Lockheed Corp. Unit to Cut 4,600 Jobs: Lockheed Ft. Worth Co., which builds F-16 fighter jets, will cut the jobs in its operations department by the end of 1994, a spokesman said. Managers in the Ft. Worth firm’s largest department completed a manpower study and told employees that the current 10,000 jobs will be reduced to 5,400, spokesman Joe Stout said. The company had announced a year ago that there would be big job reductions companywide because of expectations that production of F-16 fighter jets would drop sharply in 1994, Stout said. The Ft. Worth company employs a total of 19,000 people, and departments other than operations are conducting their own manpower studies, Stout said.
