United hasn't made such an announcement, but they've also failed to meet even half of their hiring forecast numbers for the past few years.
I suspect all airlines will slow hiring. In the past five years Delta has almost always added a bunch of extra summer flying late in the spring. Did not happen this year. There are fewer routes you can fly profitably with oil at 72 a barrel vice 36.
