Well they operate very lean, there pilots dont make any money, there flight attendants practically work for free, they MEL constantly to avoid major cash drains, and they operate at something like 3-5 pilots per plane, no profit sharing, crap 401K, 1.28 per diem. I dont know they operate different than any other airline...JO operates cheap and thats why they might stick...but Delta wont keep them so in time they will be gone. It would be like us with 15% concessions and no branded and 2000 pilots, we would turn a profit then (not saying thats what it should be by any means just).
