TSquare,

We can't grieve it until there is non compliance. I've been pushing for at least a letter from our MEC Chair (or MEC body), but have been told that everyone is aware of the issue. ALPA seems to have accepted management's explanation that Air France is not as "nimble" with capacity reductions as we are.

Whether or not 50% is "fair" does not much matter. 50% is what was agreed to. I do my best as an employee to perform every service I am contracted to do (and more). I would like the same measure of good faith reciprocated by Delta Air Lines (who pays for their share of the Air France operation).

I have asked my Reps to direct corrective action, to restore our flying, if renegotiation takes place prior to the cure period in the JV.
