DAL 2011 revenue: 35.12B/12056 Pilots = $2,913,072 per Pilot.

LUV 2011 revenue: 15.5B/6104 Pilots = $2,565,530 per Pilot.

Revenue numbers from Yahoo Finance.
Pilot numbers from APC Airline profiles.


Delta Pilots produce more revenue per Pilot than Southwest Pilots. You can argue numbers many different ways - I think this is might be a good starting point.

What is even a more telling number is the number of active line pilots not total pilots. We have a ton of management, MLOA, Furlough Bypass etc in that number. Our active line pilot number is somewhere near 10,500, fwiw.

Great point Scoop but we could make the numbers more accurate and it our favor.

If you take the Form 41 data and adjust it for augmented operations we are generally more efficient that LUV.
