A Message From Scott Kirby and Brett Hart

CHICAGO, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — J. Scott Kirby, Chief Executive Officer, and Brett Hart, President, today issued the following message to all United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) employees:

CHICAGO, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — J. Scott Kirby, Chief Executive Officer, and Brett Hart, President, today issued the following message to all United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) employees:

United Team:

We’re writing today with some really good news: the Administration and Congress have come together in a bipartisan way on a relief bill that includes several items, including an extension of the Payroll Support Program (PSP) for the airlines.

As you know, United has aggressively advocated for this extension for months and our airline has publicly supported similar efforts by our union partners. And we both have personally spoken to leaders in D.C. about the unique impact the crisis has had on our industry and the need for relief. Our appreciation goes out to all the elected officials who helped make this happen – we also know many of you lent your voices to the fight, so thank you as well.

So what does this mean for us? Well, to start, it means United intends to offer temporary employment to thousands of our team members who were impacted on September 30.

As you know, involuntary furloughs were always a last resort for us and we worked really hard over the summer – through cost-cutting, capital-raising, and partnering with our unions – to make the number of people who were ultimately impacted as small as possible.

Now, those employees who are eligible under the terms of the PSP extension can temporarily come back to United through March 2021. This is certainly good news for our economy, our industry, and our airline – but it’s especially good news for those who have been without a paycheck, and we can’t wait to welcome them back.

Importantly, though, we don’t expect customer demand to change much between now and the end of the first quarter of 2021. United has been realistic about our outlook throughout the crisis, and we’ve tried to give you an honest assessment every step of the way. The truth is, we just don’t see anything in the data that shows a huge difference in bookings over the next few months. That is why we expect the recall will be temporary.

But as we’ve said before, we do see the light at the end of the tunnel. The recent vaccine developments have been nothing short of extraordinary. And we’re so proud of our team for playing an important role in the global distribution of those treatments. But even though vaccinations have started and there are millions of doses being distributed around the country, we’re still months and months away from the majority of the population getting vaccinated.

There are still some details to work out before the PSP extension is finalized, and we expect that you will hear from your leaders over the next several days about what’s next for your specific workgroup. And for those employees who will be returning to work, we’ll continue to work closely with our union partners to make the process as easy as possible.

So let us end where we started – having our team members back working at United – even in some cases temporarily – is good news. The PSP extension will provide much needed relief for these team members and their families.

Thanks for all you continue to do to take care of our customers and one another.

Scott and Brett

He continued: «Only a single-digit percentage of airlines worldwide reach APEX Five Star Airline status with tremendous effort placed into both their product and service offerings.  SAUDIA’s ratings by customers have consistently improved alongside the airline’s product upgrades over the past few years. The touches that I personally admire are hot towels in economy class, a uniquely Saudia international water bar / juice bar on-board, broader in-flight entertainment offerings, enhanced Wi-Fi connectivity, in-flight product improvements, and improved passenger service.»

SAUDIA previously received the Four-Star rating from APEX in 2017.

Bill Brown is in a Historic Fight for the Title of #1 Ford Dealership in the World

They also have an equally devoted staff, some of whom have worked at the dealership for 35 or 40 years.

LIVONIA, Mich., Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — There is a reason that Bill Brown Ford has a fiercely loyal customer base, with some families shopping at the dealership 40, 50 years, or more. They also have an equally devoted staff, some of whom have worked at the dealership for 35 or 40 years. The dealership enjoys this incredible level of loyalty because they have found a way to balance helping the community, building a community, and operating a customer-first dealership. This has proven to be a winning formula for them, as they are once again a finalist in the Race to be named Ford’s #1 Dealership in the world.

Bill Brown Ford has at least one active charity program in place 365 days-a-year, this is at the core of the dealership’s DNA. This has enabled them to create one large extended family that brings together the people who work at the dealership with the people who buy there.

Tom Brown is the great-grandson of Bill Brown; his family has owned and operated Ford dealerships in Michigan for over 100 years. They have been at Bill Brown’s current location in Livonia since the mid-’50s. Over the years, the dealership has maintained a unique family, community, and customer first-approach to dealer operations, which was put to the test this year. 

