They're Flying Less... But Hiring More?
It is, as they say, a puzzlement: US airlines are flying less --
cutting capacity to compensate for higher fuel prices, and a
slumping economy -- but most are employing more workers than ever.
US scheduled passenger airlines employed 1.6 percent more workers
in March 2008 than in March 2007, the US Department of
Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported
Tuesday.
