If I were you all I would force crew scheduling to be more efficient, but also offer up some increased productivity for a better contract. I know the hard corp legacy union chest beaters will say that increased productivity costs jobs, but wouldn't you agree that you could use increased productivity as a carrot for a better contract, and increased organic growth with your new charge for better scope.
You need to look at the top of the page of the first chart where it says "no adjustments made."
In addition to what gloopy said, all of our 3 and 4 man crewed flights really skew the numbers and make the comparison between like companies difficult and dislike companies (I.e. domestic only) impossible.
