The folks at AIR, Inc.,
tell ANN that March of 2004 was the best pilot hiring month since
9/11/2001 and that the first three months of 2004 equaled 50% of
2003's hiring total! The Nationals hired an impressive 440 pilots,
followed by the Jet Operators with 269, and the Majors with 103
pilots. The furlough numbers continued to decrease. The Non-jet
Operator sector reported just nine pilots on furlough or less than
1% of its present pilot force! The Jet Operator and National
sectors saw furlough figures increase slightly, from 49 to 54 and
649 to 701 respectively. Yes, 2004 is definitely looking better for
the pilot job market. At the current rate airline pilot hiring for
2004 will exceed 9,000 new jobs.
Washington National Airport (DCA) added 12 beyond-perimeter
slots early April to four airlines: four slots went to Alaska for

Frontier for DCA-DEN, and two for United for direct service between
DCA and DEN. Ten within-perimeter slots were distributed to five
airlines: two to AirTran for DCA-ATL; two to Comair for DCA-LEX;
two to Midwest for DCA-MCI; and two slots for US Airways for
DCA-AVL or ILM. Alaska won the only daily non-stop flight from DCA
to LAX.
