		Swiss International Air Lines has confirmed that it plans to cut about 3,000 jobs - about a third of its workforce - as it strives to survive the turbulence rocking the global aviation business.

		But Swiss newspapers reported on Tuesday morning that while the management payroll would be cut by about half, most of the job losses would be among the airline's ground staff.

	SWISS International Air Lines First and Business Class seat reviews
		The ergonomics are great in the upright and reclined positions, but the slope of the seat in the sleeping position is extreme, placing Swiss in the lowest tier of the "angled lie-flat" category.
		Would fly SWISS again but try to ensure aircraft is an A340 and definitely avoid the A320, why pay for Business when you get Economy.
		I found the new SWISS seat to be comfortable while dinning and working but definitely not during sleep when I feel to the floor twice on my flight from SIN-BKK-ZRH.

		The purchase of Swiss, which was valued at 547.8 million Swiss francs, or $476.4 million, at the close of business on Friday, would complete the transformation of Switzerland's lone major carrier, which as Swissair went bankrupt in 2001 before being reborn as Swiss the following year.
		Swiss shares, which are highly illiquid because of an unusual ownership structure, fluctuate wildly and the Zurich exchange has occasionally suspended trading in them.
		In doing so, Swiss would enter into competition with the other two major alliances that include European carriers - the oneworld association, anchored by British Airways and American Airlines, and the Skyteam alliance, which includes Delta in the United States and Air France-KLM, currently the most notable cross-border European merger in the airline industry.
