NEW YORK (AP) - Comair Inc., a unit of Delta Air Lines Inc., on Monday asked a New York bankruptcy court to let it toss out contracts with its 970 flight attendants as part of an effort to cut $42 million in annual costs the regional carrier says it needs to climb out of bankruptcy.
Without the cuts, Comair warned it would have to cease operations.
Comair, based in Erlanger, Ky, near Cincinnati, filed for bankruptcy protection on Sept. 14, the same day that Delta filed for protection from its creditors under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws. Comair is asking its flight attendants for $8.9 million in wage and benefits cost cuts.
