American Airline Changes
I stand for American Airlines making job cuts to save their airline.
Back in November, American Airlines filed for bankruptcy and are recently creating plans to save more than $1.25 billion a year. They announced that they would cut up to 14,000 jobs out of the 88,000 overall employees of American Airlines. They will be reducing their management by 20%. If this change is not made, American Airlines can go completely bankrupt or would have to figure out a way to make $800 million a year in profit. Other ways to earn back money for American Airlines would be to ground many older planes and buy newer ones in order to save fuel and restructuring debts and leases. In addition to all of the job cuts, the airlines need to be patient waiting for the results of changes in rules at work, such as longer days for crews. American Airlines is the third largest airline in the U.S. and wants to keep its status.
I believe that these job cuts will be best for the Airline. Thomas Horton said, “We will end this journey with many fewer people. But we will also preserve tens of thousands of jobs that would have been lost if we had not embarked on this path.” The point Horton is trying to make is that if they hadn’t decided to make these changes, the entire airline could have been lost. These changes, yes, will be unfortunate for some people, but many jobs will be kept as well. My family usually travels with American Airlines and they have always been a good airline to travel with. I am personally very glad they are making these efforts to keep the airline and I do hope that the people who lose their jobs will become fortunate in other ways.
