Airline costs and productivity charts

[FCPhotography]

Pretty interesting. Scroll down to view all the charts. Notice the NWA/Delta pre bankrupcy vs. post bankrupcy.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

SWA labor costs are the highest but they have the fewest employees per aircraft, which helps them achieve the lowest CASM.

They're almost 2 years old... anything more recent?

A lot has happened since then. SWA has lost the fuel hedge advantage, had a quarterly loss last quarter, and now is stating costs are too high. Does it say that in the charts, because that is the reality of today.

A worthless comparison. Does SWA have employees in Europe, Asia and Africa?

The more destinations a company has, the more employees it takes. Pretty simple..

You do realize we are talking about number of employees per airplane. Right?

 

[tzskipper]

Generally speaking, the larger the aircraft, the more employees per said aircraft.

Shouldn't you guys be comparing ASM's per employee? Seems a little more accurate when comparing different fleets......

 

[FCPhotography]

Your right Muskycat...employees per aircraft mean nothing and it is a factor I bet no management team considers. Please excuse me for my previous post. It is probably all because of fuel hedging.
