Total revenue however is more in our favor. Delta had 41B in total revenue with 14,600 pilots. SWA had 21B with 9600 pilots.
So when measuring operating revenue we are more productive than SWA Pilots. When measuring total revenue we are even more productive.
Bottom line - DAL Pilots produce more revenue which directly affects profits. Why do you even break out operating revenue? The reason I ask is that if we look at block hours we are taking into account the DAL “system” which includes numerous fleets with all the inherent inefficiencies that they bring along.
If you think it is fair to compare straight block hours when the DAL “system”forces inefficiencies then let’s also look at all of the revenue that the system produces.
DAL Pilots are more productive than SWA Pilots when looking at revenue production.
