Flair Airlines Commits To Improving Customer Service
Flair Airlines has the worst complaint record of any major Canadian carrier, and it's finally responding — I covered the launch of its new dedicated customer service team, and what's driving the airline's attempt to turn its reputation around after a rough year of delays, cancellations, and seized aircraft.
Gender Parity Is Stalling: 131 Years to Close the Gap with Men
Women make up 80% of travel advisors, yet the industry is still waiting on economic gender parity along with everyone else — new World Economic Forum data suggests it could take until 2154. I broke down what's driving the stall and why it matters for a sector this female-dominated.
