9,500 New Jobs Created So Far This Year
With December's hiring numbers still to be counted, it appears
the airline pilot sector will have created approximately 9,500 new
airline pilot jobs in 2004 - up 5,200 from what the airlines
forecast in early January of this year (4,300 new jobs). This month
the National sector led the pack once again by hiring 298 pilots,
Non-jets took over the second position hiring 208 and Jet-operators
finished third with 109. The total furlough numbers jumped slightly
to 9,279 from 9,231 in November.
