This brings up an interesting comparison. Marketwatch has an interesting statistic: revenue per employee. DAL makes almost $500k/employee. AAL is about $345k/employee. UAL is about $448 or so... and everybody else is down in the low $300Ks. Then if you look ar market caps/passengers emplaned... all those things.. it always makes me wonder how the 'largest airline' moniker is attached. From what I can tell it is purely on total revenue. But to get back to the discussion, I wonder if DAL were to get down to that same ratio what our numbers would look like. Seems to me we are already light years more efficient than anybody else, so why downsize?
