Quoting Flyibaby (Thread starter): I am kind of confused...is the article saying that with these 4,000 cuts - that since 2001 DL has let go of 33,000 people?
More like offered early retirements or outs with incentives, which many took in 2001.

The headline is somewhat misleading, also.
"Delta's planned job cuts double to 4,000"
The planned job cuts were only 2,000. Because 4,000 people took them, DL accepted them.
Of course, that wouldn't make a very exciting headline, now, would it?
