Airline passenger traffic is plunging around the world because of coronavirus. That means tens of thousands of airline workers will probably soon be out of work, at least temporarily.

Airlines are already adjusting its staffing by asking employees to take vacation at reduced pay or unpaid leaves of absence. So far, airlines' job cuts have not been permanent. But some companies have frozen hiring, which could hurt airlines' abilities to fill jobs they need filled once the crisis passes."Every airline will have to look at doing something like this," said airline consultant Michael Boyd."It's just good, solid planning.

Earlier this week, United Airlines and JetBlue both announced cuts in their schedules because of sharply lower demand, and both said they would adjust staffing levels. United, which cut overseas flights by 20% and domestic and Canadian flights by 10%, said employees could request voluntary unpaid leave or reduced schedules, and it would freeze hiring. A class of 23 pilots that was set to start work at United this week has not yet been assigned roles.

So ... “they” shamelessly HOPE TO keep GOING this vile trade IMPORT-EXPORT of DEADLY DESEASE , be aware, without their underhanded efforts THIS DREADING virus 🦠 will never BE ABLE TO REACH from CHINA DOOM TO PATAGONIA in just few hours 🤬🤬🤬

cnn are fearmongers and people are stupid to listen to them.

The upside of this maybe an increase in domestic travel in the respective countries. Why fly to Italy if you can drive to Mpumalanga or Miami

Correction: the media wants them to be out of work. The media wants this to be as bad as possible. Whenever another person is diagnose they cheer with Glee .

Most ppl are living paycheck to paycheck. This will have catastrophic effects.

😞😞

Why doesn't the airlines utilize them as airplane cleaners?

The world is a big space yet a small space

I’m hearing about a new Virus detected in Atlanta,Ga. headquarters the most common symptom is diarrhea of the mouth!!

The airlines spread the virus around world in the first place, while making record profits. Now I’m supposed to feel bad about them losing money. I feel bad for the workers, not the corporate airlines.

Also airport restaurants and gift shops will also be affected. They might close temporarily

Not good news

Also anything that is dependent on tourism 😥

Oh...but people still love those cruises!

I’m all for the airlines declaring Bankruptcy! If you can’t swim there you don’t need to go there!
