Delta Air Lines to Lay Off 1,000 More Employees
Posted on: Thursday, 5 June 2008, 03:00 CDT
Delta Air Lines has said that it will eliminate 3,000 jobs as against the originally planned cut of 2,000, as 1,000 more employees have accepted the company's buyout packages.
Delta has recently offered two buyout packages to 30,000 non-pilot employees in the US to eliminate up to 2,000 jobs.
Bizjournals quoted Kent Landers, spokesman of Delta Air Lines, as saying: "It's possible in future plans that some of those positions could be hired back. But this gives us more flexibility to adapt to rising fuel prices without having to involuntarily reduce the number of front-line employees."
