Striking United Airlines pilots called for a resumption of negotiations as their strike against the nation’s largest air carrier entered its 11th day with hundreds of flights grounded on the unofficial start of the summer holiday season. “We are ready, willing and able to meet with United, with or without a mediator, to try to end this strike,” Air Line Pilots Assn. spokesman Capt. Roger Hall said in Chicago. United spokesman Joe Hopkins, asked about the union’s offer, said: “We have not been approached by the pilots’ union, and no talks are scheduled.”
