twitterThousands more jobs to be cut
Friday, Oct. 18, 2002 | 10:57 a.m.
ATLANTA -- Delta Air Lines is cutting 7,000 to 8,000 more jobs to try to stem dramatic financial losses following last year's terrorist attacks and a still sluggish economy.
Chairman and CEO Leo F. Mullin told company employees Thursday that he hoped many of the job reductions, which will include management, could come through voluntary-leave, early retirement and severance programs. If there are not enough volunteers for these programs, the company will lay off workers.
With these latest cuts, Delta has slashed 21,000 jobs, or 25 percent of its work force since Sept. 11, 2001.
