American Airlines looks to poach FedEx, UPS pilots amid ‘hiring spree,’ WSJ says

United Parcel Service (UPS) and FedEx (FDX) have become viable sources for PSA Airlines, a regional carrier owned by American (AAL), to look for pilots, as major domestic carriers have been “on a hiring spree,” leaving regionals like PSA scrambling, reports Alison Sider and Esther Fung for the Wall Street Journal. A FedEx executive for flight operations and training, ” told pilots last week that the air-cargo slowdown would likely continue for the foreseeable future,” and they may want to consider the PSA offer, added the WSJ story.
