Oh yeah?!! Well, our CEO makes more than yours, so there!!! Oh, wait....

As a reminder to all, go to "User CP", "Settings & Options", "Edit Ignore List" to add folks who post useless drivel...I just exercised it myself.

Airline Financials has data from CY2011Q1:

Airline Financial Data

It showed RASM for Delta & Alaska to be about the same, 12-13 cents revenue per available seat mile. Don't know about 3Q though.

4-5% for the winter. They want to avoid the traditional 4th Quarter loss. The summer 2012 block hour plan may be 1-2% smaller depending on the economy, but can change. SWA is doing something similar for next year due to the economy.

Alaska pilots wages are not better then Delta. Look at the 1st 4 years of FO pay on the 737 and see who's is higher. It's Delta. Alaska CA's make $177 to Delta's $174 on year 12. FO's are dead even at $119.

Please do some research before you post.
