- The other night on the news it was reported that Northwest has now
- terminated 2100 positions in 1992. Many of these positions were
- high paying, including upper mid-management and pilots.
-
- Does anyone know how many new jobs they have promised with the Airbus maintenance
- bases in the Duluth area? I'm trying to see if there will be any net gain
- in jobs for the state, or are we already in the red?
-
- Obviously they needed to make these cuts to compete with the big guys,
- but why was this never mentioned to MN residents when the
- legislature was debating the MAC bonds last year? Is the competitive
- environment changing so fast that they didn't know they would
- be cutting back or did the state do a bad job in assessing NWA's
- position in the market?
