United Airlines says furloughed workers would return only ‘temporarily’ if Congress passes additional aid Leslie Josephs Billions in additional federal aid set for airlines would allow carriers to call back more than 32,000 furloughed workers, but their jobs may only be safe for a few months, United Airlines executives say. The bill would give U.S. passenger carriers $15 billion in additional coronavirus relief on the condition that they keep current and fur- loughed workers on payroll until the end of March. Lawmakers could pass as early as Monday night. United furloughed about 13,000 employees this fall as the last round of coronavirus aid, a $25 billion package for U.S. carriers, expired. Airlines were required to keep workers on payroll. United CEO Scott Kirby and President Brett Hart told workers Monday that if the bill passes employees can “temporarily come back to United through March 2021.” “This is certainly good news for our economy, our industry, and our airline - but it’s especially good news for those who have been without a paycheck, and we can’t wait to welcome them back,” said the staff note. But the United executives cautioned that they don’t expect a rebound in travel demand between now and the end of the first quarter. “The truth is, we just don’t see anything in the data that shows a huge difference in bookings over the next few months,” they wrote. “That is why we expect the recall will be temporary.” o~~~ O
