American Airlines to close bases, needs to reduce flight attendant staff - Business Insider

American Airlines plans to reconfigure and significantly downsize staffing at some of its bases, and plans to reduce its flight attendant ranks by as many as 8,000 employees, Business Insider has learned.

As flight attendants anxiously await news of furloughs, which the airline is expected to announce this month with affected employees still being paid through September 30, Surdek said that details had yet to be determined.However, Surdek wrote that the airline expects to be overstaffed by somewhere between 7,000 and 8,000 flight attendants, based on anticipated flying and demand in 2021. American has about 26,000 flight attendants across its system.

Additionally, the airline plans to close several of its major flight attendant bases, and resize others. Surdek wrote that the airline expects to see "flat to moderate growth in Washington, DC, San Francisco, and Boston. "Modest" decreases are expected at several of the airline's biggest hubs, including Dallas-Fort Worth, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Chicago, and New York LaGuardia. "Notable" downsizing is expected in Phoenix, Miami, and Los Angeles. The airline also expects to shrink bases in Latin America.

The major US airlines received support with their payroll via the CARES Act, which restricted them from laying off, furloughing, or cutting pay of employees until after September 30. However, US airlines are expected to begin notifying furloughed employees this month, while continuing to pay them until October.

But they took all the bailout $$$. So much for maintaining employees.

Whoever 10th best country in the world is…be scared, we are coming for that cozy ranking..

It’s going to be a long dark winter ahead. Evictions, unemployment, foreclosures, starvation. And so many Covid deaths. People dying alone.
