EasyJet launches cabin crew recruitment drive targeting young people
The airline is set to take on almost 1,000 new cabin crew for 2026, and is encouraging young adults and school leavers to consider applying.
New research commissioned by easyJet of 2,000 16 to 24-year-olds showed there were still misconceptions around the role of cabin crew which prevented them from pursuing it as a career.
More than nine in 10 of those surveyed were unaware there are no minimum educational qualifications required to apply for the job, with two in three believing they would be under-qualified for cabin crew training.
As a result, almost nine in 10 said they had never considered a career working for an airline.
Michael Brown, director of cabin services at easyJet, said: 'We want to show young people that being cabin crew is more than just a job – it's a career filled with variety, teamwork and opportunity, which has so much to offer to so many people as well as offering a pathway to progress in working within our wider industry too.
'If you have enthusiasm, people skills and a willingness to learn something new, our taster sessions could be the perfect first step towards a new opportunity.'
Aviation minister Mike Kane said: 'It's fantastic to see British firm easyJet investing in our young people, encouraging and inspiring them into careers in aviation.
'We are determined to break down barriers to opportunity in the UK to deliver our Plan for Change so everyone can pursue and progress in rewarding careers.'

Stanley Druckenmiller ramps up health-care stock exposure, gets back into Microsoft
Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller 's top three biggest holdings at the end of June were all health-care stocks and he also invested back into one of his favorite artificial intelligence plays, Microsoft , according to a regulatory filing. The former lead portfolio manager for George Soros' Quantum Fund, who now runs his own Duquesne Family Office, hiked his stakes in Teva Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical company Insmed last quarter, making them his fund's second and third largest holdings, the filing showed. Clinical genetic testing company Natera remained Druckenmiller's top bet, worth more than half a billion at the end of June. The legendary investor, who has never had a down year in the markets, took a $100 million stake in Microsoft in the second quarter, after exiting the tech position in the third quarter of 2024. Druckenmiller was applauded for his big win on key AI player Nvidia in 2022 as he was one of the earliest investors to see the potential in the burgeoning industry, comparing the power of AI to the internet. He once called Nvidia and Microsoft his favored names to play the theme. However, he exited the winning bet last year, later admitting it was a "big mistake" as Jensen Huang's company continued its rally. Still, Microsoft is outperforming the market again this year, up 22% year to date. The stock topped a $4 trillion market cap on July 30 for the first time ever. Druckenmiller shot to fame after helping make a $10 billion bet against the British pound in 1992. He later oversaw $12 billion as president of Duquesne Capital Management before closing his firm in 2010.

Roth cuts gas stocks as oversupply threatens natural gas prices into 2026
-- Roth Capital Partners said U.S. natural gas stocks are facing renewed pressure as oversupply builds, with prices expected to weaken through 2026, in a note dated Monday. The brokerage downgraded several gas-focused exploration and production companies, citing forecasts that Henry Hub prices will fall below futures expectations. Production has risen sharply in recent months, with volumes climbing to 109-110 billion cubic feet per day from spring levels of 106-108 Bcf/d. That increase has pushed the market from balanced conditions to oversupply. Domestic storage now sits 196 billion cubic feet above the five-year average, and Roth expects the surplus to expand as the shoulder season approaches. The brokerage projects 2026 supply growth of 2.5 Bcf/d, nearly matching expected demand growth of 2.75 Bcf/d. Despite strong consumption trends, including liquefied natural gas exports and power generation, Roth sees the market remaining oversupplied. Its model points to a Henry Hub average of $3.25 per million British thermal units in 2026, below the current futures curve near $3.85. As a result, Roth cut its ratings on Antero Resources, EQT, EXE, CNX Resources Corp and Range Resources to 'neutral' from 'buy,' and lowered Comstock Resources to 'sell' from 'neutral.' The brokerage said gas equities are likely to remain in a trading range until supply growth slows. 'Supply ruins the party,' the analysts said, pointing to producers' continued plans to increase volumes, supported by a higher futures strip. While demand is on track for one of the strongest growth years in decades, rising by 4.5 Bcf/d in 2025, the supply trajectory is expected to keep prices capped. The brokerage also noted that the global LNG market could become oversupplied by 2027 as new capacity comes online in Qatar, Australia, Mexico and Africa, potentially curbing U.S. export demand. Roth's forecast shows a modest 0.4 Bcf/d surplus in 2026, suggesting that absent a colder-than-expected winter or a slowdown in drilling, gas prices will struggle to reach the $4 mark. 'We expect domestic gas supply to grow to 110-111 Bcfgpd or more in 2026 even with less associated gas in a weaker oil market, which we think will be too high and will lead to gas prices closer to $3.25 per mmbtu range next year,' the brokerage said.

Forest Lodge Details: Renovations, Worth, Photos, and Drama
Prince William and Kate Middleton are moving out of Adelaide Cottage! And while there were initial reports that the couple were heading to Fort Belvedere (which is basically a castle), it looks like they're going to a swanky spot called "Forest Lodge." Work on the property has already begun and Wills and Kate are eyeing a Christmas 2025 move-in, so clearly it's time to learn everything there is to know about this place. And yes, there's drama. Forest Lodge is a 328-year-old Georgian mansion that used to be called "Holly Grove," and is located on Great Windsor Park. It has eight bedrooms, a chandelier-lit ballroom, a tennis court, and extensive grounds—including several cottages where William and Kate's security and nanny will live, which you can see in the arial view below. Forest Lodge was built in the 1770s as a "grace-and-favour property" (meaning the royals let friends stay there for free), and was initially home to one of Edward VIII's equerries. Princess Margaret's private secretary then lived there in the 1990s, and the most recent tenants were Alex Fitzgibbons (who planned wedding receptions for William & Kate and Harry & Meghan) and his wife, Cristina Stenbeck. They moved out last year. Thanks to Forest Lodge being up for rent in 2001 (for a casual $15,000 a month), we have pics of the inside during its renovation—which features gorgeous fireplaces, plaster cornices, and Venetian windows. So gonna assume the price has only gone up! In other words, British taxpayers aren't footing the bill at all. And the renovation shouldn't break the bank for the couple thanks to William's access to the Duchy of Cornwall. A source tells The Sun that "Over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times. Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind. This is a move for the long-term. They see it as their forever home." According to insider in the Daily Mail, "This is for the long term and it's their intention to stay in Forest Lodge once he becomes king." Another source added "They want to continue to do the school run, even if they are king and queen," while yet another source noted that "It's a fresh start for them after three really tough years. They are looking forward to creating many happy memories in their new home and leaving some of the unhappier ones behind." Per the Daily Mail, two families who live in nearby cottages were asked to "vacate their properties" ahead of William and Kate's move. Their homes had been rented out by the Crown Estate, so the royals are essentially in control of the leases. Per a source, "They were told to move out. I guess they were given somewhere else, but they were told they had to move. They were not expecting it. Those houses are very close to the lodge, so they're not going to want any Tom, Dick or Harry living in those houses if there are going to be royals there." The Sun claims Kate was seen picking out a 24-seat dining table at a storehouse that "houses surplus royal furniture and antiques." A source also noted that "This house is much larger than Adelaide Cottage. There is a dining room and drawing room which require substantial pieces of furniture." Welp, this has been an update!
