PBS Companies - Pilot to Plane ratio.

[surreal1221]

Might require some simple math, and a little bit of time, but if those of you at companies with PBS wouldn't mind telling me what the pilot (each seat) to aircraft ratio is that would be much appreciated. So Captain and First Officer ratios for each airframe (unless of course all flight crews fly the whole fleet).

Primarily focused more at the "regional" side of the game, but if you Delta guys want to break it down too I wouldn't complain.

I don't think a pilot to plane ratio is going to tell you a whole lot. A better thing to look at would be block hours to pilot ratio.

Well, that'd be helpful too I suppose.

Still interested in the numbers though, if anyone wants to give them.

Here's Pinnacle's breakdown:

ATL 6:1 about 4500 block hours

DTW 3:1 about 15,500 block hours

MEM 4:1 about 9,900 block hours

MSP 6:1 about 5,200 block hours

MEM has about 20 more CAs than FOs and MSP has 18 more CAs than FOs, so I based the numbers off of crews rather than on set from CAs and one set for FOs. There's also another 4 planes allocated for IND with another 950 block hours. Probably using the MSP guys for that, so that would change their numbers to 5:1.

For the record, based on those numbers, I have 6 9 hour RR sits this month (with a vacation week tossed in there, so I'm sitting twice a week), no home RSV shifts that I haven't been used for something and a JM call already on my day off.
