Northwest Airlines Slashing 1,600 Jobs
Northwest Airlines Corp. NWAC.O said on Wednesday it was notifying flight attendants of new voluntary leave programs designed to help cut up to 1,600 jobs as the carrier tries to match staffing with weak demand for air travel.

The Egan, Minnesota-based carrier last month laid off 670 temporary workers after the U.S. Labor Day weekend and said it was looking to cut another 350 full-time positions. Northwest, the No. 4 U.S. airline, has about 43,000 employees.
