There are several obvious reasons why UPS and FX pilots make more than Delta, and Delta pilots make more than LCCs. The most simple reason is Delta has massively more revenue than Spirit, and can afford to offset lower operating margins with that large revenue. If Spirit had the same margins as Delta, the stock price would be even worse than it already is.
But the profit margin, squawkers will never get it.Originally Posted by 9easy
