<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Southwest Airlines Co. plans to hire 4,000 employees this year, boosting its workforce by about 13 percent as the largest low-fare carrier adds 11 new airplanes and increases flights.
The airline will hire 250 pilots, 1,200 flight attendants, 1,000 ground workers and about 1,550 other employees, spokeswoman Linda Rutherford said. Southwest was the only major U.S. carrier that didn't reduce its workforce after the Sept. 11 attacks, as airlines eliminated more than 90,000 jobs.</font>
