Delta to cut 9000 jobs

Delta Air Lines Inc. said on Thursday that it plans to eliminate up to 9,000 jobs, or 17 percent of its work force, as part of a plan to save $3 billion as it seeks to revive itself in bankruptcy.

Delta, the No. 3 U.S. airline, sought bankruptcy protection last week after an unsuccessful struggle with surging fuel prices and a crushing debt load of more than $20 billion. Delta said it expects to cut 7,000 to 9,000 jobs from its work force of 52,000 employees by the end of 2007.
