Woman said she fell asleep during a flight and woke up on dark, parked plane alone - KCRG

TORONTO (AP) — Air Canada said Sunday it’s looking into how crew members could have disembarked from a plane without noticing a sleeping passenger who was left behind.

The airline was responding to an incident involving a woman who described waking up "all alone" on a "cold dark" aircraft after a flight to Toronto earlier this month.

"I think I'm having a bad dream bc like seriously how is this happening!!?!" Tiffani Adams recounted in a June 19 Facebook post sent by her friend, Deanna Noel-Dale.

The airline confirmed the incident took place but declined to comment on its disembarking procedures or how the passenger may have been overlooked.

"We are still reviewing this matter so we have no additional details to share, but we have followed up with the customer and remain in contact with her," Air Canada told the Associated Press.

Adams wrote that after she woke up, she called Noel-Dale to try to explain what happened, but her phone died and she couldn't charge it because power to the plane was off. She said she was "full on panicking" by the time she found the "walky talky thingys in the cockpit," which also didn't work.

After no one saw the "sos signals" she made by shining a flashlight out the window, she unbolted a cabin door. Facing a steep drop to the tarmac, she leaned out of the aircraft and called over a ground crew, who got her out.

The passenger wrote that Air Canada personnel asked if she was OK and whether she would like a limo and hotel, but she declined the offer. She said airline representatives apologized and said they would investigate.

"I haven't got much sleep since the reoccurring night terrors and waking up anxious and afraid I'm alone locked up someplace dark," she wrote.

The AP attempted to reach Adams through Noel-Dale's Facebook account but had not received a response by late Sunday morning.

Air Canada said in a Facebook response to the post that it was surprised to hear the story and "very concerned," asking Adams to send a private message with her flight details.

“We’ll take a look into it,” the airline wrote.

FedEx, in another error, misses delivery of Huawei package to US - CNBC

A FedEx plane is parked at Ontario International Airport on February 4, 2019.

FedEx said on Sunday an operational error prevented a Huawei Technologies package from being delivered to the United States, just weeks after the U.S. delivery firm said an error led to the Chinese firm's packages being misdirected.

"The package in question was mistakenly returned to the shipper, and we apologize for this operational error," FedEx told Reuters in an emailed statement. A company spokeswoman confirmed that the package was U.S. bound but declined to say what it contained.

Huawei, the world's biggest telecoms gear maker, is at the center of a bruising trade dispute between Washington and Beijing. China launched an investigation into FedEx earlier this month over Huawei parcels delivered to the wrong address, without giving details about the deliveries in question.

China's state news agency Xinhua had said back then that the investigation into FedEx over misdirected mail should not be regarded as retaliation against the U.S. company, amid the trade spat.

The United States and China have been engaged in a trade dispute for months on issues such as tariffs, subsidies, technology, regulations and cyber security, among others, with Washington putting Huawei on a blacklist last month citing national security.

"FedEx can accept and transport all Huawei products except for any shipments to listed Huawei entities on the U.S. Entity List," the company said on Sunday.

The missed delivery was earlier reported by China's Global Times, a tabloid published by the ruling Communist Party's People's Daily.

On Friday, the U.S. Commerce Department said it was adding several Chinese companies and a government-owned institute involved in supercomputing with military applications to its national security "entity list" that bars them from buying U.S. parts and components without government approval.

Huawei, which said it was reviewing its relationship with FedEx after the mishandling of its packages earlier, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on Sunday.

Trump Denies He Threatened to Demote Powell (But Says He Has Authority to Do So) - Slate Magazine

During his interview with NBC’s Meet the Press that aired Sunday, President Donald Trump did not mince words when it came time to talk about Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. “I’m not happy with his actions,” Trump said of Powell. “No, I don’t think he’s done a good job.” Trump accused Powell of raising interest rates “too fast,” handicapping his administration in a way that his predecessor never experienced. “Obama had very low rates,” Trump said. “So Obama was playing with funny money. I wasn’t. I’m playing with the real stuff.”

Trump insists though that even though he raised interest rates too quickly, that won’t affect his reelection chances. “I think the economy is so strong we’re going to bull through it,” the president said. “But I’m not happy with his actions, I don’t think he’s done a good job.”

When NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Trump about his “threat to demote” Powell, the president denied that he had ever done such a thing. “I didn’t ever threaten to demote him,” Trump said. “I have the right to do that. But I haven’t said that.” Reports earlier in the week said Trump had told close advisers that he has the authority to replace Powell as Fed chairman by demoting him to board governor.

Powell dismissed the talk about his possible demotion when he was asked about the reports at a news conference Wednesday. “I think the law is clear that I have a four-year term, and I fully intend to serve it,” Powell said.

President Donald Trump said he never threatened to demote Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, though he maintained he has the authority to do so.

"I didn't ever threaten to demote him," Trump said in an interview with NBC's "Meet The Press" that aired Sunday. "I'd be able to do that if I wanted, but I haven't suggested that."

Trump went on to criticize the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates, saying Chairman Powell made a mistake.

"Obama had someone that kept the rates very low," Trump said. "I had somebody that raised the rates very rapidly -- too much. He made a mistake, that's been proven."

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday held interest rates steady, indicating that there would not be a cut in 2019. The central bank, however, forecast one to two possible rate cuts in 2020.

When asked Tuesday whether he wanted to demote Powell, Trump said: "Let's see what he does."

Bloomberg had reported that Trump considered demoting Powell in February, but White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow said the president wasn't currently considering such a move.

"It's a six-month-old story," he told reporters. "It allegedly happened six months ago and it's not happening today and therefore I have nothing to say about it. It is what it is."

Powell was asked point blank at a news conference after the Wednesday Fed meeting about how he would react if Trump said he wanted to demote him.

"I think the law is clear that I have a four-year term, and I fully intend to serve it," Powell said.

When asked whether he should address Trump's repeated criticism, the Fed chairman said he doesn't "discuss elected officials publicly or privately."

The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates seven times since Trump took office and originally indicated two more rate hikes in 2019. The central bank pivoted and adopted a more dovish stance after its hike in December sent markets reeling.

Trump has repeatedly claimed the stock market would be higher and economic growth faster if the Fed had not raised rates.

In the same "Meet The Press" interview that aired Sunday, Trump was asked whether he believed Fed policy would jeopardize his reelection chances.

"I think the economy is so strong we're going to bull through it," the president said. "But I'm not happy with his actions, I don't think he's done a good job."
