SocraticGadfly: American may lay off 900

American may lay off 900

American Airlines says it is looking at furloughing 900 flight attendants next month. That’s combined with retirement packages for those over the age of 50 and with more than 15 years of American service time.

While it has a severance package, I don’t see that that includes a years-of-service credit for those with less than 20, or whatever.

Besides, why are they not being rehired as baggage police?

At American, I have no doubt this is known as “taking an Arpey” on your employees.
