From the LA Times:
After 28 consecutive months of declining employment, the U.S. airline industry is
back in hiring mode again, a sign that airlines are ready to add routes and flights.
The airline industry reported a 0.2 percent increase in employment in December, the
first rise since August 2008, according to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics. "I think the airlines are moving up with the general economy," said
Jan Brueckner, an economics professor at UC Irvine and expert on the airline industry.
