7. When we have a look at the charts to compare Delta Airline with other two
airlines which are Qantas(FCC) and Air Asia(LCC), the first chart demonstrates us
that Staff/Pax ratio of the Delta Airline has the second highest amount which is
6.63 coming after Qantas which has the highest number 6.69.
When we look at the second chart shows us number of staff per aircraft, delta has
101.4 nearly doubled the the Air Asia’s Staff/Aircraft ratio but when we compare
with the Qantas’s Staff/Aircraft ratio it is very less than Qantas’s Staff/Aircraft ratio
since it is 252.01.
I think the difference which occured in the first chart between Delta Airlines and
Qantas maybe because of the fact that Delta Airlines has the great number of
passenger that is 120.6 million while Qantas has a number of 48.2 million
passengers. This can explain us that the ratio of Delta airline is lower than the
Qantas since Staff/PAX includes PAX and ‘’the more PAX is bigger the less the ratio
is.’’Furthermore , why Air Asia has the lowest ratio can be explained by the fact
that Air Asia has the lowest number of staff which is 10,000 and this affect the
ratio negatively.
In the second chart again Air Asia is worst one since its the number of staff is the
lowest which is 10,000 and this creates a disadvantage again. Delta has the
second Staff/Aircraft ratio because its number of aircrafts is much more higher
than the Qantas and that creates a disadvantage too since ‘’the higher the number
of aircraft, the lower ratio is.’’The Qantas has the highest ratio since its number of
aircrafts is the lowest value and this creates a very important advantage for the
ratio. ‘’The less the aircraft is ,the more the ratio is.’’
