Then the CBA went on to say that if other airlines were added to the JV that it would be in compliance it NW maintained it's 50% annual KLM ratio, not the ratio of the new JV partners. We were only going to maintain our ratio with KLM not the new group.

Fast forward to the JPWACBA where it became a 50/50 with KLM and AF not just against our previous KLM numbers like our CBA language. We get half of the combined KLM and AF numbers, then they added a third airline to their side of the JV and we still retained 50 percent or all the flying while the three of them are dividing up their side of flying into thirds now.
