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.

2017 operating revenue per pilot.
DL-1357xxx
SWA-1337xxx
Total revenue however is more in our favor. Delta had 41B in total revenue with 14,600 pilots. SWA had 21B with 9600 pilots.
