PILOTS FOR UNITED AIRLINES APPROVE 29% PAY CUT Pilots for United Airlines voted to approve the 29 percent interim pay cuts proposed by the carrier as part of its push to cut costs in bankruptcy, the pilots' union said yesterday. The 8,500 pilots are the first of United's employees to agree to the immediate, temporary pay cuts, and they did so by an overwhelming majority. Seventy-seven percent of pilots participated in the weeklong voting, and 92 percent of those approved the cuts as recommended by union leaders. As United's highest-paid union employees, the pilots will have the most taken out of their paychecks even if other unions follow suit. Flight attendants also have been voting since last week on whether to accept a 9 percent wage reduction, as agreed to by union leaders. Two smaller unions, representing flight dispatchers and meteorologists, are also conducting ratification votes on proposed 13 percent cuts. (AP) CIGNA CUTS 3,000 JOBS AND WILL TAKE A CHARGEThe Cigna Corporation, the health insurer, said yesterday that it was cutting more than 3,000 jobs as it revamps itself after failing to raise health premiums enough to cover medical costs. The company said it was cutting 3,250 employees to revamp its operations, leading to a $98 million after-tax charge in the fourth quarter of 2002. Cigna will cut 2,150 workers in the first quarter of this year.
