Iberia, Spain's ailing national airline, said yesterday that it planned to cut one-fifth of its work force and sell assets in an effort to avert bankruptcy. The assets to be evaluated for sale include its Latin American holdings, some domestic routes and its lucrative handling operations. Iberia's management is dropping its original plan to seek authorization from the European Union for a $1 billion bailout. Iberia will ask four investment banks to begin evaluating its holdings in preparation for their sale, said officials at Teneo, the Government holding company that controls 99 percent of Iberia. Salomon Brothers, Goldman, Sachs, Bankers Trust and Morgan Stanley are the four banks being consulted.. The carrier had reached a cost-cutting agreement with most of its workers, but the pilots, who earn an average of $140,000 a year, refused their support.
