An employee of the Red Cross passes by the pictures showing some reunions of family members from North and South Korea, at the headquarters of the Korea Red Cross in Seoul, South Korea, Thursday, March 6, 2014. Seoul said that North Korea rejected Seoul's proposal to hold talks on reunions of families divided by the 1950-53 Korean War. South Korea wants to make such reunions, which were held last month for the first time in more than three years, become regular events, but analysts say Pyongyang worries that could take away a key piece of political leverage with the South. The Korean writing at bottom reads " Applications reception of separated families." (AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon).

The U.S. airline industry will need to hire 1,900 to 4,500 new pilots annually over the next 10 years due to an expected surge in retirements of pilots reaching age 65 and increased demand for air travel, the Government Accountability Office said in the report obtained late Thursday, Feb. 27, 2014.
