A group of 16 Senate Republicans expressed their support for an extension of the $25 billion payroll support program for United States airlines Wednesday, as the demand for air travel remains suppressed and tens of thousands of airline employees face potential furloughs and layoffs.
"In recent weeks several airlines have notified significant segments of their workforces that their jobs could be at risk on October 1, 2020, following the expiration of CARES Act relief," the senators wrote to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.United Airlines and American Airlines have already announced they are preparing to furlough up to 36,000 and 25,000 employees, respectively, due to lack of business amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The program"saved hundreds of thousands of frontline airline workers' jobs—and not a penny went to the airlines themselves or their shareholders," the representatives wrote.In an interview with the Washington Post, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said he would support a"clean extension" of the PSP for another six months.
