In recent years, airline pilots in the U.S. have received impressive wage increases—40% at United and 34% at Delta. But the wages of Canadian pilots haven’t kept up, and the Air Line Pilots Association union has been pushing for a contract that puts Air Canada pilots’ wage increases closer to those of their American peers.

It was McGill’s second consecutive victory in that category.
Anthropogenic climate change drastically affects our planet, with CO2 being the most critical gaseous driver. Here, we present a fast, effective, and sustainable route for coupling diverse alcohols, amines and amides with CO2 via heterogenization of a natural metal-based homogeneous catalyst through decorating on functionalized graphene oxide. Combined synthetic, experimental, and theoretical studies unravel mechanistic routes to convergent 4‑electron reduction of CO2 under mild conditions.
