Officials at aviation job distribution network JSfirm say the first two quarters of this year should be a good time to find a job in the aviation industry. According to a report at Aviation International News, a hiring trends survey released by the Fort Worth, Texas-based company indicates that companies across the aviation spectrum hired more people than they cut last year and expect to hire additional personnel this year. The report quotes JSfirm manager Jeff Richards as saying 85% of companies surveyed expect to hire this year.
