= sum total of +1 wide body. Also note, international flying a/c are manned at about 12 to 1 ratio while the domestic is manned at about 3.5 to 1.
+18 narrow bodies.
Last I checked, our manning/flying was based on operational flying and not maintenance birds.
Look again. You've done the math for total fleet. Operating fleet is in parentheses. Airbus goes from 84 to 75. MD-10 goes from 53 to 33.
Interesting point regarding int'l versus domestic manning. Which of our aircraft don't fly international?
