In addition, another 400 workers will be notified in the next two months that they also will lose their jobs, Air Canada spokeswoman Laura Cooke said. The job cuts are part of a 20 percent staffing reduction announced on March 20, shortly before the airline filed for bankruptcy protection from its creditors. Since then, Air Canada has suffered further financial setbacks due to the SARS outbreak in Toronto. Air Canada also has asked union leaders to approve 10 percent wage cuts for 60 days while negotiations on a more permanent solution continue. Air Canada is the country's dominant airline. =20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2003 AP
