ATLANTA (AP) - Orlando-based discount carrier AirTran Airways iscutting 480 jobs, or more than 5 percent of its work force, amid
difficult financial times due largely to soaring fuel prices.
The airline told employees that 180 pilot jobs and 300 flight
attendant jobs will be eliminated effective September 6th. Flights
also will be reduced in September.
AirTran is offering an early out voluntary program for employees
with at least five years of service.
Healy said there could be other job cuts at the company in the
future as officials deal with rising oil prices.
