Now add Alitalia which has 100 units of flying. Delta now has 500 units of a 1100 point total. Immediately Delta has 45% of the balance, even though they haven't changed anything.
ALPA negotiated that we will now get 50% of the new 1100 point total or 550 units.
When? 3 years from now? Maybe? Or do we only need to touch 50% for an extremely short period of time, then an entirely new 3 year period of unbalance can begin?
This is such a typical example of an MEC administrator dude only telling half the story. Why not tell the whole story alfaromeo? Do you not know it? Why don't you tell us that you were so proud of the language that the whole MEC voted for it? Oh wait...

Clearly many of us see this for the lie that it is. We're also troubled that these lies and half truths keep coming from the permanent MEC bureaucracy whose lifestyle depends on the continued placation of management.
