I find no news stories from the usual sources on this report, issued by the federal recordkeepers. " U.S. scheduled passenger airlines employed 4 percent fewer pilots and 32 percent fewer maintenance workers in 2007 than in 2000, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today " on the agency's Web site: www.bts.gov . The news release is straightforward, with no spin. Just the facts.
