SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO is in talks to hire mechanics from defunct Spirit Airlines to support its fleet expansion in the United States. The carrier plans to hire 1,072 pilots this year, 200 more than previously expected, as it prepares for the BOEING CO/THE 737 MAX 7. Securing technical talent is critical for Southwest to launch red-eye flights and integrate fuel-efficient jets amid rising energy costs.
