Also do not confuse down sizing with no hiring. These two things are independent. I do believe AA / USAir will down size slightly, however, they will also have to hire just like everyone else due to their large retirement numbers over the next 18 years.
Please see the CAL/UAL merger and the fact that UAL is now
HIRING.....
