Major Airline Looking To Reduce Flight Attendant Workforce By Offering Nearly $20,000 To Quit

SWISS is offering its flight attendants up to CHF 15,000, or nearly $20,000, to leave the airline voluntarily as it tries to reduce a cabin crew workforce that has become too large for the flying it is able to operate. The Lufthansa Group carrier says the imbalance is due to it operating fewer flights than planned this summer, with the disruption linked to both pilot shortages and engine-related aircraft groundings.
