This builds on it, slightly better, but notice they didn’t put a baseline when they said “1.81 means that mainline must grow 50 aircraft.” We have 124 more jets to be delivered plus 60 added in this PWA. How does a 184 aircraft only become a 50 jet growth? By parking 134 jets.
What’s that? The 88 fleet (116 jets) and then some.
We are forever going to be buying and retiring aircraft, what they’re doing is using that natural business process to add larger regional jets to Delta Connection and continue making outsourcing profitable.
I guess it's the "natural business cycle" that has mainline domestic block hours up 30% since 2012 and DCI down a bunch...or was it the contract?
UAL and AMR didn't seem to have that natural business cycle...
You were wrong in your analysis of 2012. The results prove it.
