So why is there no floor for us on the two off years? If we do a similar Pacific JV and another for S and C america, we could slash our intl and just rotate to a theatre once every 3 years and "be in full compliance".
Why no floor? That is indefensible. We should have at the very least gotten a hard, enforceable floor of our current flying.
Plus, this agreement coupled with our management's philosophy of using any pilot group in the world to do its flying unless absolutely prohibited means we likely will be 49.75% (under 50%...YTH could we not have gotten a 50.25% rounding point?) and mean that we will cycle between just under half, to even more under half, to even more under half, to just under half, etc etc etc.
