3 reasons why you should not swap your seats on a flight
In the age of viral plane dramas and mid-air etiquette debates, one seemingly harmless request has become the latest in-flight controversy: swapping seats. At first glance, it feels like a small act of kindness, a parent wants to sit with their child, a couple wants to be together, or someone just prefers the window. But as airlines get stricter, tech gets smarter, and passengers get bolder, changing your seat at 30,000 feet might do more harm than good. And yes, it could even cost you money, or your peace of mind. Accountability New York Post , citing cabin crew member Leanna Coy's TikTok video, shared her cautionary tale after swapping her aisle seat on a flight to Jordan. She explained that, while she's usually adamantly against such switches, she gave in this one time. only to immediately regret it. Coy warned that if the person you switch with causes trouble mid-air, the accountability might come back to you, since your name is still attached to that seat in the airline's system. Preloaded payments What's more, on United Airlines , where passengers preload payment details into the app to buy food and drinks, Coy was alarmed to realise that the person in her original seat could technically make purchases using the information linked to her seat number and account. Although she didn't suspect malicious intent, the experience left her anxious and wiser. She supports people if they don't want to switch seats, as she believes that one is entitled to the seat that they chose. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo Protecting what you paid for Beyond security concerns, there's also the financial factor. As The Wall Street Journal reports, passengers like James Randolph are increasingly saying no to seat-swapping requests. The 35-year-old digital marketing director from Florida prefers to stay put, especially after paying extra for a specific seat. For many travellers, the rise in seat selection fees and basic economy limitations means that every inch of legroom or access to an aisle comes at a price. Refusing to switch isn't about being unfriendly; it's about protecting what you paid for.

Joint fire district funds still need to be split
Funds from the former Northeast Joint Fire District still need to be split between Sheffield and Monroe townships. Sheffield Trustee Alan Kohta, who served on the joint fire district's board, estimated there is $300,000 that needs to be divided. The district relied on UAN, an accounting software system used by fire departments and municipalities across the state, to complete payroll. The joint fire district was formed in 2023, and was composed of Kingsville, Monroe and Sheffield townships. Kingsville withdrew from the district after township voters repeatedly rejected levies to fund it. Sheffield withdrew at a Dec. 31, 2024 township meeting, then temporarily rejoined the district until March 31 to officially close it out, but district services did not resume. The townships need access to the UAN account to distribute the funds. Kohta said Sheffield and Monroe need to reach out to the lawyer who divided the district to see if and how checks would be made and processed, since the district is gone. 'The only thing that's left to do is get the money distributed,' he said. Kohta said the joint fire district's former fiscal officer, Tracy Kohta, has been working with a former district computer to access the UAN software. After the district stopped running calls, the Monroe Volunteer Fire Department reached out to the Pierpont Volunteer Fire Department, and agreed to switch 12 hour shifts monthly. Monroe Fire Chief Jason Coy said the department's agreement with Pierpont has worked out great. 'We're doing fine,' he said. 'We're moving forward.' Coy is thankful for the Pierpont Fire Department for the agreement, he said. Monroe's fire department is in a better position now than in January, Coy said. Sheffield brought back its volunteer fire department after it exited the district. Volunteer recruitment has gone well, Sheffield Fire Chief Robert Ocasio said. 'I'm getting close to 12 so far,' he said. Sheffield's volunteer fire department previously existed before the district's formation. Sheffield entered into a contract with Kingsville for each to provide fire services. Ocasio said the contract has been going well, and he has already been on some calls in Kingsville. The Monroe Fire Department returned some gear to Sheffield that had been originally owned by Sheffield and used by the district. Coy and Ocasio said it was turnout gear firefighters need to have when fighting fires. Coy said Monroe ordered replacement gear. Monroe Trustee Roger Sherman, who also served on the joint district's board, could not be reached for comment.

‘Our goodwill has been abused' – Locals outraged as only hotel to be turned into IPAS centre
'enormous loss' | 'We have 200 buses that pass through our village daily, and we no longer have a hotel' The Merriman Hotel, in Kinvara, Co Galway The Kinvara Community Council (KCC) said the Merriman Hotel was first used to temporarily house a group of asylum seekers in 2019 and has then been used to accommodate Ukrainian refugees since 2022. Community spokesperson Eamonn Coy said 'Back in 2019 we were asked if we would agree for the hotel to be used for a maximum period of three months for emergency accommodation for a small group of asylum seekers. We naturally agreed with that. But the hotel was meant to remain an hotel. 'We allowed on goodwill to carry forward, when the war happened in Ukraine we thought we have to agree to the hotel being used for a period. 'But there's always a stage where goodwill will come to an end, particularly when it has been abused, and here in Kinvara we are seeing nothing but a massive abuse now. Mr Coy said that in recent months a two-year contract has been signed to turn the hotel into an IPAS centre to accommodate 98 residents. The community has strongly opposed the idea and argued that the lack of tourist accommodation in the village is seriously affecting their economy, and the hotel should be returned to the community, as it was intended initially. 'We have been putting a very difficult place here in Kinvara. We're a small coastal village along the Wild Atlantic Way, and very much a critical part of the Wild Atlantic Way. We have 200 buses that pass through our village daily, and we no longer have a hotel. 'So the economic engine of our village we so rely on is really being destroyed. Because we don't have a hotel for people to stay over. 'We have done a survey and we estimated that 1 million people, tourists, pass through village every year. 'We estimated the loss for our village is €2.4 million per year and over the five and a half years the hotel has bene use to house asylum seekers, the overall loss we calculated is €13.3 million. It's an enormous loss.' Also, the community have highlighted they not been consulted on the matter, that the Merriman Hotel would be unsuitable to accommodate such a large group, and they raised concerns over the future of the Ukrainian families who were living there. Mr Coy said: 'The hotel only has 32 bedroom, it's totally unsuitable. It has no leisure facilities, no recreation facilities, it's really inhumane to crowd that many people in for two years. He added: 'The Government told them [the Ukrainians staying in the hotel] three months ago they should pack their bags and be ready to move out. 'We have no desire to push them out of the country, we have several people in the community who now want to provide accommodation for them and allow them to properly integrate into our community. We want to support them, but of course we want the hotel back, there's no question about that.' Kinvara and other community councils are now forming an alliance to bring this issue to the Government's attention. 'We're now forming an alliance with community councils across many parts of the country and we'll be taking out case to government, saying you on breach of your own policy, you have to rescind this contract, and frankly, you're failing to apply proper governance and indeed the whole system of government,' Mr Coy said. Mr Coy added the community has shared frustration over the Government's response so far. 'The worst of all for us is that the Government's policy since 2023 has clearly stated that they will no longer use hotels in towns or villages, because they recognize their huge economic impact. 'At the recent elections they were tripping over themselves to tell us how much they cared and how much interest they had in our needs, they agreed they would protect local interests. 'This morning we had minister Sean Canney, who's supposed to represent the people of our area, totally betray the people of Kinvara. When I heard him this morning on Galway Bay FM, I never heard such a strong attempt to support the Government's wrongdoing. 'We feel our goodwill has been so badly abused, we feel totally betrayed that somehow a minister would come on air defending the indefensible, it's so shocking. It's such an abuse of our goodwill. 'As a country we have to find ways of resolving this, and it's not surprising that people are now becoming so angry about this.' The Irish Independent has contacted the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth for a comment.
