I firmly believe 50% of the pilots don't understand so when it comes to comparisons some only look at the big number 7B vs 8B...therefore AA must be better. Not necessarily true if it is incremental gains. If one contract (UAL for example) is woefully inferior on QOL they might have to make 9B "contract" just to get to where Delta/AA are overall
