And just how is that good for us? If the JV is built with less transAtlantic flying on their part PRIOR to the JV language being drawn up, that translates to less flying for us in the event of a AF/KLM-like JV deal. You should be hoping that the DAL/VA deal happens tomorrow, BEFORE their flying gets pulled down. And as to bullet point 4, there is no JV at this time, only a codeshare,unless you are referring to the AF/KLM JV...
