If your trying to make a point that without the joint venture Delta would have maintained capacity in the face of a huge economic meltdown in Europe then I think you are disallusioned. I think you can actually make the opposite case. Absent the joint venture pulldowns to Europe would be far more dramatic.
Sailing,
Both JV partners have reduced Transatlantic capacity.
Delta has reduced Transatlantic capacity much more than AFKLM.
Our current production balance share of flying is below 47%.
Now Delta is cutting more capacity.

Nothing wrong or misleading at all. Just facts.

Cheers
