LONDON (AP) — Airbus said that most of its fleet of 6,000 A320 passenger jets have received an update to fixa software glitchthat could have affected flight controls.
Travelers hadfaced minor disruptionsheading into the weekend as airlines around the world scrambled to push the software updates out to the widely used commercial jetliner. Airbus warned of the problem Friday with U.S. millions of passengers in transit for the Thanksgiving holiday,the busiest travel time in the United States.
The European planemaker said in an update Monday that the "vast majority" of the short-haul passenger jets in service "have now received the necessary modifications."
"We are working with our airline customers to support the modification of less than 100 remaining aircraft to ensure they can be returned to service," Toulouse, France-based Airbus said.
"Airbus apologises for any challenges and delays caused to passengers and airlines by this event," it said.
Airbus said it discovered that "intense solar radiation" could corrupt data that's critical to the functioning of flight controls.
The problem is suspected of contributing to a sudden drop inaltitude of a JetBlue planefrom Cancun, Mexico, to Newark, New Jerseyon Oct. 30, that injured at least 15 passengers, some of them transported to hospitals for medical care.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency required airlines to address the issue with the software update. More than 500 U.S.-registered aircraft were impacted, including jets flown by American Airlines and Delta.
Japan's All Nippon Airways, Air India and Germany's Lufthansa were also affected. The Airbus A320 family of single-aisle aircraft is the primary competitor to Boeing's 737.
A group of FEMA workers has been reinstated after three months of forced leave and an investigation into alleged misconduct forsigning an open letterto Congress that criticized the Trump administration's overhaul of the disaster relief agency and warned it could put American lives in danger.
More than a dozen workers received reinstatement notices from the Federal Emergency Management Agency last week, according to multiple sources and internal emails reviewed by CNN. "The misconduct investigation has been closed, and as a result you are being removed from Administrative Leave," one email said. Some of the staffers have already reported back to work, while others will rejoin their teams this week.
"I was dumbfounded," said Virginia Case, a FEMA external affairs officer who was among those reinstated. "I really did think we were going to get terminated."
FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the agency, did not respond to CNN's request for comment.
The controversy began in August, when more than 190 current and former FEMA officials signed what became known as the "Katrina Declaration." The letter warned Congress that the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle FEMA could put American lives at risk, raising fears of another failed federal disaster response on thescale of Hurricane Katrina.
Most signers remained anonymous, but a handful of current staff — including Case — publicly signed their names. Within days, those employees wereplaced on paid leave.
"Change is always hard," a FEMA spokesperson said in a statement at the time. "It is especially for those invested in the status quo, who have forgotten that their duty is to the American people not entrenched bureaucracy."
FEMA launched formal misconduct investigations in September, summoning the outspoken staffers for interviews. The Trump administration had already suspended or firedmore than 100 employeesat the Environmental Protection Agency for a similar act of dissent earlier in the summer.
In mid-November, one of the FEMA workers received a termination notice as the others remained under investigation. But the employee appealed, and in a sudden reversal, that staffer was among those told last week they could return to work, multiple sources told CNN. David Seide, senior counsel for the Government Accountability Project, which represents some of the workers, said FEMA management emailed the employee to say agency lawyers had determined that signing the letter was protected by whistleblower laws.
Another reinstated worker was told by their supervisor that the investigation found they "didn't abide by policy" but were "protected by the whistleblower act," according to a message viewed by CNN.
"This case is important precedent," Seide told CNN. "It reaffirms what should be obvious. That it is unlawful to retaliate against federal employees who exercise their free speech and whistleblower rights by publicly dissenting against agency policies."
However, some of the reinstated FEMA staffers fear they could still face additional retaliation.
"I don't think that it's over yet. I think it's still an evolving situation," said Abby McIlraith, a FEMA emergency management specialist who was reinstated. "But I know that I didn't do anything wrong, so I feel pretty vindicated and happy to be back and be able to see my co-workers and do my job again."
Case, who returned to work Wednesday, said she had considered resigning to avoid being blacklisted from federal service.
"We were willing to put our jobs on the line for our values," Case said. "I'm grateful that we're able to go back and continue supporting these communities and these survivors."

