*Some will soon be able to self-serve themselves through airport security*
While the rise of technology has allowed the aviation industry to incorporate self-service and online speed-ups into many parts of the flying process, the security screening one needs to go through before going to the gate is not a process that many see as something they can do themselves. The idea of travelers scanning their own bags and then checking to see that there's nothing hazardous inside seems like something out of a comedy movie.Related: Hate long lines? One airport is letting people book security screening times But even so, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced that it will be launching a self-service security screening at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas next month. A traveler gets ready to pass his bag through security screening at an airport. Shutterstock Just 'like self-ordering kiosks,' TSA says of new security screening plans "Like self-ordering kiosks at fast food and sit-down restaurants, self-service screening allows passengers in the Trusted Traveler Program to complete the security screening process on their own," Dr. John Fortune, Manager of Screening at Speed Program at the TSA, said in a statement. "Travelers will use passenger and carry-on screening systems at individual consoles or screening lanes themselves, reducing the number of pat downs and bag inspections TSOs need to perform and freeing their time to be reallocated to the busier aspects of screening operations." More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane According to the TSA's descriptions and renderings of the program, travelers will pass through a security screening capsule that uses facial recognition technology to identify the traveler who then passes through a pod where they send any bags, shoes and other through the screening tube and then pass through the full-body scanner with "minimal to no assistance" from a human. Use of TSA staff will be maximized to assist travelers who are having trouble and screen what is passing through the scanner for dangerous items from a computer (that part travelers will not be able to do themselves!).'The airport security experience that we've all come to know could soon look and feel a lot different...' Designed for low-risk travelers who have either TSA PreCheck or CLEAR, the new self-service security system will go through its pilot tests in January 2024 — some of the travelers with CLEAR will be randomly selected to go through the new screening as they go to check in for their flight. Airports slated to receive similar technology in the coming months include Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Phoenix Sky Habror International Airport (PHX), Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Miami International Airport (MIA). Self-serve security technology is currently being developed at lightning speed in order to speed up the screening process and reduce the staff needed as the number of passengers who pass through the country's airports continues to increase — this year, the TSA expects to screen a record 30 million travelers in the month between the end of Thanksgiving and the new year. "We are very excited to see how far these capabilities have come in a relatively short amount of time," TSA Innovation Task Force's Branch Manager Christina Peach said in a statement. "The airport security experience that we've all come to know could soon look and feel a lot different — in a very good way — for both passengers and TSOs."

Richard Branson makes a major investing change to Virgin portfolio
As a millionaire, you might try to impress your friends by taking them for a ride in your Ferrari or reasonably sized yacht in Palm Beach. As a billionaire, however, the best way to impress your peers is by taking them for a ride in your spaceship. Related: Warren Buffett has a genius plan to 'end U.S. deficit in 5 minutes' Increasingly, more and more heavy hitters in the tech and industrial space are getting involved in the great space race of the 21st century. Jeff Bezos famously launches interested celebrities in his Blue Origin space exploration crafts. Elon Musk launches crewed SpaceX rockets into space seemingly every other month. And Richard Branson was actually the first billionaire to fly in his own Virgin Galactic Unity 22 spacecraft. The list of billionaires in space goes on, and each mission has its own advantages and challenges, as any boundary-breaking push into a previously unexplored frontier might. Space exploration is also incredibly cash-intensive. Musk's SpaceX made headlines earlier in 2023 when it reported to have brought in a small net profit margin of just 3.7% ($55 million) in Q1 2023. On the whole, though, these companies are mostly very expensive to run, fraught with red tape and bureaucracy, and still supremely dangerous regardless of crew or mission expertise. Which might be why Richard Branson is prepared to hit pause, at least for now. Richard Branson issues surprising remark about Virgin Galactic British billionaire Richard Branson, who founded Virgin Group and Virgin Galactic, which specializes in space travel and tourism, has seen his latter company through ups and downs. Virgin Galactic IPO-ed in 2019 with a $2.3 billion valuation. At its height in mid 2021, its stock hit approximately $55 per share. But it's since come crashing back down to earth; the stock has hovered around $3 for most of 2023 and now has a market cap of just $843 million.

FALLON / AFP) (Photo by PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images) PATRICK T. FALLON/Getty Images Which is why Branson is turning off the hose, at least for now. "We don’t have the deepest pockets after Covid," he explained in a Financial Times interview in early December. "And Virgin Galactic has got $1 billion — or nearly. It should, I believe, have sufficient funds to do its job on its own." In Virgin's most recent November filing, it reported it had about $1.1 billion in cash and securities. It laid off about 7% of its staff in the same month. Virgin Galactic also announced it would change its monthly space tourism schedule to quarterly. Its next mission, the Galactic 06, is slotted to take off in January 2024. But just because Branson is done funding Galactic for now doesn't mean the company is closing up shop. It's working on its cushier new Delta line, which will present high-paying celebrities and notables to plunge deeper into space by 2026. Branson struck a notably optimistic tone when discussing the future of Galactic — with or without his funding. He claimed the company has "really proved itself and the technology." Galactic's stock is down over 5% since his comments.

