United Airlines has announced a temporary pause in pilot hiring for the next two months due to delays in Boeing 737 MAX deliveries. This decision was revealed in an internal memo, which cited the ongoing challenges faced by Boeing in delivering the aircraft.
The Boeing 737 MAX has been a focal point for both Boeing and airlines worldwide following two fatal crashes involving the model in 2018 and 2019. The crashes led to the grounding of the aircraft for nearly two years as Boeing worked on implementing safety improvements.
