Delta Airlines Offers Buyout to 30,000 Workers

This has sort of been buried on a very busy news day, but this is important. As part of a new strategy to deal with the unchecked increase of fuel prices, Delta Airlines has offered to buyout 30,000 employees, or more than half of the company's current workforce. The goal is to cut some 2,000 jobs from the company. Pilots are not included in the offer as they have a union contract.
