Hawaiian Airlines to shift IT & accounting jobs to India

Honolulu, Hawaii : In order to cut costs, Hawaiian Airlines is moving much of its reservation call center abroad -- eliminating as many as 250 Hawaiian jobs.
Beginning April 15, the Hawaiian Airlines reservationists will likely be in the Philippines. The airline said that it's nothing uncommon.
Hawaiian Airlines is also shifting its information technology and accounting jobs to India to reduce costs.
"The bottom line is that we have to remain competitive," said Wagner.
In a plan that the airline called "groundbreaking," the union that represents the airline workers said it agreed to the outsourcing on the basis that Hawaiian Airlines guarantees its employees a job within the company and at the same pay.
