United Gives the Axe - United to Cut 1,000 While Collar Jobs by End of Year

White collar? What exactly does that mean? Well, the article says managerial and salaried positions will be cut - 1,000 of them by end of year. So the hourly baggage handler is safe.

CHICAGO - United Airlines will eliminate at least 1,000 salaried and management jobs by the end of the year as part of its efforts to reduce costs, CEO Glenn Tilton said Wednesday.

The employees to be laid off from the nation's second-largest airline represent about 11 percent of its 9,400 salaried workers and nearly 2 percent of the company's work force of approximately 57,000.

Good for United. Get rid of the middle management waste and focus more on super hot flight attendants.