Investigators in California were working Monday, Dec. 1, to identify one or more suspects whoopened fire at a child's birthday partyover the weekend, killing four people and injuring 11 others.
The shooting erupted at a banquet hall in Stockton at least 100 people gathered for the celebration, according to San Joaquin County Sheriff Patrick Withrow. He said the incident may have involved more than one shooter and appeared to be targeted, but he did not elaborate.
Three children and one adult were killed in the shooting, the sheriff's office said. The shooting left 11 others injured, and several of them, including multiple children, were taken to local hospitals. Withrow said at least one person remained in critical condition.
More:3 children among those killed in shooting at birthday party. What we know.
Stockton shooting at child's birthday party leaves at least 4 dead
Officials have not publicly identified the victims.
After the shooting, the Stockton Police Department said it arrested five people, including one juvenile, on conspiracy, weapons and gang-related charges. It's unclear if the arrests had any connection with the shooting.
Since the deadly attack, which Gov. Gavin Newsom called "horrific," law enforcement officials have asked for the public's help in identifying possible suspects, requesting cell phone video and eye witness accounts.
"We need everyone who has any information on this to reach out to us," Withrow said at a news conference on Sunday, Nov. 30. "This is the time for our community to show that we will not put up with this type of behavior where people will just walk in and kill children."
How the mass shooting at a child's birthday party unfolded
Withrow said authorities first received reports of gunfire at the banquet hall shortly before 6 p.m. on Nov. 29. At the time, as many as 150 people there for a child's birthday party.
Officials said it appears the gunfire started inside the banquet hall before moving outdoors.
Investigators processing the scene viewed multiple cars with bullet holes and retrieved several firearms from the roof of the building, though it's unclear if the weapons were related to the shooting.
Three children – ages 8, 9 and 14 – and a 21-year-old were killed in the shooting, the sheriff's office said.
Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi said the 8-year-old who was killed was a student in the Stockton Unified School District. She said the child's parent also works for the school district.
Fugazi also announced that a $25,000 reward was being offered for information leading to the arrest of any suspects.
Vigil held in memory of Stockton shooting victims
Hours after the deadly shooting, hundreds of people gathered for a prayer vigil near the crime scene.
Speaking to the crowd, Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee recalled a shooting at an elementary school in the late 1980s that killed five children in Stockton.
"We all remember where we were on that day. I don't want to have those types of memories over and over again," he said. He added: "That trauma lives on forever, and this community is dealing with a lot of trauma."
After the vigil, family members could be seen removing gifts and other items from the banquet where the shooting occurred. One man who was wearing a birthday-themed T-shirt said he was retrieving his daughter's belongings. He asked the media for privacy.
'This was not a random act'
Withrow said the attack appears targeted, but did not say why investigators believe that.
"We're going to say that we're confident that this was not a random act," Withrow said at a news conference. "They walked into this area and was probably looking for somebody in particular. Why they did that, what they're part of, who they are — we don't know."

Catches don't get much better than this. With 9:58 left in the third quarter of Sunday's game between the Commanders and Denver Broncos, Washington quarterback Marcus Mariota looked to receiver Treylon Burks in the back right corner of the end zone.
Broncos cornerback Riley Moss had blanket coverage. It didn't matter. Burks reached up with his right hand and plucked the ball from midair. He pulled it into his body with that right hand and maintained possession as he fell backward to the turf with Moss on top of him.
Touchdown, Commanders, on one of the best catches that you'll see in this or any NFL season. It was Burks' lone catch of the game, whichended in a 27-26 overtime victory for the Broncos.
Though, as sensational as the reception was, it certainly wasn't one of a kind.
On Nov. 23, 2014, Odell Beckham Jr. shocked the football world with a one-handed, 43-yard touchdown grab from Eli Manning, the likes of which fans had never seen. That catch — also in prime time on "Sunday Night Football" — has lived on as one of the great highlights in NFL history.

Ten years and one week after his own sensational grab, Beckham chimed in on social media Sunday night with approval for Burks, who just so happens to share his No. 13 jersey.

Thanks to improved skill, inspiration from Beckham andthe aid of advanced grip-enhancing glove technology, players have since made similar, if not-quite-as-spectacular catches as Beckham's.
Few, if any, were better than Burks' on Sunday night.
The Denver Broncos don't always make it easy on themselves, but far more often than not this season, they've won. That can't be said about plenty of teams that have been touted as Super Bowl contenders this season.
Sunday night's Broncos game wasn't unlike many of Denver's previous 11 contests. The defense was good. The offense had some good drives and then disappeared for a few at a time. The running game never got in a rhythm. Bo Nix made some great passes and some alarming ones. And when time was up, they were shaking hands at midfield as a winner.
The Broncos moved closer to winning their first AFC West championship since 2015, but it wasn't easy against the Washington Commanders. After Denver's offense couldn't put the game away in the fourth quarter, but after Washington tied it in end regulation, the Broncos had a quick scoring drive that ended with a touchdown run by rookie R.J. Harvey. The defense gave up a touchdown after that, but stopped a 2-point conversion when Washington went for the win, when Nik Bonitto knocked down a pass that was likely going to be a score. Denver escaped with a 27-26 overtime win.

Other teams might look prettier this season. But there are only two teams remaining this season with only two losses. Denver (10-2) won't apologize for that. You can still win in the NFL by playing stellar defense and grinding out close games.
Denver gets a challenge
Many of the top teams in the NFL heading into Week 13 took on bad losses. It was clear early in Sunday night's game that the Broncos were going to be in a tight game despite taking on an opponent who is well out of theplayoff picture.
The Broncos settled for two short field goals to start the scoring, then Washington got the first touchdown on an 8-yard Chris Rodriguez Jr. run right through the middle. The Broncos led 13-7, scoring a touchdown on a great pass from Nix to Courtland Sutton. On the the play, Nix delivered a fantastic pass right before his leg hit the ground, but that lead didn't last long.
Treylon Burks, the former first-round pick of the Tennessee Titans famously drafted with the selection the Titans got in the A.J. Brown trade, made one of the catches of the year. In the corner of the end zone, with Broncos cornerback Riley Moss all over him, Burks hauled in a touchdown with one hand, drawing immediate comparisons to Odell Beckham Jr.'s famous one-handed catch when he was with the Giants.

