(1) Delta Private Jets weight requirements exceed that permitted flying as defined by our PWA.

It's non compliance we need to address by demanding OUR JOBS back.
(2) We are to operate 50% of the EASK (similar to ASM metrics) with AF/KLM. If they are growing 10.7% year over year and we are shrinking 12 to 18% seasonally, then it appears their half is a lot better than our half. The actual JV language is confidential, but it is referenced in our contract. IMHO we should grieve it. Those are our international Captain jobs being outsourced and some very choice flying assignments to say the least.
