I see the fundamental issue being that we don't fly seats. We fly airplanes. That have seats.

But I want to see numbers of flights not seat numbers. It's the 767 vs A380 argument whereas we'd all rather DAL fly 2 767s while AF flies 1 A380 and it's called even because the seats equal.

If we're talking 777s out of LAX then that's over twice the size of a 737-700. Every 777 would be 2 737s. I get that 738s and 739s will equal our 75s and 73s, but 20 767 flights equals 26.8 AS 738 flights to make seats equal. Now I'm not even going to guess what the numbers would be but it'd be nice to see them just to see what kind of balance there is or isn't.

Notice they're growing out of SEA, a non DAL hub?
