Most if not all of the $1.5 trillion in annual U.S. economic activity directly or indirectly attributable to the airline industry would disappear. Airlines For America, the airline industry’s lobby group claims that U.S. airlines are directly or indirectly responsible for more than 10 million jobs. The passenger and cargo airlines themselves currently employ more than 700,000 with most of those considered to be high-paying jobs. In 2016, the average wage for an airline employee was about $86,000 compared to the overall national private-sector average of about $59,000.
