Up, Up and Away: United Bringing New Jobs to SFO
Bay Area Council member United is planning to add 2,200 jobs at San Francisco International Airport next year as part of a purchase of 100 new wide-body jets and 270 smaller jets, the largest such acquisition in commercial aviation history. The new jobs include everything from pilots and baggage handlers to ramp workers to flight attendants.
