I think the approx 120 being laid off are from Delta Cargo. DGS will be taking over the cargo operations. I'm guessing the nearly 200 being downgraded from FT to PT will be above wing (GA/TA) and below wing (Ramp). It was common knowledge that there were too many FT bodies. They said that the overstaffing began in 2010. What happened in 2010. Delta got rid of alot of flights and most of the agents from Regional Elite (old Comair). Delta consolidated operations in Concourse B. With the dwindling number of flights, they eventually ended up with too many FT'ers. They tried to get some takers with rounds of retirement package offerings...but, didn't get too many (i.e. enough). This is the next step.
