Default 180 pilots and 12 planes


"buttman" wrote in message

Acording to this website, Gemini Air Cargo has 180 pilots employed, but
only 12 planes in their fleet. Is this typical? That seems like a TON
of people for so very few planes...


I believe Gemini is still running older 747s, which means at the numbers
given they're staffed at 5 crews per aircraft. I've flown for people that
staffed a bit tighter, but 5 crews/airplane is not unusual at all.
