Aircraft Manning Comparison....
XJT -- 11.6 pilots per plane
RAH -- 9.6 pilots per plane
AE -- 10.4 pilots per
ASA -- 11.2 pilots per
COMAIR -- 9.9 pilots per
Skywest -- 10 pilots per
AirWis -- 11.6 pilots per
Horizon -- 10.3 pilots Per
Pinnacle -- 10.1 pilots per
Mesaba -- 14 pilots per
Trans States -- 10.9 pilots per
AA -- 13.1
CAL -- 13.4
DAL -- 15.5
NW -- 11.9
UAL -- 18
USAir -- 13.7
UPS -- 12.6
FedEx -- 13.1
All numbers are per Aircraft. Numbers of Pilots and aircraft are from APC info. Certainly the numbers arnt 100% but give good baselines.
Who seems to be overstaffed...and who seems to be understaffed?

The important number to look at is FOs or CAs per a/c. That's why I wouldn't go to Mesaba as a direct entry CA, the reason they don't have enough CAs is because none of their FOs have enough time to qualify for ATP mins. I think a lot of people are going to get bumped down to FO or lance CA or at least ride reserve for a couple years because while that FO was below you time wise, he or she is above you seniority number wise.

Though it is clear that the legacy carriers and the cargo guys have higher numbers of pilots per plane than the National/Regional carriers. FWIW... Southwests number is 11 pilots per aircraft more in line with the smaller carriers than the legacy's. And certainly without the additional info that HSLD spoke of its not a complete statistic, but it certainly shows trends within types of carriers. I suspect the higher crew numbers for the mainline carriers is due to their international flying and the requirement to have crews in crew rest for extended periods of time in international destinations.
