In fact the clause is why we are picking up several routes from AirFrance such as Chicago and SEA. The Airfrance people are hopping mad about it by the way.
It's not a rumor.
Read the Live contract PWA Section 1 P 4.
The new compliance window began April 1 2011 and closes March 31 2014.
While we are in that period we have no ability to contractually require the company to any balance of flying.
Capacity share percentages for all previous years are disregarded.
We are currently at 46%...
At the end of the period in 2014 Delta will be required to get the 3-year average to at least 48.5% by 2015, either by increasing delta flying of decreasing AFKLM/AZ flying.
I take no pleasure, nor do I care that AFKLM/AZ are "hopping mad"
I'm "hopping mad" that we are stuck with less flying and unable to contractually require a remedy until 2014.
Cheers
George
As for ORD that's temporary till March 2012, then it goes away...
