U.S. scheduled passenger airlines employed 2.1 percent fewer workers in August 2008 than in August 2007, the second consecutive decrease in full-time equivalent employee (FTE) levels for the scheduled passenger carriers from the same month of the previous year and the largest year-to-year decrease since October 2006, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today. FTE calculations count two part-time employees as one full-time employee.
All the network airlines except for Alaska Airlines decreased employment from August 2007 to August 2008 as did low-cost carriers AirTran Airways and Frontier Airlines. Regional carriers SkyWest Airlines, ExpressJet Airlines, Comair, Horizon Air, Mesa Airlines, Executive Airlines, and PSA Airlines also reported reduced employment levels compared to last year. US Airways' 2007-2008 increase is based on a comparison to the August 2007 report prior to joint reporting with America West.
