It's no surprise the airline industry continues to experience challenges.
In an effort to reduce their workforce by 2000 employees, Delta Airlines is offering 30,000 managers, flight attendants, ticket agents, mechanics, and other frontline and administrative employees a buyout opportunity.
Of the 2000 employees who will choose these severance packages, Delta anticipates that about 65% of them will be front line employees.
Delta, like other domestic airlines are not expecting growth or profitability this year with oil prices hovering at or over $100 per barrel.
If you are a displaced airline employee, start doing an inventory of the great transferable skills you developed.
Here are some of the in-demand skills you might have developed during your time in the hospitality industry:
-Good customer service for diverse clients
