By Shuli Ren Nothing cements a venture capital firm’s reputation like a good exit. After a long dry spell, Masayoshi Son is finally catching a break: The listing of Uber Technologies Inc. made his Vision Fund one of the rare investors to book a capital gain from its stake, amounting to 418 billion yen ($3.81 billion) in the March quarter.

Following a weekend of more than 100 cancellations, Jetstar says it will be forced to cancel 10 per cent of their flights throughout the month of January. “Industrial action doesn’t change the fact the wage claims being made by the TWU and AFAP are unsustainable,” Jetstar CEO Gareth Evans said in a statement. “In the case of the pilots, the union is asking for what amounts to a 15 per cent wage increase in the first year in a group where captains earn more than $300,000 a year.
