American Airlines Postpones Hiring
April 4, 2008
The major airline company American Airlines has decided to stop hiring management and airline support workers at the moment. This hiring freeze is due to the declining economy and the increase in the price of fuel that airlines are faced with.
The company will still employ anyone who was offered a job before April, but will stop hiring any more staff at this time. According to airline spokeman, Andy Backover, “I think it’s no secret that the entire industry, including us, has been struggling to contain costs, mainly the cost of fuel,” he stated.
This hiring freeze is just another clue of how things are at the moment within the airline industry.
