American hits workers at Miami Airport with news of 1,400 planned job cuts
Skift Take
Workers knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it any easier to swallow that 15 percent of American's workforce in Miami and Fort Lauderdale will lose jobs. The heaviest cuts set for service clerks and crew chiefs.
Nearly 10 months after one of Miami's largest private employers filed for bankruptcy protection, South Florida finally knows what to expect from a restructured American Airlines.
The picture for the airline's 9,000 employees in the region is glum: more than 1,400 jobs lost, the vast majority of them at Miami International Airport. Most of the jobs will be cut shortly before Christmas.
