Also, I am not sure that the time frame for compliance in the production balance is public, but as I understand it, the length that it is allows for a range, and then when it deviates outside of this range (a few bias points on either side of 50-50) the corrective window is large enough to take in to account normal seasonal adjustments.
From the numbers we are well outside of the 50/50% balance
If I read it right the window triples in length before our flying needs to be adjusted up based on lookback. That a pretty long wait...
I wonder how that extension is supposed to be benefitial to current Delta pilots. Seems like the company would want that if someone else were to be added to the Euro side of the JV....
