Unfortunately we have reduced our EASKs at a greater rate than them and required to cancel/reduce many more flights than them, thus many more block hours cut on our side vs theirs.

Ask how many flights they cut, and how many we cut and how many block hours/month the cuts represent...

I didn't realize this until you pointed it out in an earlier post... this really sucks.... WE need a one way check valve in the new contract to prevent this, just like international codeshare used to have. (The problem is that the check valve in THAT case worked against us)
