REUTERS: United Airlines Holdings Inc plans to cut at least 3,400 management and administrative positions in October as the coronavirus pandemic crushes air travel demand, and has told pilots to brace for changes as well, according to two memos seen by Reuters.
Chicago-based United is among the US airlines that have accepted US government payroll aid that bans job or pay cuts before Sep 30. However, United and other carriers have warned that demand is unlikely to recover to pre-crisis levels by that date, forcing them to shrink in the fall.The United memos are the first indication of just how much major airlines might downsize due to the health crisis.
"We have to acknowledge that there will be serious consequences to our company if we don’t continue to take strong and decisive action, which includes making decisions that none of us ever wanted or expected to make," Kate Gebo, Executive Vice President Human Resources and Labor Relations, said in the memo to some 11,500 management and administrative employees.
Affected employees will be notified in mid to late July for an Oct 1 effective date, she said, while encouraging employees to consider a voluntary separation before that date.
