Southwest Airlines reported a rise in net income for the second quarter as operating
revenue reached a record $3.17 billion. Excluding one-time items, net income was
$216 million, or 29 cents a share, exceeding Wall Street expectations. The company
said traffic and revenue trends are positive, and Southwest anticipates strong gains
in the third quarter.
We're seeing a lot of airlines and other large aviation companies reporting profits
and string gains. This is always good news, but more importantly, it lends to an
increase in hiring. Be on the lookout for more job availability at southwest in
the next few months.
