Delta cuts its workforce by 2,000

Delta airlines has been forced to cut its employee headcount by 2000 due to high fuel prices. Jet fuel is a type of keroscene which powers the large aircraft used by the huge carrier.

The price of jetfuel A has been going up and up as the dollar drops and we face peak oil. Delta sees the future as gloomy and we now see why. The cost of fuel will continue to increase in the coming years.

One solution is to go back to propeller planes. These are more noisy and slower, but also more fuel efficient.
