That's the equivalant of 133 pilots with 80-hour lines.

I'm glad when the Dick Anderson says domestic flying will be reduced by 10% it means CHQ, Freedom, SkyWest, and Pinnacle each lose 2% and Comair loses 20% to make up for it. We're Delta's go-to airline allright.

Mesaba just gets cut 10% because they're still new to the Delta ButtLove game.

And Anderson doesn't even know about Compass yet.

Why would he relax if Comair is taking most of the cuts in the DCI network? Are you and most of your fellow pilots losing your jobs? If not; then you are not feeling the pain.

Losses drive more job cuts at Delta
Megan Kuhn, Washington DC (07Aug09, 23:32 GMT, 152 words)

More job cuts are forthcoming at loss-making Delta Air Lines, which reported a net loss of $257 million for the second quarter of 2009.

The recession, along with the H1N1 virus, has driven down the Atlanta-based operator's revenues by more than $3 billion during the first six months of this year.

"That equates to more than $40,000 in lost revenue per employee," Delta CEO Richard Anderson and Delta subsidiary Northwest Airlines CEO Ed Bastian say in a memo to company officers and directors. They add that they do not expect revenues to improve significantly this year.

So, Delta must eliminate more salaried positions beyond the management and administrative posts cut during the past 18 months, the CEOs say.

They note that previous frontline cuts occurred though voluntary programmes. "However, we must more aggressively manage general and administrative costs," they say.

In addition, Delta will trim its budget for vendors and professional services.

Meaning that they're not going to offer voluntary packages this time. It's going to be a straight flush, which is going to suck for those who are chosen to be flushed. I see Comair following Delta's lead and flushing employees as well!

I wonder if Delta will end up furloughing Pilots? Suck to be a DL or Compass pilot then.
