WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Spirit AeroSystems is offering a voluntary retirement program to some management and salaried employees in Wichita and Kinston, North Carolina.
Company spokesman Ken Evans said Thursday the employees must be older than 55 and have worked at least 10 years with the company to qualify for the program. The company did not release any further details.
Evans says the company has not set a specific number of employees it wants to retire.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/VUVLrf ) Spirit is cutting costs and making other changes, such as bolstering top management, reducing overtime for hourly workers and putting its Tulsa wing plant up for sale.
