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

FDX Express 2011 Revenue: 24.58B/4579 Pilots = $5,350,513 per Pilot.
THAT is why it is hard to compare that....

FedEx Express 2011 = $1.22 Billion (looks a lot like DAL) on a 5.2% operating margin. (DAL pulled out a margin in the 6-8% range).
So many metrics.... Lies, d@mn lies, and statistics.
