CHICAGO: Delta Air Lines may be able to avoid involuntary furloughs in the fall after receiving interest from more than 15,000 employees for early buyout packages, one person with knowledge of the matter said, even as other US airlines are sounding the alarm on jobs.
Atlanta-based Delta is among large US airlines that have been trying to encourage workers to leave voluntarily before a government ban on forced job cuts expires on Sept 30, when they warn they must shrink given depressed demand in the coronavirus pandemic.
