ON NOTICE: 900 American Flight Attendants Could Get Axed

Filed under: Flight Attendants — Rick Seaney @ 1:00 pm

American Airlines has sent a so-called WARN letter to 900 of its flight attendants, in effect notifying them that they could be out of a job by the end of August.

Such a letter (WARN is an acronym for “Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act”) is a federal requirement if layoffs are possible — and American has already said that employee reductions are expected.

For what it’s worth (not much, probably), United pilots can sympathize — last month that carrier announced its plans to “furlough” 950 pilots.