These autoworkers just achieved what the UAW couldn't
One of the most controversial items on the list of demands propped up by the United Auto Workers prior to the strike and contract negations with Detroit's Big Three automakers was the implementation of the 32-hour workweek, or the four-day workweek.Related: You'll never guess who designed this beautiful, futuristic sports car Though Shawn Fain's UAW was not able to get the amendment written into their newly ratified contracts with Ford (F) - Get Free Report, General Motors (GM) - Get Free Report and Stellantis (STLA) - Get Free Report, workers at a prestigious and notable automaker across the pond were able to get it. As part of an agreement with the Federazione Impiegati Operai Metallurgici (Italian Federation of Metalworkers, or FIOM) and the Federazione Italiana Metalmeccanici (Italian Federation of Metal Mechanics, or FIM-CISL) labor unions, Italian supercar manufacturer Lamborghini will be introducing a four-day workweek for its production workers. A Lamborghini Huracan STO displayed in Seoul, South Korea Bloomberg/Getty Images In a statement, the unions said that the agreement with the raging bull is "historical," as it is the first in the entire European auto industry to achieve a major reduction in working hours without cutting wages – rather, their newly negotiated deal increased their pay. Four-day work weeks have been adopted in other workplaces around Europe, including the United Kingdom, where they found that employees were more productive, stayed in their jobs, got sick less, while workplaces gained additional staff. "Work less and work better, this is the principle that guided this negotiation, and which is part of a comprehensive reasoning," The FIOM and FIM-CISL said in a statement. View the original article to see embedded media. At Lamborghini, line workers as part of a rotating two-shift schedule will alternate a five-day week with a four day week, which would cut 22 days of work per year. Those in positions with three shift rotations will have a five-day week alternated with two four-day weeks, which will cut 31 days of work per year. In addition to the shortened weeks, the deal includes a 50% increase in the current variable bonuses paid to workers, as well as a one-off bonus of $1,082 to be paid in December. The new agreement with the Volkswagen-owned (VLKAF) - Get Free Report brand will also add 500 new jobs to their workforce. Despite being a major item on the UAW's initial bargaining wish list, the four-day work week was a non-starter with the Detroit 3 automakers, even as the union won historic gains in wages and benefits from the companies.

Jamie Dimon takes aim at Basel III Endgame proposal in Senate Banking Committee hearing
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and its so-called "Basel III Endgame" was the focus of JPMorgan Chase (JPM) - Get Free Report CEO Jamie Dimon's prepared remarks to the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday. The proposal made by the group — which consists of an international consortium of 45 central banks - would increase bank capital requirements by 25%. While Basel III has been in development since at least 2009 following the global financial crisis, in July, the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation published for comment proposed rule changes that would officially make U.S. bank capital rules align with Basel III. Related: The Federal Reserve has devolved into a 'giant hedge fund' But according to Dimon, the proposal would not have prevented the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank earlier this year, and the ripple effect of the passage of such regulation would have "predictable and harmful outcomes for the economy, markets, businesses of all sizes and American households in ways that the Federal Reserve has not studied, contemplated, or shared." If Congress passes the proposal, Dimon predicts that mortgages and small business loans will be harder to get, especially for borrowers in lower income brackets, because the cost of originating and securing loans will rise. Dimon's doomsday scenario also includes visions of lower returns for college and retirement savings, more expensive government infrastructure projects, and beverage companies paying more for their aluminum and passing that on to the consumer, leading to runaway inflation. But the worst sin, in Dimon's view, is that the government seems to not be doing its homework when it comes to the regulations being proposed to govern the banking sector. "I fear that 'propose now, study later' has become a troublesome new theme in Washington. There have been a number of consumer focused products... where virtually no economic analysis had been performed to determine the individual or collective impact of these rules on consumers, small business, lower income families, markets or the economy," he said. Dimon wasn't down on all regulators however, giving a shoutout to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and U.S. Treasury Secretary (and former Fed chair) Janet Yellen, praising them for their "work" on sanctioning Russia following its invasion of Ukraine and "the steps they took during the regional bank turmoil" earlier this year. Dimon was joined on Capitol Hill by fellow banking honchos Charles Scharf, CEO Wells Fargo (WFC) - Get Free Report, Brian Moynihan, CEO Bank of America (BAC) - Get Free Report, Jane Fraser, CEO Citigroup (C) - Get Free Report, Ronald O'Hanley, CEO State Street, Robin Vince, CEO BNY Mellon (DHF) - Get Free Report, David Solomon, CEO Goldman Sachs (GS) - Get Free Report and James Gorman, CEO Morgan Stanley (MS) - Get Free Report.

