Just curious...I've heard in the news a few times that the combination of UAL and CAL will create the world's largest airline.
If I use the BTS website and data from Airline Pilot Central I get a different answer.
Fleet size:
DAL=789
UAL+CAL= 705
Pax Enplanements: Jan-Mar 2010
DAL= 15.119 million
UAL + CAL= 14.2 million
Delta's Revenue Per Pax Mile was higher than UAL and CAL combined as well.
What am I missing here? Seems like DAL is still the world's largest airline. I didn't check employee head counts...maybe that's what the newscasters are talking about?
Anyone?
