Growing up in #Toronto, I held #NYC in awe. Per the joke, one Torontonian changes the lightbulb, the other goes New York to make sure lightbulbs are still in. I had a *great* place to stay in the City: my cousin Maxine's rent-controlled place in a midtown doorman building.

Max was impossibly glamorous: a perfectly coiffed office manager at Colgate-Palmolive who earned an anthropology degree at CUNY, volunteered at the Brooklyn Zoo, and knew every trick for getting cheap tickets for museums, galleries and shows.

The catastrophic failure of @SouthwestAir over Christmas 2022 was the worst single-airline aviation failure in American history, stranding over 1,000,000 passengers. 1/

But while it was exceptional, it was also foreseeable: 2022 saw Southwest and the other carriers rack up record numbers of cancellations, leaving crews and fliers stranded.
It's not like the carriers can't afford to improve things. 3/

Christmas's apocalyptic airline meltdown stranded thousands, ruining vacations and costing fliers a fortune. It wasn't just #SouthwestAirlines' meltdown - as stranded fliers sought alternatives, airlines like #AA raised the price of some domestic coach tickets over $10K. 1/

This didn't come out of nowhere. Southwest's growth strategy has seen the airlines add more planes and routes without a comparable investment in back-end systems, including crew scheduling systems. 3/
I'm looking forward to Monday marking the start of new rules on #NonCompeteAgreements between employers &workers. This new law was a major legislative priority for me, and I am proud that it was signed by the governor last month.

#NonCompeteAgreements are aimed at preventing workers from taking jobs with a business's competition, but they are too often abused, stifle #Innovation and block employees from finding work after being laid off. The new law applies to noncompetes entered into on or after Oct. 1.
The new law limits non-competes to 1 year, requires that an employee have at least 10 days to review the agreement, and exempts lower-paid employees. It institutes #GardenLeave (requiring employers to pay employees during the time their employment is restricted by a non-compete).
