Another air carrier has taken steps to weather the economic downturn and rising energy costs. Alaska Airlines has announced flight and staff reductions:

“…Many U.S. airlines are cutting both jobs and flights as they struggle with high fuel prices and a troubled economy. Alaska said Friday that it plans to cut 850 to 1,000 jobs, starting in November. The carrier also will cut seat capacity by 8 percent.”

At the end of August, Southwest Airlines announced flight reductions but that carrier is managing, at the moment, to keep its staff intact. Alaska Airlines employees were not as fortunate.
