Frankly, I'm surprised it's 'only' this level. How goes it elsewhere?

"In mid-October, 22 US carriers employed 368,162 full-time staff, down 9% from 404,869 in the middle of September, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) says on 11 December.
Airlines have not employed so few people in any month since the DOT started reporting the figure in January 1990.
The sector’s mid-October employment figure was down 19% - or about 86,000 jobs – from the 454,070 full-time workers employed by airlines one year earlier."
