UPDATED: Fort Worth-based American Airlines cutting jobs

Fort Worth-based American Airlines announced Thursday that they are reducing their workforce by 8% by the end of 2008, a move that will affect both management and other departments.

The cuts come about a month after American announced that they were cutting their flights by 11-12%, so a cause-and-effect link can probably be intimated. Or maybe people just aren't checking enough bags.

UPDATE: American told the flight attendants' union today that they will possibly furlough 900 flight attendants by the end of August. Sure seems like a specific number for just a possibility; methinks this is actually happening.

American Airlines looks like a benevolent father compared to the Nielsen Company (TV viewer/market share company). Nielsen is firing it's American workers, replacing them with cheaper (US based)workers thru the Hb-1 visa program, and requiring the fired workers to train the new employees as part of their serverance package.

Talk about corporate hutspah!!!
