United and Continental Airlines is distributing US$265 million in profit sharing to employees.
The company is paying eligible employees approximately five percent of their annual pay for profit sharing.
“My co-workers worked together all year to deliver solid financial results, reliable operational performance and excellent customer service,” said Jeff Smisek, United Continental Holdings’ president and CEO.
“We are sharing the results of working together by distributing more than a quarter of a billion dollars in profit sharing.”
Smisek will deliver profit-sharing cheques to employees at the airline’s hubs at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston and O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.
Other officers of the company are traveling to locations around the globe to distribute profit sharing to employees.
