Abstract

The unforgettable events of September 11, 2001, delivered a crushing blow to the U.S. Airline industry, which was already in a financially precarious position. Long after the temporary shutdown was over and operations had resumed, many people were reluctant to travel. The resulting loss of revenue, coupled with increased costs associated with new security measures, caused several major carriers to take drastic actions, including significant layoffs. This Case in Point examines how Southwestern Pennsylvania responded to five-year series of massive job losses at one of the region’s largest employers, US Airways.
