AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Labor Disruption: WestJet’s 4,400 flight attendants walked off the job after contract talks with CUPE failed, grounding hundreds of flights and leaving travelers scrambling for refunds or rebooking. Aviation & Alaska: Alaska Airlines removed evangelist Whitney Lynn from a flight after a delay, citing safety concerns as she preached to passengers—another reminder that airline rules can collide with public-facing influencers. Legal Fight: An Alaska bush pilot, Kenneth Jouppi, is set for a US Supreme Court hearing over whether the state can seize his Cessna after a misdemeanor alcohol-transport conviction tied to a passenger’s beer. Energy & Policy: The US government moved toward deep-sea mining by planning a lease sale around American Samoa, a step opponents say accelerates ecosystem risk. Food & Local Economy: Alaska’s farmers markets are getting a spotlight during National Farmers Market Week, underscoring their role in local food access and small-producer revenue. Risk Mapping: A new national landslide exposure study estimates 6.5 million Americans live in landslide-prone areas, raising stakes for housing and recovery planning.
