United Continental Holdings Inc. said it expects to reach a decision as soon as Monday on how the airline will proceed after Chief Executive Officer Oscar Munoz was hospitalized.
Munoz, 56, suffered a heart attack on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter. Last week, United directors were at an impasse on whether to appoint an interim CEO or start seeking a new one, another person familiar with the situation said. The board lacked enough information then on how to proceed, the person said.
