The paper then points out that job security is a regular concern of airline employees at any level. Additionally, the paper relates that the three main issues that an airline industry human resources manager faces is the increase in the amount of outsourced jobs, recruiting personnel who are qualified to handle the increased level of technology involved in this industry and handling employee disgruntlements and possible strikes or other union-based actions.
