If anyone can provide evidence to back up their SWA block per pilot per year math I'd love to see it.
How about using 2011 numbers?

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

ALPA is keeping this information from its pilots, but third party management consultants for regional airlines already have their copy.

Sailing, that would be a fair comparison, if true, and lends credence to the inefficiency due to training churn arguement.

Which will continue for a few years...

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.

T,
I know you are onto something with the SWA arc. It seems odd to me that their CFO is now the CEO, that rarely ends well. However, I dont see them dieing, just stagnating and rotting on the vine.

Your forward looking thoughts?...

Take that Shiz. My FTB speaks for me.
