UAL has a 32% more wide bodies than we do, and about the same number of pilots. How is this on par? What am I missing?
From the United Airlines Fleet Plan:
Fleet Plan
As of January 22, 2015, the Company’s fleet plan was as follows:
YE 2014 YE 2015 FY ∆
B747-400 23 21 (2)
B777-200 74 74 -
B787-8/9 14 25 11
B767-300/400 51 51 -
Total of 162
I don't see 129 777s and according to the Delta webpage, we have 158.
I don't care about how many we have, I care about how many pilots are paid at those higher rates, that is what is important. With that data it does look like there are more high paying jobs at United than there are at Delta, but I don't know how they man their fleets.
