Now that Labor Day has come and gone, airlines, including Tempe-based US Airways, are looking to make some changes.

Jobs and schedules are on the chopping block.

''Particularly in October, our passengers will notice about a 10 percent reduction in our schedule in Phoenix," said US Airways' Morgan Durrant. ''We do have some job cuts coming around the same time frame."

Those job cuts include ''roughly 300 pilots," about 175 of those based in Phoenix.

Durrant added, ''I'm happy to report that we are not going to see any flight attendant job cuts. We are managing head counts there through attrition and voluntary leaves of absence."

US Airways also is slashing schedules, with about a 10 percent cut in flights out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, including flights to Las Vegas, St. Louis and Oklahoma City.

''We hope this, in combination with some other things we're doing -- first- and second-checked bag fees and doing what we can to reduce capacity, we hope to save $400- to $500-million on an annual basis," Durrant said.

The ultimate goal, he said, is to eventually be able to better price flights. The changes should be in place in the next few weeks.
