Earlier this month, TransAsia Airways’ executive board decided to merge with their subsidiary company, V Air.
V Air, which employs approximately 250 people, has already made a series of redundancies, with approximately 20 members of staff laid off in the short term. Management from TransAsia Airways and V Air are due to make a final decision on staffing levels before the end of the month.
V Air, which has been operating for less than two years, has made losses of nearly NT$1 billion. Following the announcement of a merger with TransAsia Airways, there has been a succession of voluntary resignations among its employees, who have chosen not to wait for the results of the redundancy process. V Air has announced it has already let go of approximately 20 pilots and cabin crew that have not yet started training, because their positions will not be needed in the future.

V Air has indicated that, following the merger, adjustments will be made to staffing levels and that not all V Air employees will be able to transfer to TransAsia Airways. The airline expects staffing requirements will be clear by the end of the month, after which time the company will enter into a consultation process with employees to discuss their futures with the company.

復興航空董事會八月初決定合併威航。
威航員工約兩百五十人，近期已陸續展開人力資遣約二十餘人，威航及復興航空的管理階層將於八月底前定案人力的需求及去留人數。
威航營運不到兩年虧損近新台幣十億元，日前宣布與復興航空合併後，已陸續有員工未接受資遣而自行離職，威航表示，尚在受訓中的機師和空服員，因未來沒有工作職缺的需求，已陸續資遣二十餘人。
威航指出，合併後一定會有人力調整，且並非所有威航的人員都會轉到復興航空，預計八月底人力需求數量會明朗，隨後將詢問員工留任或資遣的意願。(中央社)

Most people enjoy the simple pleasure of creating bubbles using soap and water or a handy bubble gun, but have you ever wondered why these bubbles come out in such a uniform, spherical form? The answer delves into the fascinating realm of physics and the special behaviors of liquids. Soap bubbles are formed when air molecules become trapped inside a thin layer of soapy water, giving them a shimmering appearance. As a liquid, the soapy film takes up the smallest possible surface area—water molecules naturally do this to achieve the most stable state. And guess what shape has the least surface
