United Airlines said it will cut an additional 600 flight attendant positions this year, bringing the total number of flight attendant job reductions planned in 2009 to more than 2,000. The cuts reportedly will begin Aug. 31. "We will offer our flight attendants a voluntary package and hope to receive enough responses to prevent any involuntary furloughs," the airline said. UA and cabin staff represented by the Assn. of Flight Attendants-CWA in April launched negotiations on their labor contract that is amenable Jan. 7, 2010 (ATWOnline, April 14).
US Air Transport Assn. said yesterday that US airline passenger revenue dropped 26% year-over-year in May, the seventh straight month of decline. The number of passengers traveling on US airlines fell 9.5% year-over-year while the average price to fly 1 mi. decreased 17.6%. "Revenue declines extended beyond the mainland United States to the transatlantic, transpacific and Latin markets," ATA said. "May results also reflect the impact of the H1N1 (swine) influenza outbreak." April cargo traffic was down 22% compared to the year-ago month, the ninth consecutive month of falling cargo traffic.
