We just pulled down ATL-TLV for the winter recently.... really??? You cannot and will never shrink intro profitability. This combined with the continued massive level of outsourcing (and the only new jets going to outsourced companies) and I think it may be time for some management renewal as well.
Jv's are good, but lets realize that AF has the money and the benefit of the "Import-Export" bank. They are buying the big metal. Look at the order books of our Skyteam partners and then compare them to ours.

For anyone that flies in to CDG it becomes quickly apparent that they fly the big metal and we fly more block of smaller metal.
