe breach” of the ANC’s organisational discipline had necessitated his expulsion to safeguard its integrity and unity. The ANC will never permit an individual, regardless of stature or historical contribution, to undermine its mission to build a non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous society,” Bhengu-Motsiri said. She said the expulsion reaffirmed the ANC’s commitment to revolutionary morality and discipline and to democratic centralism. “This decision must serve as a reminder that no individual is greater than the movement, and that the ANC strength lies in its collective leadership and unwavering dedication to the aspirations of the people,” she said. Zuma, who served two terms as ANC president and president of the country until his recall by the party in February 2018, has argued that he remains a party member and that his formation of the MK party is aimed at “saving” it from its current leadership. This despite the fact that the MK party is the official opposition in parliament and in KwaZulu-Natal. MK party spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndhlela did not respond to a request for comment from the Mail & Guardian. Mail & GuardianNone
Indian IT services hiring to remain low till growth momentum picks up by H2 FY26: ICRA NEW DELHI: Hiring in the Indian IT services industry is expected to remain low-key in the near term until the growth momentum picks up by H2 FY2026, according to ICRA. The formation of the new government in the US may create some policy uncertainty in the immediate term and thus will remain monitorable, it said. Lower discretionary tech spends by customers in key markets of the US and Europe, amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment, has led to moderation in demand for Indian IT services companies over the last 6-8 quarters. Factors such as lower employee attrition and a focus on increasing employee utilisation also contributed to the slowdown in hiring. “While there has been some recovery in Q2 FY2025, ICRA expects hiring to remain low in the near term until the growth momentum picks up by H2 FY2026,” the agency said. Moderation in demand coupled with the increase in utilisation of excess manpower added during FY2022-FY2023 exerted pressure on hiring by IT services companies through FY2024 and Q1 FY2025. Coupled with an increase in attrition levels, this also led to negative net employee addition for the seven quarters till Q1 FY2025 for ICRA’s sample set companies, which includes HCL Technologies, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra and Wipro Ltd. As Gen AI makes rapid inroads, all leading IT services companies are upskilling their employees as they explore AI-driven business opportunities. This is likely to lead to an overall moderation in fresh hiring, as compared to pre-Covid levels, it predicted. ICRA said that the impact of higher adoption of Generative AI (Gen AI) on improving employee productivity is expected to be visible over the next few years. Average revenue in USD per employee for the sample set has largely been stable at around USD 50,000 over FY2020-FY2024. However, this metric will show steady improvement if assessed on revenue in rupee terms due to depreciation of the rupee against some key foreign currencies over this period. The last twelve-month (LTM) attrition rate had peaked at about 23 per cent during Q4 FY2022 and Q1 FY2023, led by significant hiring and subsequent demand-supply mismatch. However, it sequentially tapered with lower hiring by IT services companies amid moderation in demand in key markets of the US and Europe. The LTM attrition rate for ICRA’s sample set companies started stabilising from Q3 FY2024 at about 13 per cent, much lower than the pre-pandemic level of about 18 per cent in Q1 FY2020 for the sample set companies.

The NYSE Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on the NYSE. The NYSE Notice informed the Company that, under NYSE rules, the Company has six months from November 18, 2024 , to regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards by filing the Form 10-Q with the SEC.

The snowflake does not fall far from the tree. “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Lisa Barlow says her son Henry is upset about how he’s being portrayed on the current season of the Bravo reality series. The soon-to-be 13-year-old was so bothered by one particular scene, in fact, that he took it up with showrunners. “He felt like he got bad editing this season,” Barlow exclusively told Page Six at “DIRECTV’s Christmas at Kathy’s” Tuesday night at Kathy Hilton’s private residence in Los Angeles. “He’s like, ‘Why did they have Angie [Katsanevas] say I game all the time and then they showed me gaming?'” Earlier in Season 5, Katsanevas — who was also at Hilton’s holiday soirée — accused Barlow of letting her youngest son “game ’til 2 in the morning,” after which cameras cut to him playing video games in his bedroom. Barlow — who shares both Henry and Jack, 20, with her husband, John Barlow — added of the preteen, “Yeah, he talked to production about it. ... He’s just like, ‘You did me dirty.'” The Vida Tequila founder, 49, called Henry “funny” and “so cute,” sharing that he was “with [her] in LA.” “I wish he were at this party, but he would take over. He would take the mic from me; he’d be singing, not me. Henry is everything,” she explained. “His birthday’s Friday and mine’s Saturday, and we’re both total [Sagittariuses],” she said, divulging that he’s already picked out some early birthday presents. “We got an Hermès blanket for his room ... and then he wanted cologne. And we’re gonna get him another cologne,” Lisa told us. She and John are also throwing their “resilient, cool kid” an “amazing” party with his friends. “I feel like we’re the exact same person; he’s just a 13-year-old boy,” the Bravolebrity gushed after we noted that her second-born seems like her “mini-me.” “My poor husband! He’s stuck with both of us,” she quipped, adding that “Henry gives advice on business, who [her] friends are, what they should and shouldn’t be saying. He listens to conversations, like, ‘Why did she say that? You should ask her why she said that.'” Lisa referred to Henry as “wise beyond his years” and described him as “an old man in this little cool body.” How to watch new episodes of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” live: The only way to watch “The Real Housewives” without cable is with a live TV streaming service.

Brendan Rodgers amused by talk of Celtic 'panic' as he reflects on glory yearProgram Announced at Rutgers Men's Basketball Game as Part of LG's Life's Good Night PISCATAWAY, N.J. , Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA , a proud partner of Rutgers Athletics, announced the creation of two positions in its annual LG Summer Internship Program exclusively for Rutgers student-athletes. The announcement was made at a recent Rutgers men's basketball game, which also featured a series of Life's Good giveaways for fans, including LG TVs and LG XBOOM Audio products. As part of the company's commitment to fostering young talent, interns will have the chance to work alongside experienced professionals, gaining exposure to various areas of LG's organizations and making important contributions to real-world projects as part of the internship program. "LG is a very meaningful and impactful place to work," said Audrey Cha , a junior at Rutgers and former LG brand marketing summer intern who was on hand to help make the announcement. "I'm really passionate about the field of marketing, and my internship allowed me to experience a lot of real-world work in my field. I was also able to make a lot of connections that I've maintained even after my internship ended," she added. LG also added multiple Life's Good moments throughout the game for the fans. As part of the company's sponsorship, LG brought "Life's Good" to center court at Jersey Mike's Arena with a friendly head-to-head competition and product giveaways. Following the game, fans enjoyed a meet-and-greet with Rutgers guard and team captain, Jeremiah Williams . "LG recognizes the importance of investing in the next generation of leaders, and our internship program provides a unique opportunity for students to gain enriching experiences in a variety of fields in a dynamic corporate environment," said Louis Giagrande , LG USA head of marketing.
