Vacation is one area that we are truly lagging the industry.
As far as productivity goes if we are retiring a lot of Pilots we should hire accordingly.
There are many ways to measure productivity with the most common being block hours flown. Block hours however do not relate to profits but revenue does. Last time I checked, on a per Pilot basis, DAL Pilots produce more revenue per year than Southwest Pilots. Our productivity is fine.
