For the record, Hawaiian Air did move jobs to the Philippines--and India; it saved them lots of money and helped them escape the fate of Aloha (a very poorly managed airline). Normally I'd be outraged by a company outsourcing jobs to other countries, but the agreement with the union was that there would be no lay-offs, so no jobs were actually "lost". All HA employees who worked in reservations and accounting are now guaranteed jobs for life. I know many of them who now work in the airport as agents, others are flight attendants.
Hawaiian Air, unlike most carriers around the world, are actually growing and making money. The sum total of their outsourcing is it allowed them to live to fight another day, and has actually translated to more jobs as they expand into Asia.
Full disclosure: HA is my client.