A flight attendant is once again going viral for a completely wholesome reason
Despite the extreme infrequency with which accidents occur relative to the tens of thousands of flights that land each day without incident, flying is an extremely common fear. Researchers from the University of New England once estimated that 40% of Americans experience some sort of anxiety related to flying while 5% fear flying so much that they cannot do it at all. A misunderstanding of turbulence and the risks it poses (almost none) as well as the inability to stop thinking about "what if" scenarios are often behind the latter.Related: A pilot is going viral for describing what really goes into airplane coffee Last January, a traveler documented a moment in which a flight attendant who held the hand of a passenger with a severe case of aerophobia while talking her through her fears. The Facebook (META) - Get Free Report post received over 700,000 likes due to the wholesome nature of the moment. Delta Air Lines (DAL) - Get Free Report flight attendant Floyd Dean-Shannon also inadvertently went viral as many with flying fears appreciated his act of kindness.Old post of kind flight attendant goes viral again "Check out this gem of a flight attendant that was on our flight from CLT to JFK," Molly Lee wrote. "This woman was so nervous about flying, so he explained every sound and bump and even sat here holding her hand when it still got to be too much for her. @delta , Floyd Dean-Shannon deserves a raise!" More Travel:A new travel term is taking over the internet (and reaching airlines and hotels)The 10 best airline stocks to buy nowAirlines see a new kind of traveler at the front of the plane While initially posted 11 months ago, the post once again started finding new life over the weekend of Dec. 2-3 after it started getting reshared on Indian subreddits and was reposted by news platform Upworthy. "That’s so wonderful!" reads one of the more recent comments on the post from Courtney Walden. "Every time I fly I’m terrified and just close my eyes and every bump, sound, turn, or deceleration I just tell myself 'ok this is how I die.'"Fear flying too? Here is one thing you can do The relatability of the passenger's fear was another reason that the Facebook post went so viral. In spring 2023, a commercial pilot named Kyle launched the “Dial A Pilot" program in which those with flying questions can pay $50 to spend 15 minutes chatting with a pilot. Travelers have been turning to it to ask both technical questions such as "what causes turbulence?" and more psychological ones such as "how do I not fear flying?" The pilots who participate, in turn, often see it as a way to both earn some extra money and remain connected with the travelers they serve in a way that is not always possible while locked away in the cockpit. "Turbulence is certainly the number one, and it comes down to a lack of understanding of why the turbulence is happening and what's causing it," Kyle said in a TikTok video in response to being asked of the most common fears and questions brought up during the calls. On its Instagram page, the pilots behind Dial A Pilot also explain common parts of the flying process such as the meaning of depressurization or why one sometimes hears chimes while in the air.

*Financial literacy is on the rise for high school students*
Back in 1960s and ‘70s, all a high school student really needed to know about personal finance was how to open a checking and savings account. But life has grown a lot more complicated since then. Now youngsters need to be aware of how to invest and how to budget amid a myriad of personal expenses. It took a while for high schools to address the need of their students for personal-finance training. But now it appears that schools are getting religion. A new report from Champlain College “shows significant progress toward the goal of having every high school student in America guaranteed a semester-long course in personal finance,” the college said. That “promises huge gains in many states over the next five years.” The study gives seven states an “A” for their efforts, up from five in the last study (2017). The sturdy seven are Alabama, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia. “A” states require students to take a semester-long personal finance course, or its equivalent.‘Statistics Can Mask Reality’ “This doesn’t seem like much growth, but sometimes statistics mask reality,” says John Pelletier, director of Champlain’s Center for Financial Literacy. No state in the nation had this requirement when the Class of 2007 graduated, he said. When the Class of 2028 graduates, 41 out of 100 students will live in a state with such a requirement. “Tremendous change is on the horizon. States are rapidly passing laws and changing regulations, and we estimate that, assuming full implementation of legislation and policies, we will have 23 grade “A” states by 2028,” Pelletier said. One bonus of personal finance courses is that they can help narrow the racial wealth gap, the report says. “All too often, students from underprivileged backgrounds enter adulthood with insufficient knowledge of personal finance, which continues the cycle of poverty and inequality.” The government is helping, Pelletier said. “Legislators are responding to families who didn’t have financial safety nets during the pandemic, as well as to advocacy by educators, administrators, parents and students.”

