January 2006 Passenger Airline Employment Down 6 Percent From January 2005
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 - U.S. scheduled passenger airlines employed 6 percent fewer workers in January 2006 than in January 2005, the 13th consecutive month that full-time equivalent employee (FTE) levels for the scheduled passenger carriers declined compared to the same month of the previous year, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today.
BTS, a part of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), reported that the January 2005 to January 2006 decline in FTE’s was the sixth consecutive month with a decline in FTE’s of more than 5 percent from the same month of the previous year. In FTE calculations, a part-time employee is counted as one-half a full-time employee.
Scheduled passenger airline FTE’s were lower every month in 2005 in comparison to the same month in 2004. The last month FTE’s were higher than the previous year was in December 2004, the last of seven consecutive months of increases from the previous year. Scheduled passenger airlines include network, low-cost, regional and other airlines. These airlines employed 405,000 FTE’s in January 2006, the lowest total since at least the beginning of 2003. The seven network carriers employed 270,000 FTE’s in January, 66.5 percent of the passenger airline total. Low-cost carriers employed 17 percent and regional carriers employed 14 percent. The network carriers are the only carrier group to reduce FTE’s each January from the previous year since 2002.American Airlines employs the most FTE’s among the network carriers, Southwest Airlines employs the most among low-cost carriers and American Eagle Airlines employs the most among regional carriers. Seven of the top 10 employers in the industry are network carriers.