«In the Spring, as community need grew exponentially, so did our efforts to keep our staff and help feed, educate, clothe, and improve the health and welfare of families and businesses in the Detroit Metro. Especially those negatively impacted by the pandemic,» Tom Brown comments. «The dealership has always had a broad, integrated community approach. It’s who we are. The big surprise is the level of support we’ve received from our community this year. The fact that we may have the unique opportunity of ending this year, 2020, on a positive note, as the #1 Ford Dealership in the world is incredible.»

This month Bill Brown is in a historic fight to be named the #1 Ford Dealership in the World. The competition is fierce. The dealership is in an intense back-and-forth battle with last year’s winner, a Ford dealership in Florida. In 2019 they battled right up until the end of the year. This year is no different. Bill Brown is slightly behind today, but that could easily change tomorrow.

Matt Garchow, New Vehicle Sales Manager at Bill Brown Ford, adds, «We’re so honored after this challenging year to have such a high level of loyalty and support from so many Michiganders. All of us at Bill Brown are so thankful for our amazing community, and we’re focused on bringing the title of #1 Ford Dealership back to Michigan, where it belongs. We see the Race for #1 as an opportunity to celebrate and thank our community for their unending support.»

As Ford’s largest AXZ Plan dealership, Bill Brown provides more discounts to Ford employees than any other dealership in the world. Their customers work down the street at the Ford Livonia Transmission Plant, or in Dearborn, or at the Rogue River Complex, or they are with a Ford vendor or supplier. There is a lot of responsibility that comes with this designation, and that’s one of the reasons the dealership consistently supports Ford employees, vendors, and their local community.

«The Race for #1 is a huge undertaking for any Ford dealership, but for one our size, in Metro Detroit, in the middle of a pandemic, this has to be a community effort to succeed,» Tom Brown adds. «It’s also an opportunity for us to show the world that Detroit is still the capital of the auto industry.»

Bill Brown recently received some help with their quest for #1. The dealership became the first in the world, to sell one of the new, highly-anticipated 2021 Broncos. The dealership aired the delivery of the first new Bronco, to the Ghastin family from Canton, MI, live on their Facebook page. The post has created a lot of buzz. 

«We were honored that Bill Brown was selected for this historical event, and for this to happen in the middle of our Race for #1 could help us win,» adds Matt Garchow. «December is the final lap of the Race, and we need to sell a lot of new Ford cars and trucks to win. To make sure we deliver for our staff and community, we’re offering our best deals and the lowest prices of the year before Jan. 4, 2021

Coronavirus: Entry ban and retroactive quarantine for persons from the UK and South Africa

PR Newswire

BERN, Switzerland, 21 Decembe 2020 / PRN Africa / — Following the discovery of a new, more contagious variant of the coronavirus in the UK and South Africa, the Federal Council today decided to take steps to prevent the further spread of this new virus strain. All persons who have entered Switzerland from these two countries since 14 December must go into quarantine for 10 days. The Federal Council has also introduced a general entry ban from today for all foreign nationals seeking to enter Switzerland from the UK and South Africa. This is intended in particular to stop travel from these countries for tourism purposes.

The Federal Council has approved amendments to COVID-19 Ordinance 3 prohibiting air travel between Switzerland and the UK and South Africa. The Federal Office of Civil Aviation FOCA yesterday ordered flights between Switzerland and these two countries to be suspended as of midnight on Sunday, 20 December.

A temporary derogation from the flight ban is being considered for persons resident in the UK or South Africa currently staying in Switzerland so that they may return home. That is also the case for persons resident in Switzerland currently staying in those two countries. However, it is imperative that such return journeys do not lead to infections.

The Federal Council also decided to withdraw freedom of movement privileges from persons resident in the UK until 31 December. Persons from the UK are therefore subject to a general ban on entering Switzerland. Freedom of movement privileges for British citizens were due to expire at the end of the year anyway.

The UK and South African authorities were given prior notice of the measures.

