The airlines also worry about medical costs. A lot of their employees are in close proximity to customers and each other. Airline exposure to increase medical costs per employee are probably higher than a lot of other companies. I recently moved to a condo at Honolulu Harbor and am amazed how 100s of workers (at the loading/unloading container facility across the harbor) are naturally separated. Dozens of truck drivers, crane operators, traffic control, etc. Not so at the airlines.
Beyond the harbor, I can see two UA tails at the Diamond Head concourse this morning. Kinda cool...
