United fleet and passenger service workers are suing the airline over a planned cut to their hours, saying it violates their contract and the law providing billions in coronavirus aid from the government.

Last month, United said it reached an agreement with the Treasury Department for about $5 billion in payroll support under the CARES Act.

"Travel demand is essentially zero – you see that at our airports and on board our aircraft – and we don't know when it's going to come back," United's chief operations officer, Greg Hart, said last Friday in a staff note, seen by CNBC.

Bailing out big airlines makes NO SENSE to taxpayers. Take the airlines - $25 per bag, fuel charges, etc and take make MILLIONS in profits. They should have put some aside. Or merged. I've never used United but they had net $2 Billion!
