These are the only fees paid by passengers that BTS can currently identify separately. All other fees paid by passengers are combined in larger categories with other types of revenue, BTS said.
The largest network, low-cost and regional airlines reported operating revenue of $38.6 billion and operating expenses of $36.6 billion for the second quarter. These airlines collect virtually all the fees collected by the airline industry, BTS said.

2 Thus, it is perfectly acceptable to make the comparison to FedEx and UPS when looking at compensation. We are now more of a hybred airline generating significant revenue from fees.

Moak letter
ALPA represents professional pilots – Captains and Co-Pilots, narrow body and wide body, international and domestic, those who commute to work and those who do not, regional and main-line. Where some see conflicts of interest between the regional and legacy carriers, I see common ground, common purpose, and agreement.

Hey Hoser. Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed very much working with you too.
These discussions are difficult on both the DALPA Forum and here. A person's career and the financial future and well being of his/her family are very important priorities. Given the massive setbacks we have all had to endure over the past 7 years, I think people are going to have strong opinions. And sometimes those opinions are going to be stated with a certain degree of passion. Some of us consider the concept of "restoration" to be more than just a slogan or something one would have on a "wish list." Others seem to have given up on restoration and resigned themselves to just trying to do the best we can to make improvements from this point or even just to not "rock the boat" as they near the end of their careers. I see it as a "failure is not an option" kind of thing. Apparently, some others don't. In any case, it's an important and sensitive topic and there are going to be serious disagreements.
I really couldn't care less who represents me. I have no loyalty to ALPA (even though I've been a member for over 20 years, I don't think they've earned it) or DPA. What I do care about is that whomever is representing me has the objective of getting this career back on track so that I can provide for my family in the manner I had planned. When I see indications (a lot of indications) that my representation does not have this kind of objective (and that they appear to be even avoiding discussing the issue), I am not going to walk on egg shells in pointing this out. I think one can be firm and respectful at the same time. I'm not perfect, but I do try to stay away from the personal attacks. On the other hand, when a personal attack comes I'm not one to just rollover and play dead without a response. Sorry if that's ruffled some feathers here and there, but it is what it is. Just remember, what you observed directly when working with me is who I am. And that is very different than the way some of my "adversaries" here and on the DALPA Forum have tried to portray me. I don't know Carl personally, but I suspect it is much the same with him. None of us are perfect, and an attack on one's integrity or intellectual honesty is often going to be met with the same. That's just human nature. When it's all said and done, what really matters it the facts and how those facts either support or do not support your opinion.
Getting back to the DPA/ALPA discussion... From everything I've seen, personally I think we'd be better off flushing ALPA at this point and trying DPA. I don't see DPA as possibly being any worse and possibly could be a lot better. Maybe our opener will change my mind. But unfortunately, I don't think we have the luxury of waiting until that point to see. Anyway, that's just my opinion. And I respect most everyone else's opinions. Just don't expect me to agree with those opinions if it means lowering my standards.
Sorry if I rambled a bit in this post.
