United Airlines, pilots reach deal to avoid furloughs
Leslie Josephs

United Airlines says it’s reached an agreement in principle with
its pilots union that could avoid planned furloughs of close to
3,000 aviators.

The details weren’t immediately available and union members
would still have to approve the cost-cutting plan. United follows
Southwest, JetBlue and Spirit in striking deals to avoid involuntary
cuts.

Airlines and labor unions have been scrambling to secure additional
federal aid as a $25 billion package prohibiting job cuts is set to
expire on Oct. 1. That proposal has gained bipartisan support,
but Congress and the White House have so far failed to agree
on the terms of another national coronavirus aid package that
could include additional airline aid.

In the meantime, airlines have urged workers to take unpaid
or partially paid time off, buyouts and other options to reduce
payroll expenses.
