Layoffs continue at Midwest Airlines
Published September 2, 2009 - BizTimes Daily
Midwest Airlines has informed the state it will put 26 more pilots and 33 more flight attendants on furlough in October.
In a layoff notice filed with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, Midwest said the furloughs are expected to begin Oct. 31.
The furloughs stem from Republic Airways Holdings Inc.'s acquisition of Oak Creek-based Midwest on July 31. Republic is replacing Midwest's fleet of Boeing 717s with Embraer 190s.
The new furloughs are in addition to the company's previous announcement it is laying off 40 pilots and 55 flight attendants.