Dimon wasn't down on all regulators however, giving a shoutout to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and U.S. Treasury Secretary (and former Fed chair) Janet Yellen, praising them for their "work" on sanctioning Russia following its invasion of Ukraine and "the steps they took during the regional bank turmoil" earlier this year. Dimon was joined on Capitol Hill by fellow banking honchos Charles Scharf, CEO Wells Fargo (WFC) - Get Free Report, Brian Moynihan, CEO Bank of America (BAC) - Get Free Report, Jane Fraser, CEO Citigroup (C) - Get Free Report, Ronald O'Hanley, CEO State Street, Robin Vince, CEO BNY Mellon (DHF) - Get Free Report, David Solomon, CEO Goldman Sachs (GS) - Get Free Report and James Gorman, CEO Morgan Stanley (MS) - Get Free Report.

*A flight attendant is once again going viral for a completely wholesome reason*
Despite the extreme infrequency with which accidents occur relative to the tens of thousands of flights that land each day without incident, flying is an extremely common fear. Researchers from the University of New England once estimated that 40% of Americans experience some sort of anxiety related to flying while 5% fear flying so much that they cannot do it at all. A misunderstanding of turbulence and the risks it poses (almost none) as well as the inability to stop thinking about "what if" scenarios are often behind the latter.Related: A pilot is going viral for describing what really goes into airplane coffee Last January, a traveler documented a moment in which a flight attendant who held the hand of a passenger with a severe case of aerophobia while talking her through her fears. The Facebook (META) - Get Free Report post received over 700,000 likes due to the wholesome nature of the moment. Delta Air Lines (DAL) - Get Free Report flight attendant Floyd Dean-Shannon also inadvertently went viral as many with flying fears appreciated his act of kindness.Old post of kind flight attendant goes viral again "Check out this gem of a flight attendant that was on our flight from CLT to JFK," Molly Lee wrote. "This woman was so nervous about flying, so he explained every sound and bump and even sat here holding her hand when it still got to be too much for her. @delta , Floyd Dean-Shannon deserves a raise!"

"That’s so wonderful!" reads one of the more recent comments on the post from Courtney Walden. "Every time I fly I’m terrified and just close my eyes and every bump, sound, turn, or deceleration I just tell myself 'ok this is how I die.'"Fear flying too? Here is one thing you can do The relatability of the passenger's fear was another reason that the Facebook post went so viral. In spring 2023, a commercial pilot named Kyle launched the “Dial A Pilot" program in which those with flying questions can pay $50 to spend 15 minutes chatting with a pilot. Travelers have been turning to it to ask both technical questions such as "what causes turbulence?" and more psychological ones such as "how do I not fear flying?" The pilots who participate, in turn, often see it as a way to both earn some extra money and remain connected with the travelers they serve in a way that is not always possible while locked away in the cockpit. "Turbulence is certainly the number one, and it comes down to a lack of understanding of why the turbulence is happening and what's causing it," Kyle said in a TikTok video in response to being asked of the most common fears and questions brought up during the calls. On its Instagram page, the pilots behind Dial A Pilot also explain common parts of the flying process such as the meaning of depressurization or why one sometimes hears chimes while in the air.

Financial literacy is on the rise for high school students
Back in 1960s and ‘70s, all a high school student really needed to know about personal finance was how to open a checking and savings account. But life has grown a lot more complicated since then. Now youngsters need to be aware of how to invest and how to budget amid a myriad of personal expenses. It took a while for high schools to address the need of their students for personal-finance training. But now it appears that schools are getting religion. A new report from Champlain College “shows significant progress toward the goal of having every high school student in America guaranteed a semester-long course in personal finance,” the college said. That “promises huge gains in many states over the next five years.” The study gives seven states an “A” for their efforts, up from five in the last study (2017). The sturdy seven are Alabama, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia. “A” states require students to take a semester-long personal finance course, or its equivalent.‘Statistics Can Mask Reality’ “This doesn’t seem like much growth, but sometimes statistics mask reality,” says John Pelletier, director of Champlain’s Center for Financial Literacy. No state in the nation had this requirement when the Class of 2007 graduated, he said. When the Class of 2028 graduates, 41 out of 100 students will live in a state with such a requirement. “Tremendous change is on the horizon. States are rapidly passing laws and changing regulations, and we estimate that, assuming full implementation of legislation and policies, we will have 23 grade “A” states by 2028,” Pelletier said. One bonus of personal finance courses is that they can help narrow the racial wealth gap, the report says. “All too often, students from underprivileged backgrounds enter adulthood with insufficient knowledge of personal finance, which continues the cycle of poverty and inequality.” The government is helping, Pelletier said. “Legislators are responding to families who didn’t have financial safety nets during the pandemic, as well as to advocacy by educators, administrators, parents and students.”
