Natalee Holloway case: Aruban guide hired by Beth Holloway says island took economic hit after disappearance
Aruban guide that Beth Holloway and friends hired in the wake of her daughter, Natalee Holloway, going missing in 2005, says the island has taken an economic hit ever since the Alabama student went missing.Natalee Holloway disappeared during a 2005 Mountain Brook High School senior trip in Aruba. The primary suspect, Joren van der Sloot, is currently in a Lima, Peru, prison serving a 28-year prison sentence for the killing of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in Lima.Flores was killed by van der Sloot on May 30, 2010 — exactly five years after Natalee Holloway was last seen alive.Peruvian officials announced late Wednesday van der Sloot would be temporarily extradited to the U.S., where he will face charges relating to an alleged extortion scheme to get money from the Holloways.After getting word in 2005 that her daughter was missing, Beth Holloway and a group of friends flew down to Aruba and hired Alberto Groeneveldt to be their guide, and assist them in the search for Natalee Holloway, according to an episode of ABC's "20/20" that aired in 2019.In a phone call with FOX Business, Groeneveldt, who owns an event planning business, said that the island has taken an economic hit ever since the disappearance.He said business in the area has "picked up a little bit" but said, "it's not like before."Specifically, Groeneveldt cited a decrease in clubs in the area, in addition to a drop in cruises that make stops in Aruba.

(Photo by Jevone Moor Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said Wednesday that more government regulations could lead to higher ticket prices. "There's no question if there is another layer of government regulation and cost that's introduced into the system, it'll eventually find its way back into ticket prices," Bastian said during an interview with "CBS Mornings." It's "common business logic," he added. In April, airline fares dropped about 2.6% from March after four months of increases, according to government data. DELTA DISCLOSES RECORD ADVANCE SUMMER BOOKINGSRepresentatives for Delta Air Lines declined to comment further. Earlier this month, President Biden said his administration will write new regulations requiring major carriers to compensate travelers and cover their meals and hotel rooms if they are stranded for reasons within the airline’s control.This is in addition to ticket refunds for passengers when the airline is at fault for canceling or significantly delaying a flight. INTERNATIONAL AIRFARE PRICES SURGE PAST 2019 LEVELSBiden noted that travelers "deserve more than just getting the price of your ticket (refunded) — you deserve to be fully compensated.

Did WestJet pilots reject $300K+ salaries? Union says figures ‘cherry-picked’
WestJet is telling its pilots it was offering “significant” wage increases that would make them among the highest paid workers in Canada before the pilots’ union issued notice for a strike that could begin this week, Global News has learned.But the union says the “cherry-picked” six-figure salaries included in internal communications do not represent the full scope of the offer they rejected, and criticized the airline for bargaining in public.Global News obtained a memo sent to pilots by John Aaron, WestJet’s vice-president of flight operations, to the airline’s pilots hours after the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) issued a 72-hour strike notice Monday evening.WestJet pilots are set to walk off the job at 3 a.m. Eastern on Friday unless a deal is reached.In the memo, Aaron said the airline’s latest offer — which expired after the strike notice was issued — would have raised salaries to “around” $300,000 for a narrowbody aircraft captain and $350,000 for a widebody aircraft captain, before overtime and other stipends.Aaron said those wages would have made narrowbody captains and first officers the highest-paid in Canada.Narrowbody aircraft are the more common passenger planes, like the Boeing 737, that have a single aisle separating passenger seating.

DEFUNIAK SPRINGS, Fla. - A traffic jam over a turtle in the road caused a crash involving multiple vehicles, including a semi-truck, on a highway in the Florida Panhandle Tuesday. The crash happened Tuesday in Walton County after a driver stopped on US-331 to let the turtle cross the road, according to authorities in Walton County."Residents and visitors alike should marvel at the many species that call Florida home. Just preferably not in the middle of the road," the Walton County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post. WATCH: Black bear caught on camera wandering through Carrollwood, Lutz neighborhoodsDashcam video was released by Walton County deputies after the crash to caution drives against causing "a road obstruction because of a reptilian obstruction."The video from a truck that was involved in the crash captures the moments the driver failed to brake in time and rear ended at least two vehicles. MORE: Police respond to calls for help, turns out to be 'very upset goat'Before it happened, several cars were seen on the dashcam footage stopped in the southbound lanes of US-331 near Defuniak Springs. "While no ill intentions were meant, trying to avoid or assist an animal who has made its way onto a busy road can cause you or other drivers life-threatening injuries," WCSO said.Deputies said no one was seriously injured in the crash, and the turtle also survived.
