Well my estimate of number of furloughs just increased now that management isn’t cutting hours of 15,000 workers from 40hrs a week to 30hrs a week. Doug Parker is a smart guy, and that was just another knife in the gut for an already bleeding UAL.
United can not afford paying full payroll of 93,000 people for the next 6 months while making virtually $0 in revenue and having all the other fixed costs that cannot be shed. This is going to be ugly.
