✈️✈️Delta flight attendants will begin paying cabin crews during boarding, a first for a major U.S. airline. Across the airline industry in the United States, hourly pay for flight attendants starts when all the passengers are seated, and the plane’s doors close.
In a memo to flight attendants, Delta’s senior vice president of in-flight service, Kristen Manion Taylor, said the new pay “further recognizes how important your role is on board to ensuring a welcoming, safe, and on-time start; to each flight.”
The change comes as Delta plans to grow the boarding time for single-aisle or “narrow-body” planes from 35 minutes to 40 minutes, which the airline expects will increase the percentage of flights that depart on time. Delta said the new boarding pay would be on top of 4% raises for flight attendants that it announced in March and which take effect later this week.

🇳🇴 🇺🇦 Assessments are being made of sending heavier weapons to Ukraine, in addition to those already dispatched, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has announced in parliament.
According to Støre, Norway's previous arms deliveries have arrived in Ukraine. Among other things, Norway has donated 4,000 M72 type anti-aircraft missiles and around 100 Mistral anti-aircraft missiles.
Whereas Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre described donating arms to a warring party as a “new experience” for the country, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Western weapons deliveries to Ukraine “pouring oil on the fire”, warning that the shipments would become a “legitimate target” for Russian forces.

🤔 If the Biden administration goes ahead with arms supplies to Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian special military operation in the country, the US’ weapons stockpiles may run out in several months, some senators and experts have warned.
🗣 Speaking at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday, Ellen Lord, former under secretary of defence for acquisition and sustainment, called the situation “a huge threat” to the national security, according to the news agency Bloomberg. Lord added that the US has already sent nearly a quarter of its stockpile of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine.
⚠️ She warned that the US failing to inject into infrastructure to maintain production capacity may result in replenishment lags of three to five years.
