AirTran Layoffs

With the layoff announcements from American Airlines last week you knew more was bound to happen soon with the other airlines. This week discount airlines AirTran is announcing that they are laying off 180 pilots and 300 flight attendants by September 6th and that it is continuing to look for other ways to bring it’s payroll and may result in more layoffs or a decrease in wages for its employees. Airtran is saying that the reason for these layoffs are due to the fact that oil is over $140 per barrel. I feel that if the government can stop the future trading of oil then maybe we can finally see oil prices go down and hopefully result in most of these people getting their jobs back.
