That chart can be interpreted many ways. The one glaring thing to me is we have the most WB aircraft and do more international flying so naturally our stage length is the longest. IMO that doesn't make us inefficient just a different animal. And it also means for the pilots that there are more pilots in the top paying seats as well.
