How many times does that have to be refuted before you give up on it?:confused:

How many times are others going to spout off without providing ANY reference or evidence?

If anyone can provide evidence to back up their SWA block per pilot per year math I'd love to see it.

Bar,
Unless I'm reading this wrong, isn't Boyd saying that E190 and maybe CR9 will be flown at MAINLINE under this TA?

You can also simply look at how many pilots SWA has and how many Delta uses on domestic narrow bodies. I saw the numbers a few years ago. If I recall Delta was using about 13 pilots per airframe. SW around 11.

I think the only large productivity advantage SWA has anymore is the near-total lack of training churn.

Perhaps I selected the wrong place to cut and paste. Here is a link to the entire article:

Aviation Data And Insights From Boyd Group International

Still, I'm angry that ALPA is keeping this information from its pilots, but third party management consultants for regional airlines already have their copy.

You guys can double check my math, but according to airlinepilotcentral SWA currently has 6,104 pilots. I do not believe that counts AirTran. If it does, my bad, but based on 568 SWA birds and 6,104 piltos they have an average of 10.75 pilots per plane. Close to the 11 you mention Sailing.

However, looking at the 22 D2 for Nov 2012, we will have 1,625 pilots on the MD88/90. If you go on the 152 fleet number then we average 10.69 pilots per airplane but if you add in the 13 incoming MD90s then the number is 9.85 pilots per plane.

IF those numbers are right, then we are staffing the MD88 with fewer pilots than SWA staffs the 737.
