CHICAGO, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- United Airlines is offering $100,000 buyouts to flight attendants as it attempts to cut costs after being the only major U.S. airline to report a loss this quarter.
The early-exit plan is available in lump sum payments and United hopes it will have 2,100 takers. It also plans to bring back 1,450 furloughed attendants to work at airports that are thinly staffed, reports Bloomberg.
