United Welcomes Back 107 Mechanics in Recall

Today we announced the recall of approximately 107 Line Maintenance mechanics from furlough as an investment in our key areas of focus related to our Clean, Workable Product and operational reliability initiatives. These mechanics will focus on improving the workability of items in our cabins, reducing the number of out-of-service aircraft and ensuring the reliability of our airplanes. "The International Brotherhood of Teamsters approached us to discuss opportunities to efficiently improve the workability of our aircraft, and we are pleased that collaboratively we were able to work out a way to bring these mechanics back," says Jim Keenan, SVP-United Services. "It is essential that we make strategic investments in our product, to continue providing our customers with great service." The 107 mechanics will be recalled at all of our hubs. The recall process will begin immediately.
