Is this the 5.7% increase in pilot block hours we're hearing? I think people keep thinking this is "whatever % decrease in flying Delta announced last month".
I think Dickson or someone said system capacity change does not pilot block hours change. (my example: parking 2 50 seat RJ but adding an additional DC-9 flight may be no change in Delta system capacity but results in increased flying for Delta pilots).
