Historic companies always go through a make/break moment in time. Feeling for team @blueorigin , glad everyone is safe, and have no doubt the company will be stronger and better from this day forward.

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.

Ever wonder how navigation data gets into your aircraft? Pilots and planners input flight plans, but do you know who ensures that data is accurate when it's your lifeline? Dive into the behind-the-scenes process in our latest blog! ✈️🔍

Think of your own car gas bills - but that those payments make up 30% of your household budget and are in the tens of millions of dollars...nice to hook up with @GE_Aerospace on this one.

[Jeppesen ForeFlight @JeppForeFlight]

Fuel accounts for up to 30% of an airline’s operating costs - making every operational decision matter.

That’s why Jeppesen ForeFlight and GE Aerospace are collaborating to deliver an integrated fuel savings solution designed to help airlines turn operational data into real-world efficiency gains.

By combining GE Aerospace’s flight data analytics platform with Jeppesen ForeFlight’s Cost Index Optimization capabilities, airlines can connect pre-flight planning, in-flight optimization, and post-flight analytics into one continuous workflow.

The result: faster access to actionable insights, fuel-optimized guidance delivered directly within existing pilot and operations workflows, and measurable opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Jeff Bezos just told everyone to stop worrying about AI taking their jobs.

Then he said something most people completely missed.

Bezos: “I am not worried about this. I find that people, all of us, we are so unimaginative about what future jobs are going to look like.”

He’s not dismissing you. He’s challenging you.

Every generation has been terrible at predicting what comes next.

Nobody in 1995 was planning to become a YouTuber. Nobody in 2005 was dreaming of managing a Shopify brand from their kitchen table.

Those jobs didn’t exist until the world shifted and someone with imagination filled the gap.

That’s the pattern Bezos is pointing at.

The jobs that AI creates won’t look like anything we’d recognize today. They never do.

What changes is that the barrier between wanting to do something and actually doing it is about to collapse.

The person who always wanted to build but couldn’t code will build. The person who always wanted to create but couldn’t afford a studio will create.

AI doesn’t eliminate ambition. It removes the obstacles standing in front of it.

The people who thrive next won’t be the most technical. They’ll be the most imaginative. Bezos isn’t warning you. He’s telling you the door is wide open.

A great video review by SoCal Flying Monkey (who we sponsor) outlining a new @JeppForeFlight safety feature Emergency Glide Mode, should, gulp, your engine fails. https://t.co/J3NGr5fHGH

Thanks for being a great partner @united …it’s been fun to watch the innovation paths you’ve been taking, from Relax Row to Starlink and here, optimizing operations…

[Jeppesen ForeFlight @JeppForeFlight]

How do you improve crew pairings while reducing costs?

United Airlines set out to solve exactly that.

“We were asking - how do we make better pairings, become more cost-effective, and reduce long sit times for our crews?” — Jason Silber, Senior Manager of Crew Planning, United Airlines

By partnering with Jeppesen ForeFlight and implementing calibration, the result was a 2–5% savings on their total solution - along with more balanced, crew-friendly schedules.

“I can’t even imagine not having it.”

Smarter planning. Better outcomes.

That’s the Jeppesen ForeFlight advantage.

@WallStreetApes And then another 80 cents on top to include the vanilla syrup in a vanilla latte. Even if you ask for fewer pumps. Help me understand that mark up and “experience.”

[Bill Kircos @kircos]

@nextbigfuture Kind of a big assumption on the 4 months. And not too long ago, Starship and Falcon were grounded. Should have everyone switched to Blue and ULA when those occurred?

Mishaps happen. We need as many rockets, and uptime, as possible. (Note - I’m a former Blue employee)

[Bill Kircos @kircos]

Incredible progress. Right strategy. Congrats @blueorigin!

More from Tommy Lloyd on staying at Arizona:

"The phone call with Michael Jordan never did happen, I'll put that to rest. We all idolized MJ... With that being said though... my Michael Jordan is Steve Kerr. And I'm proud to be an Arizona Wildcat."

I will remember this play for my entire life. Winners make winning plays 🐻⬇️

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

While bonus eligibility and NIL led plenty of teams to build around players in their 20s, Arizona sprinted in the other direction. Now its teenagers have the Wildcats one win from the Final Four. https://t.co/pRf7wzro0V

[Bill Kircos @kircos]

Nice win. And those who know me also know this about maxed out my creative design skills.

[Bill Kircos @kircos]

@jasonscheer J, you’ve worked w/your share of PR folks. This is a classic non-denial denial. Left the door wide open. That said, so did Lute+anyone who wants $ job leverage. What’s concerning is the poor, heck non-existent, relationship with Desiree. That may seal this. Shame on any AD.

[Bill Kircos @kircos]

@CollinRugg Love innovation like this. But what is the seatbelt status? These days international flights have the seatbelt sign on a majority of the flight. Congrats @United on a unique offering.
