Will All United Airlines' Pilots be on Payroll October Onward?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Per a Reuters report, leaders of United Airlines (UAL - Free Report) pilots’ union (Air Line Pilots Association) voted in favor of approving a tentative deal. Terms of the deal though are kept undisclosed. Notably, the Air Line Pilots Association represents roughly 13,000 pilots of this Chicago-based carrier.
By backing the deal, the union moved a inched closer to protecting jobs of nearly 2,850 pilots at United Airlines until June 2021. Following the support of union leaders, the provisional deal will be put to a full vote by union members from Sep 21.
We remind investors that earlier this month, United Airlines, which currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), had warned that it will have to furlough about 16,370 employees including 2, 850 pilots starting next month.
The entire scenario of job cuts can, however, be avoided if another round of federal help comes through. Many airline companies including American Airlines (AAL - Free Report) are lobbying for another $25-billion worth federal aid to protect jobs through March 2021. However, nothing has materialized yet
Long-term earnings per share (three to five years) growth rate for Knight-Swift is expected at 15%.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $24 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $77.6 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
