• Turbulence Alert

TRIPLE squeeze marks hard times for national carrier Malaysia Airlines. IT'S A TERRIBLE TIME FOR the aviation industry worldwide. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has revised its forecast for the global airline industry to lose more than US$ 9 billion this year and has projected for passenger and cargo demand to fall sharply as well. And yet the wild cards are still there. Oil prices have been rising steeply for the last few months again, causing a squeeze on margins, with the worst yet to come with the threat of the recent Influenza A (H1N1) virus outbreak. It's thus not a surprise that airline operators worldwide are now facing some of their toughest times with the prospect of survival a challenge for the weaker ones.

• U.S. Court of Appeals 8th Circuit Case Summaries: January 6, 2012

Arbitration Collective Bargaining AgreementFMLA WaiverAir Carrier Where a pilot brought claims under the Family Medical Leave Act and a state civil rights statute against his air-carrier employer, the employer is an air carrier so the dispute is governed by the Railway Labor Act, and the district court properly dismissed the claims as subject to a mandatory arbitration provision in the collective bargaining agreement between the plaintiff's union and the air carrier because the plaintiff did not show that the agreement purported to waive the plaintiff's FMLA claims. Judgment is affirmed. Thompson v. Air Transport International Limited Liability Company (MLW No. 63134/Case No. 11-1229 - 6 pages) (U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit, Shepherd, J.)
