☆ Beta Technologies lands orders for fixed-wing electric aircraft
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-14 | by ( Valerie Insinna | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

WASHINGTON, March 14 (Reuters) - Beta Technologies is pursuing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification for a fixed-wing electric airplane after receiving orders from three customers, the company announced Tuesday. The privately-held, Vermont-based startup sees certification of the CX 300 – a conventional takeoff and landing version of its Alia 250 electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft - as a path to introduce an electric aircraft into U.S. airspace under existing regulations, Chief Executive Kyle Clark told Reuters. Bristow Group, a helicopter service provider that has previously ordered eVTOL aircraft from Beta, has placed an order for up to 50 CX 300 electric planes, Beta said. As the air transport industry works to lower carbon emissions, electric "air taxis" are seen as a potential gamechanger that would allow airlines and other companies to shuttle people and goods by air over short distances. If successful, Beta can reuse much of the data to certify its eVTOL Alia aircraft, which uses the same airframe, batteries and propulsion system, Clark said.

☆ Oracle insiders say that even its all-important cloud unit is being dragged down by new restrictions on hiring — a major turnaround for a unit that usually gets whatever it wants
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-24 | by ( Jessica Xing | Ellen Thomas | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Oracle has restricted hiring at OCI, telling recruiters to stay away from expensive areas like SF. Its marketing and customer experience, or CX, divisions were among the hardest-hit units, but the company's cloud division, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure , or OCI, appeared to remain untouched. The restrictions inside OCI in particular follow a period of rapid hiring in 2021, when cloud firms raced to give candidates lucrative packages to win talent, the employee said. Business from OCI, especially with the addition of TikTok, has helped grow Oracle's revenue by 5% in the most recent fiscal year. Additionally, the firm's unwillingness to spend on labor has cost Oracle before, especially as its marketing cloud unit continues to lag behind competitor Salesforce.

☆ Oracle employees say new location-based hiring restrictions are even impacting the cloud unit, which is the one place the typically frugal company was always willing to spend big for talent
