Delta’s latest quarter RASM was about 22 cents. F9’s was about 9 cents. That means each seat F9 moves makes only about 41% as much of a Delta seat. Less than half.

Everyone wants the best possible contract for F9 pilots. Best. Possible. Because the most lucrative flying career, in the long run, is a stable one.

Good luck.
