By purchasing ASM, which also provides outsourced services -- particularly ramp workers, baggage handlers and security personnel for airlines at Miami International and other airports
ASM is a major contractor for American Airlines and also does work for other airlines at MIA. Although August passenger traffic at MIA was down 2 percent and cargo traffic was down 20 percent, a terminal expansion is under way and American has announced plans to increase flights to Miami.
The 500 new jobs will be created over the next eight months and will be evenly split between the airport and other locations, said Joseph C. Lorenzo, the new president of Eulen America.
Lorenzo, formerly of AMR, left after 11 years to begin his own company that specialized in providing outsourced labor to American Airlines, and others.
Minimum pay at MIA for AMR is approximately $35.00 - 37.00 total cost per hour at max pay for counter and gate agents, among others. Of that amount the average agent sees 17.00 - 19.00 per hour. The rest is benefits and expenses to the airline.
