Mass Layoffs Loom, up to 4500 pilots will be made redundant and F/A's will be 3 to 4 times that number. Management and admin staffs looking at 30% cut on Oct. 1st.

Source is some lame FA recruitment website, with the “journalist” being a FA himself.

May as well post an article from my kid’s school newspaper.

Similar to the lame post Scare Bear put on AA site about what great shape AA is in ... written by a college student/pilot wannabe.

This is a non-US born FA, and not even a United employee.

The article is just another rehash of the obvious. 'Cut your spending because bad times are here' isn't exactly breaking news.


In other stuff, I haven't seen what's going on with the FAs. Have they offered a FA retirement incentive package to help reduce United's average FA age to 65?
