Will Cut 2,500 Workers To Coincide With Capacity Cuts
You had to see this coming. On Wednesday, Northwest Airlines
announced it will reduce its frontline and management employees by
2,500 as a result of capacity reductions taken to address the
unprecedented run-up in oil prices. In addition, NWA will match
competitors American Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways in
charging fees for the first checked bag and for frequent flier
award tickets, and increase the fees for ticket changes.
