Comair, a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, has announced plans to reduce its fleet by 17 aircraft and eliminate 200 pilot jobs.
The news came as the carrier's pilots entered the fourth week of their strike.
Comair said in a statement that the fleet reduction was a necessary step 'to preserve capital, reduce costs and put Comair in a better position to maintain its competitiveness when operations resume.'
The striking pilots are demanding higher pay, company-paid retirement, more rest between shifts and pay for non-flying hours when they are on duty according to The Associated Press.
