ASMs unfortunately, are not pertinent. A 747 has ~400 seats per mile with 4 pilots. A 737 has around 160, which is less than half, with 2 pilots. Thus, per your example, the 737 provides more jobs.
Pilot block hours are the correct comparison... ASM has nothing to do with it. The 747 provides more pilot block hours, thus more jobs, but you just argued your way to the contrary.
Actually its Pilot credit hours that drive jobs.
