G4G5 said:I think the issue is capacity cut backs. If staffing requires approx 12 pilots per aircraft how many FA's are staffed per aircraft?
I don't have access to the DAL FA numbers but AA has approx 20,000 FA's and they operate approx 740 aircraft. In round numbers that's 27 per aircraft. For DAL to furlough 2,500 FA that would mean eliminating approx 90 aircraft. Not impossible.
I think AA has almost 10K pilots actively flying. Also, if you figure DAL has at least 12 pilots per aircraft that is 1080 pilots for 90 planes.