Initial indications are that the new variant of the coronavirus is significantly more transmissible than the existing strain. It is not yet clear to what extent the new strain has spread outside the UK and South Africa. No cases of the new strain have so far been identified in Switzerland.

InventHelp Inventors Develop Improved Design for Valve Stem Caps (SDB-1512)

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — «We work in the automotive industry and have to replace a lot of valve stem caps on vehicle wheels,» said one of two inventors, from Lake Elsinore, Calif. «We thought there could be a better way to prevent lost or misplaced caps, so we invented SECURE CAPS. Our design prevents the caps from rolling away or getting stepped on when removed.»

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — «We work in the automotive industry and have to replace a lot of valve stem caps on vehicle wheels,» said one of two inventors, from Lake Elsinore, Calif. «We thought there could be a better way to prevent lost or misplaced caps, so we invented SECURE CAPS. Our design prevents the caps from rolling away or getting stepped on when removed.»

The patent-pending invention provides an effective way to retain a valve stem cap. In doing so, it prevents the cap from becoming lost or misplaced when adding air or checking tire pressure.

Global Drive By Wire Market (2020 to 2025) – Advancements in Autonomous Vehicles Presents Opportunities

DUBLIN, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Drive By Wire Market by Application(Brake, Park, Shift, Steer, Throttle), Sensor (Brake Pedal, Throttle Position & Pedal, Park, Gearshift, Handwheel, Pinion),Vehicle (On & Off-Highway, BEV,PHEV,FCEV, Autonomous),Component & Region – Global Forecast to 2025» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

The drive by wire market is projected to reach USD 31.9 billion by 2025 from an estimated USD 24.0 billion in 2020 at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period.

The primary reason for the growth is driven by the increasing number of mandates from governments to control vehicle emissions, vehicle weight reduction and the demand for premium cars globally. However, the major factor restraining the growth of the drive by wire market is the high incremental cost, risk of failure in electronics, and lack of public acceptance.

Parking pawl is expected to remain the fastest market in drive by wire component market

Parking pawl is gaining popularity due to the advanced technical benefits offered by the application. It is installed in the automatic transmission system of the vehicle for locking the transmission to park a vehicle. Parking pawl is mainly used in automatic transmissions and offers reduced traction energy losses and better traction control. Therefore,as automatic transmissions adoption in vehicles is growing rapidly, parking pawl is expected to gain huge popularity. North America is the leading market for parking pawls. Since the majority of the cars in North America are equipped with drive by wire systems, penetration of parking pawl is already high.

The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted the whole automotive supply chain on a global scale in the first 6-7 months of 2020. The pandemic has presented an uncertain recovery timeline for the automotive industry due to lockdown implementation and shutdown of manufacturing facilities in various parts of the world. The automotive industry is facing four major challenges amid COVID-19 – limited supply of vehicle parts, drop in new vehicle sales, the shutdown of production facilities, and decline in working capital. As the drive by wire market is dependent on vehicle production, this market is expected to be impacted due to this outbreak.

Agriculture Tractor expected to remain the largest in off-highway vehicle type market

Agriculture tractor manufacturers are constantly innovating and looking to go one step further with their technological advancements. An integral design change to achieve these innovations is switching from a mechanical system to a drive by wire system. Major tractor manufacturers working toward autonomous drive by wire systems are AGCO, John Deere, and New Holland. Most importantly, the development of autonomous tractors and intelligent technologies provides a good growth avenue for the drive by wire market. Autonomous tractors are advanced and fully equipped with drive by wire applications to offer more autonomy for precision agriculture. The increasing developments toward self-driven or autonomous tractors will drive the demand for drive by wire systems.

Asia Pacific is expected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period

Asia Pacific is estimated to dominate the drive by wire market during the forecast period. Customers in the Asia Pacific region are increasingly demanding advanced technologies such as automatic and automated manual transmission in mid-size and economy class vehicles. Advanced drive by wire technologies such as shift-by-wire, park-by-wire, and throttle-by-wire are thus deployed in these vehicle classes. As Asian countries plan to standardize emission norms and use an increasing number of EVs in the future, drive by wire systems are likely to gain traction. Also, considering the growing sales of electric vehicles, particularly in China, the drive by wire market is expected to witness a significant growth.

