Dallas, TX – As part of the ongoing capacity and personnel reductions, the world's biggest carrier has already said it expects to eliminate between 6 and 7 thousand jobs.

In a letter to the Texas workforce commission, it listed the number and types of airport jobs that could be cut, from management and support staff, to mechanics, agents and fleet service workers.

DFW could lose a hundred-58 jobs in September. Other airports included Austin, El Paso, San Antonio and Houston Intercontinental.
