Which kind of leads into the "productivity" argument of FedEx pilots vs DAL pilots and what they carry in their airplanes. What I am having a hard time describing is that they are very much more productive than we are because they can fly an airframe that burns 33% more gas and still be profitable.. THAT is why I hate the productivity argument. Pay because of productivity is stupid. Management buys the vehicle. We don't.
