81 jobs lost with Comair closing

Delta Air Lines Inc. will shutter its Comair subsidiary's maintenance base at Orlando [Florida] International Airport in on Sept. 7, cutting 81 jobs.

The Cincinnati, Ohio-based subsidiary of Delta attributed the future layoffs to “unprecedented financial challenges due to difficult economic times,” according to a June 16 Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice the company filed in Florida.

Aircraft mechanics, engineers, technicians, supervisors and managers lost their jobs, but some employees may be able to exercise ‘bumping rights’ within the Comair system to secure employment, Comair said in its notice.

Comair flies to 70 cities in the U.S. and Canada.
