They always know what pilot costs are going to be within a certain parameter. We have a contract. That's what contracts do... spell out costs. They biggest way they reduce overall costs is by reducing debt. The second is by fleet rationalization. That one is a dynamic process. In this cycle of airline growth, it is all about frequency... again, hence smaller fleets with longer legs...
And for those of you that back the bigger pays more scheme, how do you put a dollar figure on efficiency?
