UAL 2009 ASM 122M CAL 2009 ASM 92M. I guess if you round each one to the nearest 100M then yes, but if you do math, then UAL is 32% larger and viola, no extra pilots.

What's 30M ASMs among friends....
LAX Pilot, ASM stands for Available Seat Miles, NOT block hours. Two very different things

Which one leads to more pilots needed? More block hours or more available seat miles.
