Job transfers could lead to unemployment for many American Airline workers in Fort Worth, Texas… as the nation’s largest airline carrier plans to move its maintenance work on Boeing 7-7-7 aircrafts to Tulsa, Oklahoma. As bad as job cuts may sound… a transfer to Oklahoma only informs residents to polish up their resumes. A letter was sent out by the company’s vice president of maintenance who announced the job cuts. In it they said that they would lay off around 1,300 mechanics' jobs… including 200 related work in management, 900 flight attendants and over 200 pilot jobs. Instead of sending out pink slips immediately, the company is offering a generous voluntary package in hopes to avoid lay-offs. less
