US Air to cut 1,000 jobs, reduce routes
Struggling airline announce restructuring plan to become profitable again.
http://money.cnn.com/2009/10/28/news...cuts/index.htmNEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- US Airways will cut 1,000 jobs and scale back its flying routes as part of a restructuring plan to turn the struggling airline profitable again, the company announced Wednesday.
The cutbacks that will happen in the first half of 2010 include 200 pilots, 150 flight attendants and 600 airport passenger and service ramp positions, US Air said in a statement.
The Tempe, Ariz.-based airline will refocus its routes to fly through its three major hubs -- Charlotte, N.C., Philadelphia and Phoenix, Ariz. -- and Washington, D.C., through which the airline runs an hourly shuttle service to New York's LaGuardia Airport and Boston.
The change will reduce flights from Las Vegas to 36 daily departures by February next year from its current 64 flights.
The crew bases in Boston, LaGuardia and Las Vegas will also close in 2010 and relocate to one of the hubs or Washington.
US Air (LCC, Fortune 500) will drop service in Colorado Springs, Colo., and Wichita, Kan., and will also cut international flights.
The carrier will suspend flights between its Philadelphia hub and European cities including Birmingham, England; London Gatwick; Milan, Italy; Shannon, Ireland, and Stockholm, Sweden. Flights between Philadelphia and Beijing are also on hold "until economic conditions improve," the airline said.Last edited by chefdennis; 10-28-2009 at 08:37 PM.
There are people in need of help. Charity is one of the nobler human motivations. The act of reaching into one's own pockets to help a fellow man in need is praiseworthy and laudable. Reaching into someone else's pocket is despicable and worthy of condemnation.

Naw, it is great thing.... Boeing should get the same help as Air Bus does from the EU and we in this country should stop the off shore maintenance of aircraft to help with the economy. There is a reason why I don't fly commercial.

Re: More jobs for the south...Boeing picks South Carolina for 2nd 787 line
It is a wash in that boeing is putting 787 people to work, and US air is cutting 1000 jobs.....nothing to do with the industry, simply the balance of job gain and job loss...nothing more....
As for Boeing getting help from our gov as Air bus does from the EU...won't happen....and the airlines will maintain their planes where is benefical to their buttonline, thats all that matters for them...they need every dime they can get no matter where it comes from and the savings on labor dollars is enough to dicate where they do the work...as shoddy as it is.....There are people in need of help.

Re: More jobs for the south...Boeing picks South Carolina for 2nd 787 line
ROTFLMAO!! Dang! and i knew that too! Oh well that what happens when you don't pay attention... So what are the chances of them adding 1000 jobs!?!? I mean even if they do, its a swap.....add a 1000...subtract a 1000...heck even if it was 1000 meat cutters that lost their jobs, makes no difference in the "balance" of adding to the employment rolls and removing from the same...
I guess it just depends when you are in the circle.....lolThere are people in need of help. Charity is one of the nobler human motivations.
