Another conclusion to draw from this chart: maybe Eagle has done a good job lowering their non-labor costs, and Republic and others less so. Since we are wholly owned, a lot of our training and other costs could be cut by "synergies" with AA, making labor a larger piece of the pie. A table like this was clearly made with a motive.

Okay. That's understood. But how does BrewCity infer that Republic crews cost twice as much as Compass? That was my original point. I understand they could be costlier than Compass but one cannot infer that they are twice as expensive (at least not from the chart). That was my original point that seems to have been lost

You can't from these numbers for two reasons.

1. We don't know what the total costs are for each airline
2. Each regional airline has different cost items as spelled out in their respective Asa or CPA with their mainline.

So these are next to useless
