Majoritatea călătorilor care zboară cu United Airlines vor plăti cu 10 dolari mai mult pentru a-și înregistra bagajele începând de vineri, în urma creșterii costurilor cu combustibilul aviatic cauzate de războiul din Orientul Mijlociu. Primul bagaj înregistrat va costa acum 45 de dolari pentru zborurile interne în Statele Unite, Mexic, Canada și America Latină, conform apnews.com.

👉 United Airlines crește tarifele pentru bagaje și justifică majorarea

United Airlines a anunțat că va crește prețurile pentru bagaje, prima modificare a tarifelor după doi ani. Conform declarațiilor lui Scott Kirby, CEO-ul United, costurile cu combustibilul au crescut de la începutul conflictului din 28 februarie, generând o creștere de aproximativ 400 de milioane de dolari la costurile de operare. Cei mai mulți pasageri United vor plăti acum 45 de dolari pentru primul bagaj, 55 de dolari pentru al doilea și 5 dolari suplimentari pentru bagajele înregistrate cu mai puțin de 24 de ore înainte de plecare.

Unii pasageri vor beneficia încă de un primul bagaj gratuit, inclusiv deținătorii de carduri co-branded, membri ai programelor de loialitate, personal militar activ și călători în cabine premium. United se alătură, de asemenea, JetBlue, care a crescut tarifele pentru bagaje în această săptămână. JetBlue a declarat că perceperea unor costuri suplimentare pentru serviciile opționale utilizate de clienți selectați ajută la menținerea tarifelor de bază competitive.

👉 United introduce o nouă structură tarifară pentru cabinele premium

United a anunțat luni că va introduce o nouă structură de tarife pentru cabinele premium, împărțind locurile în trei categorii diferite. Cea mai ieftină opțiune, numită tarif de bază, va avea cel mai mic preț inițial, dar va elimina unele extra așteptate de călători, cum ar fi selecția anticipată a locurilor și rambursările. Opțiunea medie, cunoscută sub numele de standard, va adăuga înapoi unele dintre beneficiile comune, cum ar fi selecția locurilor și bagaje suplimentare. La înalt, categoria flexibilă va include toate aceste caracteristici și va fi complet rambursabilă, oferind cea mai mare flexibilitate pentru călătorii dispuși să plătească mai mult.

United a anunțat că va implementa această nouă structură tarifară în piețe selectate în această lună și va extinde utilizarea ei pe mai multe rute în cursul anului.

Arizona students boo former Google CEO Eric Schmidt as he talks about AI during graduation speech - Business Insider

Boos rang out during the University of Arizona's graduation ceremony on Friday as former Google CEO Eric Schmidt spoke about a topic that is maybe a little sensitive for those about to enter the workforce: AI.While other speakers received cheers and applause, Schmidt's speech about the impact of modern technology on society struck a nerve."We thought that we were adding stones to a cathedral of knowledge that humanity had been constructing for centuries, but the world we built turned out to be more complicated than we anticipated," Schmidt said, referring to his own contributions to modernization. "The same tools that connect us also isolate us.

'Big Short' investor Michael Burry sells GameStop stake, shorts Palantir stock - Business Insider

Michael Burry says he's given up on GameStop — and ramped up his bet against Palantir."I sold my entire GME position," the investor of "The Big Short" fame wrote in a Monday post on his Substack, adding that it was the first full position he's exited since he pivoted from running a hedge fund to writing online late last year."Any which way I sliced it, the Instant Berkshire thesis was never compatible with >5x Debt/EBITDA, never ok with interest coverage under 4.0x," he wrote."Instant Berkshire" is Burry's idea for GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen to emulate Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway by "creating a portfolio of great companies that generate excess capital or float for additional investment beyond what is required for their growth."Burry wrote in a late April post that GameStop, JD.com, and Molina Healthcare were his three largest positions, and together made up well over a third of his personal stock portfolio.In his late-Monday post, Burry laid out in a graphic why Cohen's $56 billion cash-and-stock offer for eBay is a far cry from the deal he envisioned for GameStop.He estimated the proposed acquisition would burden the combined business with a net-debt-to-profit ratio of 5.2 times, and its yearly profits would only be 2.5 times its annual interest expense.Moreover, he projected that if eBay pushes back and demands $65 billion, then the business could wind up with 7.7 times leverage and a profit-to-interest ratio of 1.2 to 1.5 times.Burry said in an earlier post on Monday that leverage above 5 times was a "knife edge," and 7.7 times was "a level of debt that borders on distressed."In his late-Monday post, Burry said that he "opened an outright short" on Palantir ahead of its Monday earnings, adding that he's "shorting the company because it is worth low double digits at best."Burry said he's not only betting against Palantir because he believes it's overvalued: "I am shorting the business model. I am shorting the entire premise upon which the company rests.
