The CEO of United Airlines says that a spate of recent incidents ranging from a panel that fell off a plane to another jet losing a wheel on take-off will cause the airline to review its safety training for employees.

CEO Scott Kirby said the airline was already planning an extra day of training for pilots starting in May and changes in training curriculum for newly hired mechanics.
