Airline employment dropping to lowest levels since the mid-80s
Leslie Josephs

The U.S. airline industry will have shed some 90,000 jobs by the end
of the year, bringing the sector’s employment levels down to the lowest
since the mid-1980s, according to trade group Airlines for America.
Employment peaked in June 2001.

The coronavirus pandemic is the industry’s biggest-ever crisis and
despite recent upticks, demand is hovering at around a third of last
year’s levels.

Airlines expect to carry more travelers around Thanksgiving but remote
work or school, quarantine and testing requirements are reshaping
travelers’ habits. They’re staying longer or even buying one-way tickets,
meaning the spikes in demand — and fares — won’t likely materialize.
U.S. airline capacity around Thanksgiving will be down 39% from a year
earlier, compared with a 47% decline in the first 17 days of November.
