WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A trade group representing major U.S. airlines said Thursday it is not actively seeking new government assistance but would accept new bailout funds as long as no new strings were attached.
A spokeswoman for Airlines for America, a trade group representing Delta Air Lines (N:DAL), United Airlines (O:UAL) and American Airlines (O:AAL), Southwest Airlines (N:LUV) and other major airlines said "if Congress opts to enact the labor-requested proposal, we would support our workforce’s decision to pursue a simple and clean extension of the grants as long as no additional or extraneous conditions are required."
Major airline unions last month asked for another $32 billion in payroll assistance for airlines and contractors to keep workers employed through at least March 31.
