Other part of our scope says that once we acquire 25% or more of a foreign carrier than the block hours that DAL pilots fly between the US and the home country of the foreign carrier cannot be reduced.(US-UK total block hours)
OK, so what are the projections regarding +/- DAL pilot block hours for the following 2 scenarios:

VAt rolled into AF/KLM JV.

VAt separate 50/50% JV similar to AF/KLM JV.

Cause I can't envision a scenario that will require us to add significantly more block hours because of the future JV. Even if we can't reduce to the UK now, can the VAt JV be used in such a way that we reduce elsewhere,relative to our current total?

IOW, besides theoretical profit sharing down the road, how will this effect DAL pilot block hours?
