Jerry Clark+FollowWhy Boeing's Back in the Pilot SeatCoffee break scoop: Boeing’s finally catching a break while Airbus is stuck in a recall mess. Airbus had to recall a ton of A320 jets for urgent fixes, and now they’ve got new quality issues.

If you’re watching airline stocks or planning a trip, this could mean fewer delays and maybe even a comeback for Boeing. Sometimes, being the backup pays off! #Business #Industry #Boeing20Share

Alexandria Simmons+FollowTyson’s Nebraska plant closure rocks the heartlandNearly 5,000 jobs disappeared overnight as Tyson Foods shut down Nebraska’s largest beef plant, leaving an entire town and its economy reeling.

Local ranchers and grain farmers are scrambling to find new buyers, and small businesses are bracing for the fallout. The $426 million loss Tyson took on this facility shows how quickly a corporate decision can ripple through thousands of lives. How should Nebraska—and other towns like it—prepare for shocks like this? #Business #Industry #Nebraska00Share
Brooke Martin+FollowTrucking Schools Get the Boot: What It MeansGrab your coffee—here’s a quick scoop: The government just kicked nearly half of all trucking schools off the approved list for not meeting safety standards. Translation? If you’re thinking about a career on the road, expect stricter rules and fewer shortcuts. Plus, over 7,000 drivers lost their licenses for not speaking enough English. The days of anyone hopping in a big rig are over—safer roads ahead, but maybe longer waits for your next online order! #Business #Industry #TruckingNews00Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowStranded at the Gate? Here’s Your Hotel HackEver had your flight canceled while you’re already at the gate? Here’s the scoop: In the U.S., airlines don’t have to give you a free hotel unless the cancellation is their fault (think mechanical issues, not weather). Always ask if it’s a “controllable” delay and check the airline’s customer service plan. If you paid with a premium credit card, you might get reimbursed for your hotel anyway. Screenshot everything and don’t be shy about asking for help—nicely! #Business #Industry #TravelTips00Share
