What a gut-punch. The only thing I ever truly wanted to do was work for United; I could never find my “in”. For the first time I’m glad I didn’t. A very heartfelt sorry to all UA employees - this is such a mess.
I don’t know how unemployment insurance works but this may be an attempt by UA to limit it’s payout for the thousands they’ll let go in October. As far as I know if you voluntarily separate you get zilch in unemployment benefit.
