We can only hope that the folks that run the fuel hedging program are part of the group getting "nimbled".



Delta to reduce some management, salaried positions to remain nimbleOctober 2, 2015



Over the last week, Delta has been communicating to leaders that the airline will be reducing some salaried and management positions to improve productivity and remain nimble.
The airline said, “Delta's strong performance and ability to run the best operation in the industry have given the company great momentum. Still, as with any company focused on long-term success, we must continue to look for ways to improve productivity and stay nimble particularly given that revenue has declined this year. Over the course of the next few months, Delta will reduce some salaried positions while continuing to hire flight attendants, pilots, reservations specialists and other frontline employees.”
