United Airlines cutting 300 management positions at Chicago HQ
United Airlines is in the midst of pruning some 300 management positions at the airline's headquarters in the Willis Tower. The staff reductions are expected to be completed by late spring of this year. The reductions are tied to a long-term strategy — outlined by CE Oscar Munoz last fall — to improve network connectivity and revenue management, while continuing to maintain disciplined cost control. Munoz said at the time that his new strategy is expected to generate US$4.8b in earnings improvement by 2020. A spokeswoman said the cuts were being made after management had examined every department and determined what the airline's optimal employment needs were. The layoffs across multiple departments are not expected to affect front-line operations. <br/>
