United Airlines, pilots union agree to delay furloughs until October 30

CHICAGO (Reuters) – United Airlines and the union representing its pilots have agreed to delay furloughs until Oct. 30, according to a memorandum of understanding seen by Reuters.

United had planned to furlough around 2,850 pilots on Oct. 1 without an extension of federal payroll support that expires this month, or a deal with the unions to avert job cuts.
