We gave that up to gain an additional 2.8% flying after March 31, 2014.

Note Two in 1.P.4 was a mechanism designed to provide Delta with an incentive to quickly get our share of flying into compliance. That's why it's a one time deal "the first 12-month period." But that same mechanism can be used to delay bringing up our share of flying to 50% without having to make a big gains as is happening right now "the capacity share percentages for all previous years will be disregarded."

We gained one Europe flight SEA CDG. We lost permanently many more city pairs.

This is real. I have made plenty of "phone calls" to any number of reps and insiders, many of them not so simple. I have sent boatloads of emails an crunched numbers for months. I am not making an anti ALPA argument here. But this is what it is. A simple phonecall is insufficient to gather an informed opinion on this issue. I'm just pointing out what is happening. Think of me as the FE on the UAL DC-8 pointing out the diminishing fuel supply as we hold.

Yes, we are "in compliance," and that's exactly why this is so unsat.
