Unit costs are misleading. We are in the midst of a higher depreciation schedule under MACRS than Delta is because of where we are in the aircraft delivery schedule. DALs costs are going to rise as their deliveries come in because of the accelerated depreciation on those aircraft.
Its not as simple as looking at hourly pay rates between employee groups, etc.
