Airbus CEO says Spirit Aero talks going well but industrial challenges lie ahead

By Tim Hepher BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The head of European planemaker Airbus said talks to finalise the takeover of part of troubled U.S. aerostructures supplier Spirit Aerosystems were going smoothly but that bringing it into Airbus would "not be a walk in the park". Airbus plans to take over the running of four Spirit plants associated with its A350 and A220 jetliner programmes as part of a loosely coordinated plan to carve up the company with Boeing, which is buying back almost all the rest of its former unit. The rare act of cooperation between business foes reflects concerns that the rapid decline of one of the industry's key suppliers, spun off from Boeing almost 20 years ago, could have spread havoc through the world's largest planemakers. Because the plants lose money, Spirit has agreed to pay $559 million to […]

This 28-year-old is risking her financial future to support her unemployed mom. Is it worth going deeper into debt?

This 28-year-old is risking her financial future to support her unemployed mom. Is it worth going deeper into debt? In a recent Reddit post, Annie, a 28-year-old college student, shared her history of balancing financial obligations at home while working and covering the cost of her tuition. She lives with her mother, Erin, 48, and her two younger brothers, but her earnings are stretched thin to help keep their household afloat. Recently, Annie got a new job with similar pay but a better bonus structure, though she regrets telling her mom, who has since frequently asked for financial support. The most recent request – a $500 bill to repair a wall damaged by the family’s dog – was one Annie couldn’t fulfill. “I had to borrow from a financial institution and I have a credit card that is maxed out […]
