If Congress enacts labor’s proposal, “we would support our workforce’s decision to pursue a simple and clean extension of the grants as long as no additional or extraneous conditions are required,” an A4A spokeswoman said.

Airlines also agreed not to force any job cuts before October, giving them time to assess the pace of a recovery.

Now over 60,000 airline workers at American Airlines (O:AAL) and United Airlines (O:UAL) alone are facing furlough warnings.
