The sad truth
 

Someone posted this on our board so I thought I would share. The two graphs at the bottom are the real sad news.

I guess we know who the expensive regionals are now too.

Good post, it settles alot of disputes.

And someone had already posted this on this site

Well no surprise there, the crappy regionals are cheaper.

Also that UA likes cheap regionals.

We are watching the transformation of this industry happening right before our eyes. It is just a microcosm of the outsourcing mentality that exists today. And as much as we all might complain about it, pilots will still take the jobs, mainline furloughees will slip into those seats for a fraction of the pay and the airplanes will be as adequately staffed as ever with a surplus of resumes in the HR person's stack.

I mentioned it once before. The numbers might not be very accurate. Looks at US Air vs. DAL. Also I would never believe ASA is the most expensive of everyone.

PDT scored n/a because the hospital bills from the illegally prepared crew meals offset the crew member's incomes.

this is not good news for asa. dont we have until next year to be the second lowest cost carrier. we're not even close.

Way to steal my thunder Air Support.....just when i finally put up a decent thread....you gotta show complete disregard for mine and post yours instead.... :p
