United doing ok?

United is going to hire 2000 flight attendants.

After all the news about the airline industry struggling to cut costs, is this a sign that things are turning around?

Edit: After doing some quick math, 2000 flight attendants multiplied by salaries of about 25000 is about 50 million in extra costs. Although nothing compared with the 1.7 billion dollar loss last quarter, United actually achieved a $165 million operating profit last quarter. The operating profit, their first in a while (I think the last time was back in 2000), coupled with the large hiring spree, could indeed be a leading indicator of better times.
