The USA: The United States is facing a job vacancy in the aviation industry
The United States is facing a job vacancy in the aviation industry. The state supports the airlines with billions of euros, but the job security in return expires at the end of September. Tens of thousands of jobs are available at United and American Airlines.The American airline American Airlines is preparing deep cuts in the face of the ongoing burden of the corona pandemic. As of an internal memo, around a fifth of the workforce could be sent on unpaid forced leave from October. 25,000 employees have already received corresponding warnings."With rising infection rates and several US states putting quarantine restrictions back in place, the demand for air travel is falling again," said CEOs Doug Parker and Robert Isom in the letter to the workforce. In June, Americans' revenues fell by over 80 percent year-on-year. The hope of a quick recovery has now evaporated.
No downsizing by the end of September
In return, US airlines such as American Airlines had to commit to $ 25 billion in state aid in the Corona crisis not to cut staff by the end of September. However, since the situation in the industry is still precarious and has recently deteriorated again due to the renewed corona escalation in the USA, there is now a wave of layoffs in the fall.United Airlines had also recently informed 36,000 employees - over a third of its employees - of impending forced leave. However, not everyone who receives the warnings must ultimately be affected. US companies are required to inform employees 60 days in advance. First, American and United Airlines want to continue to rely on voluntary solutions.
