A Qantas Boeing 787 flying from Melbourne to Dallas diverted to Tahiti after a disruptive passenger allegedly bit a flight attendant and had to be restrained with help from other passengers.

The FAA has a novel way to ease the air traffic controller shortage: lower the staffing target by 2,000. Plus: a king cobra emerges from a resort toilet, Delta defends its Wi-Fi portal after Elon Musk’s Starlink jab, and American serves a very sad international meal.

Working slowly back towards the main entrance of Bryce Canyon National Park on that frosty cold December morning after Rainbow Point and Yovimpa Point, the next stop was Black Birch Canyon. Access to Black Birch Canyon — whose lookout is at an elevation of...
