United issued the following statement this afternoon:"In response to requests from its labor unions, and in light of ongoing discussions with them, United said that it will delay until tomorrow (Dec. 27) a filing under Section 1113 of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code."
AFA views this announcement as a positive development and an indication of both party's dedication to collaborative and continuous work towards United's successful restructuring and emergence from bankruptcy. Working diligently to represent the best interests of the United Flight Attendants, AFA continues to be engaged in discussions to attempt to minimize the impact of the significant Contractual concessions the company is seeking during the reorganization.
