*How the ranking works (TPC)
How It Works | AVIATION WEEK
From the same weblink above (top of this post), the following are interesting reads:
"Global Gloom"
Downturn Hurts Outlook for All Airline Sectors | AVIATION WEEK
"Niche Carriers Thrive"
Niche Carriers Thrive | AVIATION WEEK
"Capacity or Consolidation?"
Capacity And Consolidation | AVIATION WEEK
My opinion - If you want to work - go with a 'niche' - they are growing. If you want to go with a 'mainline' - get in line...
Hope you guys/gals find this useful in your quest for the best >quality of life<. Because in the end, it doesn't matter who you work for - only that you have a job for as long as possible to give you the best quality of life. Cheers!

Heyas,
I used to subscribe. Expensive magazine. I got tired of listening to their pro-management rants and "outsource, outsource".
I let my subscription lapse. When they started bugging me to renew by phone, I was asked to comment back as to why I didn't renew.
I simply said "Well, my management listened to your editorials, and outsourced my job...now I can't afford your magazine".

AW&ST and ASA Capt. Brian Wilson
I let my subscription lapse in May 2009, still get a new magazine every week! Go figure... I too grew tired of their constant anti-airline, pro-management, pro-outsourcing slant to virtually every aviation article. Didn't matter if it was NASA, Boeing, ATC, fractional jet companies or a particular air carrier...labor was always the reason for any discussed problem!
What really turned me off was reading the almost monthly letter to editor authored by ASA Capt. Brian Wilson. APC regulars know how much of an idiot he is, and AW&ST published his anti-pilot, anti-labor ilk with increasing regularity.
The final straw that lead to my choosing to not renew my subscription was a letter to the editor I had published in AW&ST. I quoted a fact which was published in AW&ST's annual Sourcebook. Turned out the fact was wrong! I got completely lambasted on subsequent weekly letters to the editor. In my rebuttal letters I pointed out the fact I mentioned was published in AW&ST's sourcebook...the editor never published the letters and let me "hang" for their error. What a coward!
