It gets hard going from Excel to browser back to excel back to browser and none of the fleets are written in an easy format to read on wikipedia. AirFleets was too slow.



One thing I get from seeing the numbers is we're not as small as I thought on the WB side. Yes UAL is huge, but, I guess if the goal is to maximize margins in good times and bad then having a majority of your lift be with jets under 300 passengers kind of makes sense.

Especially since you have two major domestic competitors to go up against, multiple hubs spread out over 3.1 million square miles of land in the CONUS. And you're competing internationally against "national/home" airlines with all of their soft or hard government support and in the case of UAE it's only 32,000 sq miles.
