House Speaker Nancy Pelosi(D-Calif.) sent a message to Airline CEOs asking them to hold off on furloughs and firings, confirming that a relief bill for airline workers is forthcoming.

“The massive furloughs and firings of America’s airline workers jeopardize the livelihoods of tens of thousands and threaten to accelerate the devastating economic crisis facing our nation.  Today, I am calling upon the airlines to delay their devastating job cuts as relief for airline workers is being advanced in Congress,” Pelosi wrote in a statement Friday.
