On what data do you base this statement on? Delta enjoys significant cost advantages with our non pilot employees over our competitors. Hourly wages tend to match other airlines but work rules and retirement lag by big margins. This does not even factor in the fact that Delta is able to outsource many of those jobs to DSS and others where the pay is also lower.
