United Airlines is eliminating nearly 1,000 pilots as part of its overall cutback strategy that includes grounding several gas-guzzling jets.

The airline plans to eliminate about 950 pilots, in addition to earlier cutbacks among management ranks. The cuts represent about 12 percent of the total number of pilots employed by United.

United is also eliminating as many as 1,600 salaried and management jobs, with many of the cuts hitting its corporate headquarters in suburban Chicago.
