Holiday Hauls: Airlines, Apple, & Meta 12/26/23

7.5 million travelers are hitting the skies between Christmas and New Years this year, passing the pre-pandemic record of 7.2 million. International president of the Association of Flight Attendants Sara Nelson discusses the pilots and flight attendants renegotiating contracts and managing unruly passengers during a busy holiday schedule. And the “she-cession” may be over, but Yale Lecturer and journalist Joanne Lipman warns that working women may lose many of their workplace participation gains to rigid back-to-office mandates. Plus, 2023’s market year was a roller coaster, OpenAI is aiming to raise more funds at an estimated valuation of $100 billion, holiday returns just got a little trickier, and Meta might have beat Apple under the trees and menorahs this year, as the Apple Watch ban takes effect.  Sara Nelson     20:20Joanne Lipman   28:39 In this episode:Joanne Lipman, @joannelipmanSara Nelson, @FlyingWithSaraContessa Brewer, @contessabrewerLeslie Picker, @LesliePickerSteve Liesman, @steveliesmanKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
