US airlines ramp up hiring

US airlines are ramping up hiring across the industry. For example, the CEOs of Southwest Airlines and Air Canada offered reassurance that they are ready for the summer travel season. They noted that the airlines have ramped up hiring, with Southwest adding 14,000 employees since last summer, and Air Canada also pointed to new online tools designed to streamline travel and flexibility policies that will allow passengers to stand by for earlier flights or opt for longer connection times in Toronto.
