United Airlines Notifies Pilots of Plans for 2,850 Furloughs
Chicago-based United Airlines has become the latest U.S. major to call for an extension of Covid relief to avoid furloughs.

United Airlines on Thursday became the latest of the three big U.S. major carriers to signal a need for furloughs if the government doesn’t soon extend further Covid relief for the nation’s airlines. The plan calls for a furlough of 2,850 pilots, the first 1,747 to occur on October 1, the next 572 on October 30, and another 531 on November 30.
