The difference in seniority equates to at least $120 an operating hour I do not believe $24 million a year is a rounding error. I don’t think most people do.




Straw man argument. No man said that Delta couldn’t undercut Moxy if they were willing to do so since they have much deeper pockets. No one said they couldn’t negotiate a better price with a 85 aircraft order than Moxy could with a 60 aircraft order. I was strictly comparing the personnel costs of 60 aircraft operated at Delta seniority levels to that off startup seniority. That difference is roughly $24 million annually.



I repeat: YOU WERE THE ONE who attempted to the $24 million annual personnel savings on a 60 aircraft fleet to a “rounding error” for Delta, not I.
