From your explanation I'm not sure you are aware of where we stand in the Transatlantic JV, especially considering your choice of words about our share of flying and how and why the new additional JV language (1.E.8) is quite different from the Transatlantic JV language (1.P).
As for the flights, I searched today on delta.com, the date of flight is in the picture...

I guess the member of the Negotiating Committee that briefed the scope section is not sufficiently expert enough for me to cite him in this discussion? What about TimO? I spoke to him too. It was hard. His time was monopolized by one first officer that occupied a lot of the Q&A and much of TimO's time afterward.
What language choice did I use that suggests a lack of understanding of the JV?
Or do you just disagree when I say "fair share"? That's not a lack of understanding; it's opinion. I think generating roughly half the capacity and over 65% of the pilot block hours (jobs) is quite favorable to us in that N.Atlantic JV.
