Spirit Airlines to furlough 270 pilots

Описание:

Spirit Airlines will furlough 270 pilots and downgrade 140 captains to first officers this fall as it prepares for a reduced off‑season schedule. The moves, effective in October and November, aim to align staffing with flight demand and cut costs as the airline works to return to profitability following its March emergence from bankruptcy. Weakened travel demand and ongoing financial struggles continue to impact the carrier’s operations and pilot workforce, CNBC has reported.
