United Airlines pauses pilot hiring for two months due to Boeing 737 Max delivery delays.

United Airlines has paused pilot hiring for two months due to delivery delays from Boeing, which is under investigation for 737 Max safety issues. The hiring delay is expected to stunt United Airlines' growth plans for 2024. United said in a memo that it will pause pilot hiring for May and June, while the carrier had planned to receive 80 Boeing Max 10 planes this year, part of an outstanding order with Boeing for 277 of the planes.
