☆ You can now pay $40 to get an empty seat next to you on some Qantas flights, and people can't decide if it's a luxury — or the airline making easy money off people

Qantas's new 'Neighbor Free' program lets passengers block the seat next to them for a fee. 48 hours prior to departure, those eligible will be invited via email to buy a 'Neighbor Free' seat. The "Neighbor Free" program allows passengers to reserve the seat next to them for some extra space or perhaps to avoid an overly chatty neighbor. "I think I would pay the extra dollars, a little extra room would be lovely," said a man to Today News reporter Izabella Staskowski. On other airlines— including Singapore Airlines — hot towels and amenity kits are handed out to long-haul passengers in coach.

April 19 (Reuters) - Cloud and security services firm F5 Inc (FFIV.O) said on Wednesday it was reducing its workforce by 9% and cutting bonuses of senior executives to bring down costs. The technology industry has seen a wave of layoffs over the past few months as it grapples with slowing growth following a pandemic-led boom in digital services. F5's downsizing plan, which will affect 623 employees due to job cuts, also includes cutting back spending on office space and executive travel. The Seattle, Washington-based company also lowered its fiscal 2023 revenue growth forecast to "low-to-mid single-digit" from an earlier forecast of 9% to 11% growth, sending its shares down 5% in after-market trading.

☆ US watchdog to audit Buttigieg government jet use

WASHINGTON, Feb 27 (Reuters) - A U.S. government watchdog will audit Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's use of government airplanes for some trips as part of a broad review dating back to 2017. The Transportation Department Office of Inspector General (OIG) will review 18 flights Buttigieg made on Federal Aviation Administration-operated (FAA) planes on seven total trips after a request by Republican Senator Marco Rubio. "Glad this will be reviewed independently so misleading narratives can be put to rest," Buttigieg wrote on Twitter. Elaine Chao served as Transportation secretary from 2017 through early 2021 under President Donald Trump. Rubio requested the review in December after Fox News reported on the flights and asked if any violations of Transportation Department policy were identified.