DENVER, Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Colorado’s world-class ski resorts and plentiful outdoor recreation opportunities have always made the state a top destination for adventure seekers of all levels. This year, as travelers consider socially distanced, outdoor activities for safe vacation options, Colorado remains at the top of the list, with ski resorts implementing a host of capacity limits and safety measures – and a stop in Denver is the perfect complement to a mountain trip. The Mile High City’s airport, award-winning dining and cultural scenes, boutique and top-brand hotels and other urban comforts make it the best place to gear up and get acclimated to the altitude before hitting the slopes; or the perfect way to unwind after the excitement of a Rocky Mountain adventure.

Of course, given current travel considerations and community mandates, cultural attractions, hotels and restaurants are taking significant precautions to remain as safe and accessible as possible, while maintaining a focus on the health and wellbeing of guests, staff and the community. Current safety information can be found on VISIT DENVER’s Clean & Safe Resource Guide; and full details about Denver’s mandates, recommendations and resources can be found on the City & County of Denver’s website.

«In a typical winter season, many of the visitors coming to Colorado land at Denver International Airport or drive through the city to get to the beautiful Rocky Mountains,» says Richard Scharf, president and CEO of VISIT DENVER, The Convention & Visitors Bureau. «This year, we anticipate more road trippers and longer stays from those who fly in – creating the perfect opportunity to extend a few days in Denver and experience what the city has to offer.»

Denver International Airport (DEN) is one of the most accessible airports in the U.S. and has maintained much of its flight load through the pandemic, consistently ranking as the #1 or #2 airport in the country in terms of passenger throughput; and it is ranked the number two airport in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal, as well as the top airport in the country and number two airport in North America, according to Skytrax World Airport Awards. Once downtown, visitors can explore Denver’s laid-back, walkable city center, including its creative, diverse neighborhoods and hotel options.

Many of Denver’s hotels are offering seasonal packages and exceptional deals this winter – some even specifically geared toward avant and après ski activities. The more than 11,000 hotel rooms in downtown Denver alone – representing all major brands, boutique properties and all price points – making for a great night’s sleep before (or after) indulging in a ski resort stay, and a central home base for exploring the city. For more information on hotel deals, go to the VISIT DENVER website.

The Mile High City is the cultural epicenter of the Rocky Mountain region, and its thriving cultural scene offers a robust lineup of public art, world-class museums, unique art districts and blockbuster exhibitions and events, even during the pandemic. The city’s downtown cultural facilities create and host renowned exhibitions – including world exclusives, U.S. premieres of traveling shows and more.

As a result of various public art initiatives throughout the city, Denver has developed a concentrated and thriving street and public art scene, leading AFAR magazine to name it the «Street Art Capital of the Country.» Visitors can take self-guided walks and tours to check out murals and works of public art in the city’s diverse neighborhoods, from RiNo Art District to the Art District on Santa Fe and more. For a full list of neighborhoods, go to the VISIT DENVER website

Denver’s culinary scene has been booming and gaining national recognition over the past several years; and, despite the safety restrictions restaurants are facing, the city is determined to keep the culinary momentum going. And, while plenty of restaurants are still offering to-go and delivery options, many of them are open for outdoor service, and taking full advantage of Denver’s 300 days of annual sunshine with creative patio options – including expanded patio space, heated setups, modern igloos and more.

There is plenty of shopping in Denver to help gear up for a trip to the mountains – from local outdoor gear shops like Topo Designs to upscale boutiques and shops in the Cherry Creek North neighborhood and at Cherry Creek Shopping Center. Or, after coming down from the hills, visitors can take a souvenir shopping spree, finding unique items at local shops through the city’s neighborhoods to remind them of their trip.

All of this, coupled with Denver’s welcoming community and Mountain hospitality, make The Mile High City an ideal place to visit before or after a mountain vacation. For more information on what to see and do in Denver this winter, go to the VISIT DENVER website.
