But if we went up to SWAs 5.6, we could soon add almost 370 pilots alone just for the 88.
Johnson conveniently ignores the higher pilot requirements of Delta's international flying. Why does it seem like the data is always so skewed with some of these guys? Thanks for pointing out an actual apples to apples metric unlike Johnson.
