The U.S. Department of Transportation has reported that the number of jobs in the airline industry continues to shrink, as American Airlines and various regional carriers continues to reduce their staff. American Airlines alone cut 5,400 jobs, or 8.4 percent of its workforce as they attempted to cut costs during their bankruptcy. However, Hawaiian Airlines is proud to report that the opposite is true for their company, and noted that their workforce grew by 11.5 percent in 2012 and is already up an additional 6 percent during the first eight months of 2013. Hawaiian Airlines now employs 5,220 people and hopes to add additional positions shortly as additional flights and services are being planned for several new counties and cities in Asia.
