I care more about how Sailing defines "efficiency" as a Pilot group.
Why does block hours flown trump revenue produced?

Just as a 777 gives us a revenue advantage per Pilot the multiple fleets gives us a block hour disadvantage per Pilot.

If DALPA has to explain our inefficiency block hour wise before the NMB why doesn't the company have to address the revenue advantage that we produce?

We as a Pilot group must not accept this inefficiency argument as valid and counter it whenever it comes up.

Sailing is correct in that it will be one of managements main arguments for C-15. I have heard concerns about both block hours flown, and sick leave used at different times from DAL leadership personnel. This leads me to believe there is some kind of top down push regarding these issues.

There are many ways to define efficiency as a Pilot group - block hours flown is only one and in my opinion not as important as revenue produced per Pilot.
