[QUOTE="p228, post: 662893, member: 27328"] The Night Hub laid off about 160 part time hourlies on the night shift which is about 20% of the workforce. The peak hires were all let go last week. Rumors of layoffs were circulating for some time since the Hub is losing two flights, Florida and Georgia, on Jan 6. They are being sent to Louisville so their expansion project isn't viewed as a huge waste of money. The layoffs were done strictly on a seniority basis. Those that were getting laid off were told to stick around after the shift and wait for their managers to come around. None of them expected it. Nearly everyone that was hired in 2008 through 2009 were laid off. Rumors are going around about more layoffs involving different shifts and supervisors. As for the Hub actually closing down, that has been said for quite sometime. The city and the FAA want to expand PHL from two primary runways to three. The problem is in order to do this they would have to seize about 80 homes and business, so naturally, there is an ongoing court battle.
