US Airways announced today that it would sell ten of its fleet of 25 Embraer 190 jets to another airline as part of its effort to reduce capacity to save money. The other carrier wasn't identified. President Scott Kirby told employees in a message that the sale would mean some of them would lose their jobs, but he didn't say when or who would be laid off. The twin-engine planes, with just two seats on each side of the center aisle, are among the more popular smaller jets around these days.
