Shot in the dark here... aren't our planes being much more efficiently used than a few years ago... i.e. sitting around less w/ quicker turn times and less idle time? Some of that is definitely going to require more crew members and it's still a positive if that's the case since we're not having the capital costs of new planes in order to do more flying.
Second question - but it would probably have to be broken out by ASMs or WB/NB but how does that compare to peers?
