United Airlines is eyeing the hiring of 15,000 workers nationwide after the air carrier decided to buy scores and possibly hundreds of Boeing jetliners.
The air carrier says it has placed an order for at least 100 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, “the largest widebody order by a U.S. carrier in commercial aviation history.” The airline also says it has the option to buy another 100 of the massive jets.
All of this adds up to plenty of hiring at the seven major hubs operated by United Airlines. United plans to add 2,600 jobs at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, and 2,200 jobs at San Francisco International Airport, the airline said.