The Commanders, at 3-8 coming into the game and without quarterback Jayden Daniels, led the Broncos 14-13 after Burks' spectacular play. The Broncos had a 9-2 record coming in, but they didn't look at all dominant for most of the first three quarters. That happened to a lot of the so-called best teams in the NFL this week.
Broncos can't put game away vs. Commanders
The Broncos have a stifling defense and an inconsistent offense, and that leads to plenty of their games being ugly. Denver took a 20-14 lead and it seemed like maybe it could start to lean on Washington at that point and cruise to a comfortable win. That didn't happen.
Nix had a terrible interception in the fourth quarter, seemingly never seeing linebacker Bobby Wagner over the middle and throwing it right into his chest. That immediately gave Washington some life, though the Commanders got only a field goal out of the gift.
The Broncos needed one big drive in the fourth quarter to put the game away and couldn't do it. Their four fourth-quarter drives ended in an interception and three punts. The Broncos put trust in their defense to win the game, but eventually Washington moved the ball. Given three minutes to get a field goal, Mariota made some big passes, including one on fourth-and-6 to keep the game alive, and Jake Moody hit a 32-yard field goal on the final play of regulation to send the game to overtime.
Washington elected to kick off to start overtime — the strategy of how to handle that with the new regular-season overtime rules has been debated, but in this case it gave the Denver defense a much-needed rest — and the Broncos' offense came alive. A 41-yard pass from Nix to Evan Engram set up a 5-yard touchdown run by Harvey. That forced Washington to score a touchdown or the game would end. There were plenty more theatrics to go.
The game seemed to be over on a fourth-down interception, but the game continued on a defensive pass interference penalty on Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga. Denver made absolutely nothing easy on itself Sunday night.
The Broncos caught a break. On a touchdown to Terry McLaurin, rookie right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. was called for holding. Instead of a touchdown, it was third-and-14. But Mariota, who played very well against a good defense, came back and hit Deebo Samuel for 38 yards to the 2-yard line. A run play was stopped for a loss, then Mariota threw two incomplete passes including one to Zach Ertz that he had in his grasp but couldn't haul in. On fourth-and-goal, Mariota hit McLaurin for a touchdown, and Washington went for the 2-point conversion.
Bonitto came up huge to knock down Mariota's pass and Denver had the win.
It wasn't the type of dominating performance you'd expect for a 10-2 team, but it was a win.

Final: Broncos 27, Commanders 26
The Broncos survived, and have now won nine straight. They sit at 10-2, and are tied atop the AFC standings.

Broncos get the stop!
The Broncos get the stop! They just swarmed Marcus Mariota in the backfield there and swatted his pass before erupting on the sidelines in celebration. What a win.
Now for a brutal penalty on the Commanders. Marcus Mariota just threw a deep touchdown pass to seemingly tie the game up, but it was waived off due to a holding penalty. Wow.
Ryan Young
Broncos with a late DPI
The Broncos nearly sacked Marcus Mariota on fourth down there, and then came up with the interception to officially clinch their win. But it was all called off after defensive pass interference was called on Talanoa Hufanga.
That's absolutely brutal. The game was over, and now Washington will get a first down.
Ryan Young
Touchdown, Broncos!
RJ Harvey finished the job after Evan Engram's big reception, and the Broncos have struck first in overtime!
The Commanders just rallied out of a third-and-25, and converted on fourth down to keep their drive alive. They're now suddenly in field goal range with about 26 seconds left.
Commanders convert 4th down into field goal range!
The Broncos couldn't convert a first down there, and were completely shut down on third-and-short perfectly. The Commanders will take over now at their own 14 yard line with three minutes to go and a single timeout.
Ryan Young
The Broncos had big sack in the backfield (that should've been tripping) and then a near-miss on a deep pass to Ertz on third down to get Washington off the field right away.
Alex Singleton saves the Broncos defense with a huge PBU!
They'll get the ball back, and can end this thing.
Ryan Young
Commanders have a chance to win it
Washington got the stop, and will now get the ball back with just under 5 minutes to go. If Marcus Mariota is going to pull this upset win off, it'll likely have to be now.
Ryan Young
Well, Washington failed to take advantage. We've got another three-and-out, so the Commanders will have to punt now.
Denver is getting the ball back with about 8:40 left.
Ryan Young
Luvu just came up with a huge sack on third down, and that's a quick three-and-out for the Commanders defense. Exactly what Bo Nix didn't want.
Washington will get the ball back now with 10:12 left.
Ryan Young
Commanders add 3
The drive stalled out right away, but the Commanders added a quick field goal after the Wagner interception.
