Despite the massive layoffs at various top airline companies, AviationCrossing (www.aviationcrossing.com) added more than 1,800 jobs to its website in the first two weeks of July. AviationCrossing uses a highly trained research staff and advanced technology to track down every aviation position from every employer. The site continuously monitors the websites of all airline companies, other aviation employers, and job boards to provide job seekers with quality jobs that match their interests.
Various top airlines have announced massive job cuts due to skyrocketing fuel prices, the latest being Midwest Airlines, which announced a 40% staff cut. Other airlines, such as American Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Air Canada, and United Airlines, have also announced major job cuts in recent weeks.
“In the past year fuel prices saw a staggering 80% rise. The troubled aviation industry has already seen about 20,000 job cuts to offset the fuel costs,†says A. Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of AviationCrossing. “In its aim to support the slumping aviation job market, AviationCrossing has doubled its efforts to find every aviation job opening from all possible sources.â€
AviationCrossing weeds out spam and inactive jobs, allowing job seekers to search efficiently and specifically. The website does not charge employers to post jobs, which gives job seekers access to a broader range of available positions, including those not listed on other job boards.
