Less than two hours ago news organization NRC released an article about
the restructuring plan of Air France in 2016. Alexandre de Juniac,
CEO of Air France/KLM, stated in an interview earlier today that there will be less than 1.000
cuts. These will be made through voluntary redundancies. This is one-third of
the 2.900 that was announced about two weeks ago.

Alexandre de Juniac says that redundancies in
2017 can be prevented if Air France and the labor unions will come to
an agreement about alternative savings. However, in 2016 hundreds of
employees will lose their jobs. Did Air France diminish the impact of
the crisis sufficient enough? Or will this news also cause
commotion (like two weeks ago)?

Well, knowing how French like to go on strikes, we can expect at least one. I think they did not diminish the impact, but a decreased number of employees that have to go is definitely a good sign in this story. It would be interesting to know whether 2,900 that were announced two weeks ago was actually a valid claim, or is it just a game of PR since they're going to let less than a 1,000 now.
