Not sure about the DCI question. That would be interesting indeed.

As for the extrapolation, DL pilots, with our supposed lack of productivity (which is mostly a management choice with fleet and mission types that drive revenue in the first place) DL pilots still produce more revenue per pilot than SWA pilots.

And like you said, if any DCI pilots/planes are rolled into that because they are wholly owned or leased by DL or whatever, we pull away by even more than the 2 Billion a year differential.
