American Airlines is expected to slash about 2,100 jobs at its maintenance facility in Tulsa under a bankruptcy reorganization plan released by its parent company, a spokesman for the airline said Wednesday.
AMR Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November, and released a proposal Wednesday saying it planned to eliminate about 13,000 jobs, or 15 percent of its workforce. The cuts will mostly affect maintenance workers and baggage handlers, but also will include flight attendants, management employees and pilots. AMR also is proposing an end to its traditional pension plans.
