Do you pull your data from the MIT website? I was starting to compare a few air lines but when I saw that American is listed with 32,647 pilots for 2018 I began to question the accuracy. Anyone else notice irregularities?
The MIT data comes from the DOT form 41 data that every airline is required to fill out, there will be lots of inaccuracies.
