First child, my Chessie retriever(best bird dog ever) and everyone under 2 years with the company. Is that enough? You'd lop me off the top for sure. I'll be dead in a few years anyway. No pilot left behind.

Let's vote on it in the light of day. Pro con, warts and all.

There is a higher probability you will be hit by a meteor than Alitalia leaving Sky Team? You need to read more amigo... They bail in 2017... Done deal.

Dont you think if one is a WB LCA or ALPA communicator you should know this type of information? It's only WB scope.

I would like to hear the expectation of the NC regarding this. The language isn't as strong as it could be. One more question for the road show I guess.
Ok, if you say so. But to me that language says if one of the companies leaves the JV, our company and dalpa will meet and confer to discuss the company's baseline EASK share and the minimum EASK share. Sounds like legal speak for renegotiation to me. The object of renegotiation being an agreement.

Thanks for the input. I'm not really as cynical as I post but having poor or intentionally weak language in the PWA has haunted my entire career. Try reading your credit card agreement or your insurance policy. That is specific language with enforceable intent. Too many lawyers in the family I guess.

Usually I have to go to the back of the airplane to get this kind of drama.

Anyone else figuring we will end up with less than 46.5% of AF/KLM following those negotiations?

Furthermore, why even put 48.5% in the contract if immediately after it allows 46.5%? Who comes up with this stuff?

Hope so. AZ brought profitable capacity to the network, but are being basically kicked out because they suck as an airline, and are also getting in bed with dual subsidized enemy airlines to a ridiculous extent. That's awesome. Good riddance.

But what happens next? After the "addressing of their concerns" in this TA, we'd better build a great wall on a ridge on this one. No more gives.

But does "renegotiation" here give us any leverage? I doubt the company will scuttle that portion of the network entirely. So the rest better be divvied up in a manner favorable to us for a change. 46.5% is half? I don't think so. We should get a greater than 50% share of the reallocation IMO.
