Delta Air Lines on Thursday announced plans to cut up to 9,000 jobs and shed almost a fifth of its aircraft fleet in a bid to restore profitability in two years time.

The moves follow last week’s bankruptcy filing by the third-largest US airline, which has run up losses of almost $10bn over the past four years as it lost ground to lower-cost competitors.

3. I know, any good paying job with benefits is disappearing

Some of those same 9000 jobs will be shipped to other places with cheaper labor. Mechanics in South America, etc.
