 Angelina Jolie says her “fighting spirit is finally back” as her children help her rebuild after health struggles Angelina Jolie has spoken openly about how her six children have helped her regain strength after a difficult stretch marked by health challenges and the end of her marriage. Speaking to Variety, the 51-year-old actress said she feels like she is slowly returning to herself again while discussing her new film Couture, which explores illness and identity in a way that closely mirrors parts of her own journey. “I think my fighting spirit is finally back,” Jolie said. “I lost it for a bit. I got kind of taken down a little bit and it’s coming back in large part thanks to my children, who are now older, and encouraging it.” In the film, Jolie portrays an American director working in Europe who receives a breast cancer diagnosis while on assignment for a fashion project.  The story reflects themes that have personal meaning for her, especially given her own decision in...

 American Airlines flight attendants protest as CEO meets with frustrated staff

American Airlines flight attendants’ union plans to hold a picket outside the airline’s headquarters on Thursday, demanding stronger leadership as the carrier struggles to match rivals Delta Air Lines and United Airlines in profitability and on-time performance.

Ahead of the protest, CEO Robert Isom addressed employees in a video from the airline’s Fort Worth, Texas, headquarters, highlighting expected improvements for the year, including higher profits, better schedules, and upgraded cabins. “We look forward to working with all of you to make it happen,” he said.

The picket follows a vote of no confidence in Isom by the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, representing 28,000 cabin crew members—the union’s first such action against the CEO. Pilots’ and mechanics’ unions have also expressed concerns about reliability and financial performance, requesting meetings with the airline’s board to discuss these issues. The protest is notable because it is happening outside of contract negotiations.

Isom, who became CEO nearly four years ago, has been leading an overhaul aimed at modernizing cabins, expanding airport lounges, and adding services like free Wi-Fi. Last month, the airline forecast higher revenue and adjusted earnings per share of up to $2.70 in 2026, compared with just 36 cents in 2025.

Despite these efforts, American has lagged behind competitors. In the first 11 months of 2025, it ranked eighth in on-time performance, with a 73.7% punctuality rate. Its net income of $111 million last year fell far short of Delta’s $5 billion and United’s $3.3 billion, resulting in smaller profit-sharing pools for employees. Crew members have also criticized the airline for difficulties recovering from severe winter storms, leaving some without accommodations.

The union said in a statement that the airline’s current trajectory “puts our careers at risk” and called for “real accountability, decisive action, and leadership that will put this airline back on a competitive path.”

Isom has been working to boost morale across the company, speaking last week to about 6,000 managers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. “It’s incumbent on all of us to build on our progress … and to ensure that we grow profitability so American is around for the next 100 years,” he said.
