Then show a corresponding line that has the number of pilots on property those same years. Then we could all see if the ratio of pilots to planes has gone up, down or stayed the same since the contract was signed.
Just a thought for anyone who has more technical skills than I.
Pilots to planes is not the metric you want. You have to compare block hours. A fleet of 600 aircraft flying 7 hours a day requires a very different number of pilots from the same fleet flying 10 hours a day.
