Yet another miss representation of those pesky things called facts. As of today are more than likely exceeding the DAL pilot costs after our raise.
Just a few of those areas that we exceed DAL in are retirement, vacation, per diem and training pay. Also just pure speculation but my assumption is our hotel, crew meal and insurance costs exceed DAL also.
