CASM and outsourcing

I meant crew.........

WN has almost 6000 pilots, or roughly 11 per A/C. But your general point is correct though, the staffing is very efficient.

It's not only the number of employees per passenger flight, it's what those employees do. Happy employees tend to work harder than pissed-off ones.

I.e., 4 WN rampers to turn a 737 in 30 minutes vs. UAL needing 6 to turn a bus and taking an hour.

Legacy management will NEVER get that.

Truer words have never been spoken my friend.
