American warns 13,000 employees of furloughs as airlines prepare to lose federal aid next month

American Airlines on Wednesday said it will send furlough notices this week to about 13,000 employees as a second round of federal payroll aid is set to expire next month and travel demand remains in tatters. The latest $15 billion Congress approved for U.S. carriers late last year required airlines to recall the employees they furloughed in the fall and maintain payroll through March 31. It was the second round of Covid aid for the industry; Congress gave airlines $25 billion last March to keep them from cutting employees through the fall. American is the only large U.S. carrier to furlough pilots, as United, Delta and other carriers reached deals with unions that allowed for some reduced flying or pay in exchange for not cutting jobs. The Allied Pilots Association, American Airlines pilots' union, said it would try to reduce the number of furloughs but criticized the airline's financial decisions in recent years and the fact that it didn't use voluntary measures to spread out flying to limit job cuts.

U.S. air travel plunged 95% by April, a few weeks after the first significant coronavirus outbreaks in the United States.
