30% of 12,500 is 3750 more pilots. Not 500.
These numbers are ball park but you get the idea.
Want a good deal? Ask our negotiators if the have 2 $20s for a $10.
Jerry, you are talking about contract 2012. Block hours are up 12.1% in that time frame. Due the math on the hiring.
Could you also provide a source for the 30% increase in pilot block hours. We shrunk virtually every year since the merger until 2012.
Block hours flown per pilot at Delta in 2007 was 49.9. Block hours flown per pilot in 2014 43.3.
