American Airlines’ regional affiliate American Eagle will be laying off 75 pilots, said Andrea Huguely, a spokeswoman for AMR Corp., the parent company of American.
In addition to the 75 pilots, American Eagle said that 45 more management positions will be cut in 2009.
Fort Worth-based American (NYSE: AMR) says those 45 jobs are in addition to 30 management positions that already were scheduled to be eliminated in 2009.
The pilot job cuts are slated for two rounds: one to begin on May 1 and the other on June 1, American confirmed.
