I’ve been working on some tools that allow people to see financials and statistics that airlines have been reporting to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS). These numbers are self reported and I don’t believe are audited closely so they may include some errors. The Airline Data project by MIT is similar. The cool thing is they allow pilots to look into the financial health and operational reliability of some airlines that are not publicly traded such as Virgin America. This resource is still in Beta mode... so it’s in testing. If you see any other metrics that might be useful I can probably produce them through what is currently there, ie Revenue per Employee etc.

Some of the numbers include

Employee Numbers over time including numbers of Pilots and Management.
Balance sheet History
Revenue and Expenses
Direct and Indirect Operating Costs
Salaries
Expense numbers and Statistics for a specific Fleet over time
- Includes Block time, Seat Miles, % Load factor, and CPSM etc.

The following link takes you to a directory that allows pilots to start exploring the financials/statistics of most of the large US based airlines. Just click on the buttons to drill deeper into the data. On some reports it might take as low as three-four levels deep.

PS. Most of the 2013 numbers are totals of the first two quarters so that year is slightly skewed for now. Happy Holidays.

 

Nevermind, found it. Awesome stuff

 

Wow! That is cool. It gives a pretty accurate insight to potential hires and those already here, but junior. Nice work.

Are you FTB?

 

Flyby - I'm glad you found it, I was worried it might be easy to get lost in all of it. For those looking for the financials and statistics once you have selected an airline you have to scroll down the page a little to find it. It should be below the Pilot demand, code-share, and scope profiles.

 

JetBlue pilot hiring forecast link loads SWA forecast. Your link for JB needs tweaking Bra....

 

Awesome job… Thank you!

 

All the Delta stuff is suspect. If these folks don't know it's Delta Air Lines (not Airlines) can you really trust the rest?

 

BYOB, Thanks for that it should be fixed now.

China Clipper, Good point I will see what I can do

I'm hoping to add some more metrics like Revenue per Employee, CPSM per pilot etc.

 

Tried to look at HAL's pilot demand. Didn't see a graph or projected 50% upgrade function either.

Great work though.

 

Thank you for tracking the total number of physically outsourced regional aircraft seats!!!!!!!!!!
