US--NEW JERSEY TRANSIT-WHAT TO KNOW

NJ Transit engineers could walk off the job Friday, leaving some 350,000 commuters in the lurch

SUMMARY: Some 350,000 commuters who work in New Jersey and New York City could soon be scrambling for other ways to reach their destinations if New Jersey Transit engineers walk off the job early Friday. The nation’s third largest transit system operates buses and rail in New Jersey, providing nearly 1 million weekday trips, including into New York City. If the walkout occurs, all NJ Transit commuter trains will stop running. Wages and working conditions have been the main sticking points of the negotiations between the agency and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen.

US--AVIATION SAFETY-THINGS TO KNOW

Newark problems and recent crashes put focus on air traffic controller shortage and aging equipment

SUMMARY: The recent chronic delays and cancellations at New Jersey’s largest airport have highlighted the shortage of air traffic controllers and the aging equipment they use, which President Donald Trump’s administration wants to replace. The Federal Aviation Administration is working on a short-term fix to the problems at the Newark airport that includes technical repairs and cutting flights while dealing with a shortage of controllers. But even before those problems, aviation was already in the spotlight ever since the deadly midair collision in January. That investigation continues while the U.S. Department of Transportation tries to make progress on the long-standing issues of not having enough air traffic controllers and relying on outdated equipment.

US--AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS

American Eagle tumbles after pulling financial guidance for 2025

SUMMARY: Shares of American Eagle Outfitters are tumbling after the retailer withdrew its financial outlook for the year citing “macro uncertainty” and said it would write down $75 million in spring and summer merchandise. American Eagle said late Tuesday that it expects first-quarter revenue to slide 5%, or more than $1 billion. Same-store sales, a key gauge of a retailer’s health, are projected to fall about 3%. The Pittsburgh company foresees a first-quarter adjusted operating loss of about $68 million due to the inventory write-down as well as heavier spending on promotions.
