United Airlines plans to lay off 16,370 employees when the US airline industry
support package expires on October 1. This includes 6,920 cabin employees,
1,400 administrative and management jobs and 2,850 pilots.
 
United had already given up about 36,000 employees in July, but not all of
them need to be fired due to a voluntary severance scheme. Competitor American
Airlines recently announced that it would cut 19,000 jobs. The complete
figures of Delta are not yet known.
 
Meanwhile, US airlines continue to lobby for a new bailout package. President
Trump said on Tuesday he wanted to help them, but did not provide details.
