I think.. is that AF can fly more because UAL and CAL and USA and AA all have flights between countries too. I don't care about any of them. Our agreement is that we have 50% of all that flying, then we should have 50% of all that flying. If AF adds something.. then we should too. Or grieve it.

Still waiting for my call back from DALPA.
You are confusing what I said. I referred to flying to and from France only and the political realities involved. The JV involves all flying to Europe. Currently we fly about 55 percent of the departures verses 45 percent for AF/KLM. The metric in the agreement is EASK . “EASK” means equivalent available seat kilometers, a measurement of capacity adjusted for an aircraft's seat density and cargo capacity, as defined and calculated in the 45 AF/KL/AZ JV agreement.
We are at around 47 percent with that metric.
