I don't buy this. Someone mentioned ratios? Ok, let's talk ratios. November 20th, month to day flights for EV is 15,935 with 151 airplanes ( I think there are only 2 ATRs left). That is 106 flights per airplane and 797 flights per day. Our Completion is 99.3, A-14 is 76.8, and D-0 is 69.7.
November 20th month to day flights for the DAL side of 9E is 1540 with 12 airplanes (according to DeltaNet, if there are more or less please correct me). That is 128 flights per airplane and 77 flights per day. 9E Completion is 98.3, A-14 is 74.8, and D-0 is 64.7.
This data does not take into account Wx or Maint delays. There are the numbers, you guys decide...
